Asked by: Azharon Feb 27, 2026
I want to buy a car with a budget of โน16-18 lakh ex-showroom under my employerโs car lease policy. My usage is very light, around 1000 km per month. I currently have a Swift VXi on which Iโve done 30,000 km in 4 years. The car is used mostly in the city with occasional highway trips. I want a petrol manual with a good driving experience like my Swift. I am confused between Kia Seltos, Toyota Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, and Honda Elevate. Should I consider extending my budget for an XUV 7XO AX7 or should I wait for the Hyundai Creta update (I like the Dark Edition)? Please suggest the most valuable car in this budget with its recommended variant.
If the driving experience is the top priority, the Skoda Kushaq will be the right pick for you. It's got punchy turbo-petrol engines, and handling is very enjoyable. The updated Kushaq launches next month and packs in a few more features, and also stronger air conditioning. While Skoda has not announced prices as yet, you should get a fully-loaded 1.0 TSI with a manual gearbox within your budget.
Of the other options, the Honda Elevate is also worth considering. Engine performance and handling are good, but refinement isn't great for this segment.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO AX7 is great, but it might be too large for your requirements. Also, fuel economy is lower than the alternatives on your list. The Hyundai Creta is a practical pick, and the 1.5 petrol engine and manual gearbox are easygoing, but unexciting.

Asked by: Santhosh Mahadevanon Feb 25, 2026
Hi, I am planning to buy a car for our family, which will be primarily used by my dad and occasionally by me as well. Currently, he drives a Maruti Ciaz diesel. The plan was to go for an SUV with a budget of โน18-21 lakh. We were thinking of the Hyundai Creta Diesel Automatic or the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid. Alternatively, we also had the new Kia Seltos and new XUV700 in mind, given their price range. His main priorities are: Smooth driving experience (including smooth suspension) Very good rear seat space (including legroom - as the Ciaz offers very good space) Good luggage space Decent mileage (13-15 km/l in city and 18-20 km/l on highways) Low maintenance and minimal headaches for 5-6 years Considering these, can you guide us on which could be the best option and the specific model we should go for? The expected driving range would be more than 500 km per month.
If you want very good legroom that matches the Honda Ciaz and a smooth driving experience, the Mahindra XUV 7XO 2.2 diesel AT is a good choice. Mahindra has upgraded the rear suspension, and the ride quality and handling have improved significantly.
Rear seat space is excellent, and luggage space is very good, especially with the third row folded down. The trade-off is that the 7XO is a big, heavy SUV. It doesnโt feel as nimble in city traffic and tight parking, and it isnโt very efficient compared to the other options.
If fuel efficiency is a higher priority for you, then the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara strong hybrid (or its mechanically similar cousin, the Victoris hybrid) will give you much better economy. It delivers smooth performance, easy city driving and the efficiency figures youโre aiming for.
The Hyundai Creta diesel AT is also a solid, more efficient choice than the 7XO, with a comfortable ride and easy usability in town traffic.
After the Ciaz, youโll likely feel most at home in the 7XO because of the space and comfort it offers. But if you prefer better efficiency and a slightly smaller, easier-to-live-with package, the Grand Vitara hybrid or the Creta diesel automatic are both good alternatives within your budget.

Looking for an automatic car without a sunroof, with a budget under โน15 lakh. I love the Creta, but my mind needs an opinion on my options before I give in to my heart.
You will need to stretch your budget for the Hyundai Creta automatic, as even the base EX O IVT variant will set you back by over Rs 16 lakhs on-road. Also, by default, this variant gets a sunroof. Alternatively, you could look at the Kia Seltos, the HTE O IVT variant, which is cheaper than the entry-level Creta automatic, and what you will also appreciate is that it doesn't get a Sunroof.
Moreover, the Seltos has a newer interior, which feels modern and looks more upmarket than the Creta's. Cabin space is more than that of the Hyundai, and the Kia's ride comfort is also very impressive. You will still have to stretch your budget for the Kia, but the Seltos HTE O IVT is seriously worth considering.

