Variant-wise mileage (ARAI figures)
ARAI figures reflect the common Beat configurations offered in 2013, primarily the 1.2-litre petrol engine with manual or automated manual transmission.

Real-world mileage tends to be lower than the ARAI numbers in city driving, and can improve on highways.
Real-world mileage and influencing factors
While ARAI figures provide a baseline, several factors influence real-world fuel economy. The following are the dominant variables buyers should consider:
Common factors affecting mileage:
- Driving style: smooth acceleration and steady speeds improve efficiency.
- Traffic conditions: frequent idling and stop-and-go reduce mileage.
- Terrain and route: highway cruising yields better mileage than city routes.
- Vehicle maintenance: proper tire inflation, clean air filters, and timely servicing help preserve economy.
- A/C use and payload: air conditioning and heavy loads modestly reduce fuel economy.
In typical urban use, Beat owners might see mileage in the mid-teens, while longer highway trips can push averages closer to the upper end of the 17–20 kmpl range.
