@ Reshul | As you will be driving on hills....the engine will require more power than usual in moving the vehicle uphill....so you might get reduced mileage than usual.....cant give exact numbers.

All said and done. I have drove 1.5 ltr petrol engine ecosport for 12000 KMs (close of 5000 on highway and 7000 intra-city) In term of mileage its a big disappointment. Average mileage I Could get in intra-city traffic (Delhi NCR) is 8KPML. Whereason Highway (mainly NH-1), it is 10KMPL. Don't go with what company claims. If you average drive in a month is above 1000 kms, ecosport would cost you INR 2000 per month extra vis-a-vis competition (Honda WR-V, Breeza etc). In term of performance, it does well on highway but I have my doubts on hill drive. I feel it would be unable to cope with hill drive requirements. At times it is unable to offer you required tourque which is absolutely essential on hill drive. Instead consider Hyundai Creta.