I have a 2015 manual diesel Creta SX(O) model for the past 10 years. Planning to buy an automatic car. Family of two, and I am 65. Only Bangalore city driving, averaging 100 km per month. What car similar to the Creta do you suggest? I do not mind waiting for six months.
For your mostly city driving in Bangalore and an easy-to-live-with automatic, the Kia Seltos is a very good choice. It feels familiar but is larger, more spacious and better equipped than your old Creta, with a bigger boot as well.
We recommend the 1.5 litre petrol with the IVT automatic. The gearbox is smooth and seamless, and the refined engine makes everyday driving effortless. The Hyundai Creta is also a good option, but the Seltos feels slightly more spacious and is a better value at a similar price. Plus, the Hyundai Creta is expected to be replaced early next year, and since you are willing to wait, this is something you can keep in mind before making a final decision.

I currently own a 5-year-old BS6 EcoSport diesel (earlier had a BS4 EcoSport diesel for 6 years). I now want to change my car but am unsure which one to buy. I am based in Delhi and drive around 9,000km per year, mostly in the city, with 3-4 highway trips annually. Budget: โน17-19 lakh. Priorities: driving experience, double-digit real-world mileage, and overall product value. Test drives done: Creta, Elevate, Seltos petrol (NA) - did not feel very impressive. I am inclined towards the Alcazar, Creta Turbo, and XUV700, but I am open to suggestions.
Out of the cars you have shortlisted, all use turbo petrol engines, and achieving double-digit fuel efficiency in a congested city like Delhi will be difficult. Your best bet for good and consistent efficiency is to opt for a naturally aspirated petrol engine.
That said, whether you choose a naturally aspirated or turbo petrol, we would suggest going for the new Kia Seltos. It shares its engine options with the Creta and Alcazar, including both the 1.5 litre NA petrol and the 1.5 litre turbo petrol. Being the newer generation car, the Seltos is larger than the Creta, more spacious, better equipped, and also offers a bigger boot.
Between the Seltos and the Alcazar, choose the Hyundai Alcazar if you want the captain seat option, the ability to seat more than five people, and a larger boot with the third row folded.
We would not recommend the Mahindra XUV700, now called the XUV 7XO, for your usage. Within your budget, you would only get the lower variants, which are not as well-equipped as the others.
More importantly, fuel efficiency could be a concern. While the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivers effortless performance, achieving double-digit mileage figures, even on the highway, would require very gentle driving.

I want to purchase a new car. My monthly running is approximately 1,500km, generally from Gurugram to Delhi. I am confused between the Creta petrol and the Hyryder smart hybrid. Which one should I consider?
Between the two cars, the Hyundai Creta is a good choice. It feels more premium on the inside, is more spacious, and gets a more capable 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which works very well in stop-and-go traffic. If you opt for the CVT variant, it is silky smooth and proves to be an excellent city companion.
If you are considering the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and your budget allows, we would strongly suggest going for the strong hybrid instead of the standard version. Not only is it easier to drive in traffic, as it runs on the electric motor for a large part of the time, but it is also extremely fuel-efficient.
This is especially important given that you will be driving close to 20,000 km a year. In real-world conditions, where you might see around 10 kpl in Gurgaon Delhi traffic in a petrol SUV, the Hyryder Hybrid can realistically deliver over 20 kpl, resulting in significant savings over time.

Asked by: Harion Feb 16, 2026
Hello, I have shortlisted the Creta for purchase. Could you please help me understand if I can confidently buy the DCT gearbox, since there were many issues reported back in 2019? Has Hyundai updated the latest DCT mechanism, as we are not hearing about failures recently? Please suggest.
DCTs do have a reputation, largely because of the older Volkswagen units, which had quite a few failures in India. The Hyundai Creta DCT is generally more reliable. While Hyundai has not changed the gearbox itself, with the switch from the older 1.4-litre engine to the 1.5-litre unit, there have been calibration changes that have improved creep behaviour and thus the longevity of the gearbox.
However, if you are still concerned about the DCT and your drive is mostly in the city in traffic, opt for the Creta 1.5 petrol with the CVT gearbox. It does not make as much power as the turbocharged unit, but for most scenarios, it does just fine and is a very smooth gearbox to drive.

