Is the 1.5L NA petrol engine of the Creta underpowered for highway use?

The discussion on this has led to talk about whether the Hyundai Creta should be offered with a more powerful engine as standard, given the price point of the car. Now, let's take a look at the real world performance of this engine, its strengths and weaknesses, and how it compares to expectation among buyers in this segment.