Asked by: Ajay Thilakanon Feb 16, 2026
Iโm looking for a compact SUV, and I am a big fan of the Kia Seltos. I am a driving enthusiast, but the TGDi engine of the Seltos will stretch my budget considerably. I also want all the bells and whistles like a 360-degree camera and a fully digital instrument cluster. I wanted a manual gearbox with the TGDi, but that is no longer an option. My dilemma is whether to choose the Kia Seltos HTX(A) manual with the naturally aspirated engine or the Hyundai Venue N-Line N10 DCT. Is spending โน2-4 lakh extra on the Kia Seltos (considering both NA and TGDi engines) justifiable, or should I settle for the sub-4-metre Hyundai Venue (1.0L turbo engine)?
If you enjoy driving, the Kia Seltos's 1.5 naturally aspirated petrol is not the engine for you - capable as it is in everyday driving. Similarly, the Hyundai Venue, even though its 1.0-litre T-GDi engine has a strong 120hp power figure, just doesn't feel quite as punchy or enthusiastic as the numbers suggest. And since you're on a budget, but you also want all the bells and whistles, there are a couple of different ways you could go.
Since Kia doesn't offer the 1.5 T-GDi with a manual gearbox (the iMT is not as enjoyable), you could increase your budget and go for the DCT. If that's not an option, consider other fun-to-drive and fully loaded cars that could serve all your needs.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO with its 131hp, T-GDi engine is exciting to drive, especially in manual guise, and gets you loads of features within your budget. However, our recommendation is the Hyundai Creta N-Line - it's a little older than the Seltos and doesn't have the latest tech, but it's still very well-loaded with features and good on space too. Moreover, you get the smooth yet punchy 1.5 T-GDi engine with a manual, and the N-Line arguably handles better than the Seltos, too.

Asked by: Subhra Dason Feb 16, 2026
I have narrowed my options down to the Honda Elevate CVT and the Creta CVT. While driving comfort seems slightly better in the Creta, which one should I choose considering reliability, long-term maintenance, and efficiency?
While the Honda Elevate CVT has its strengths, the Hyundai Creta IVT is a more rounded product. It's got the significantly nicer gearbox with less of the rubberband effect (sharp rise in revs without a corresponding rise in road speed) than the Elevate. The Creta also scores with better overall refinement, a roomier cabin and more features.
Neither model will cause trouble in terms of reliability and long-term maintenance. Efficiency, however, is a function of driving style. Drive with a light foot, and you can expect decent fuel economy figures (10kpl in the city, 13-15kpl on the highway are typical numbers), but aggressive driving will have the SUVs deliver much lower figures.

Asked by: Dabason Feb 16, 2026
I already have a 2019 Seltos petrol manual. Recently, I got a job, and my workplace is 45km away from my home, so it is a 90km daily drive. This long commute is taking a toll on my pocket, as I hardly get decent mileage. Moreover, pressing the clutch and brake in traffic during my return journey is frustrating and tiresome. Should I install CNG in my car, or should I sell it and buy a new one? If so, which one?
In our opinion, you should avoid retrofitting CNG to your around 7-year-old Seltos. Instead, it makes more sense to sell it and move to a newer car that is more efficient and easier on the pocket.
If you can set up home charging, an EV makes a lot of sense. It will significantly cut down your travel expenses, and, being an electric car, there is no hassle of changing gears. EVs are smooth and extremely easy to drive, which can greatly reduce daily driving stress.
Since you already own a Kia Seltos and would prefer something familiar, we would suggest considering the Hyundai Creta Electric. It is a very well-rounded product, and the calibration of the electric motor is spot on, making it extremely smooth and easy to drive. It also offers a single pedal regenerative braking mode that works beautifully, and once you get used to it, you will rarely need to use the brake pedal, reducing fatigue even further. Considering your running, we would recommend the larger 52 kWh battery pack, which should deliver over 350 km on a single charge, making it practical for your usage.
There are other, on-paper, more impressive EVs at this price point, such as the Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra BE 6. However, if you are looking for a car that is easy to drive, hassle-free and easy to live with, the Creta EV is a very strong choice.
If you prefer to stick with an internal combustion engine but want lower running costs, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Victoris Hybrid. It runs in EV mode a lot of the time at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic, making it very smooth and easy to drive. Being a strong hybrid, it is also extremely efficient, and even in the worst traffic conditions, you can safely expect over 20 kpl. Since it is still an ICE vehicle, occasional long highway trips donโt require planning, unlike an EV. What you will need to plan, however, is luggage, as the hybrid battery under the boot floor does eat into usable boot space.
If you are willing to wait, the new Renault Duster is expected to get a hybrid powertrain around Diwali, and the next-generation Creta and Seltos are also expected to receive hybrid options early next year.
