Asked by: Swanand Shirvalkaron Feb 2, 2026

I am planning to buy an automatic SUV with a budget of ₹25 lakh and am confused between the Hyundai Creta DCT and Kia Seltos GTX Plus DCT. My usage will be mostly on highways with occasional city driving. Which one should I choose?

While both are compelling options, we would recommend the Kia Seltos, as it is simply the newer of the two, which brings several advantages. The new K3 platform is more advanced, with the latest electronic architecture that delivers more modern tech with better software and hardware. 

It's also a larger vehicle, offering more space inside the cabin, and has better ride quality than the Creta. There will be a new-gen Creta that will likely be built on this new platform, but it will not arrive before 2027. Until then, at least, the Seltos is the better option, using the same 160hp, 1.5 turbo-petrol engine and 7-speed DCT gearbox. 

However, since your usage is mostly on the highway, we recommend trying the smooth and more efficient diesel automatic version as well.

Asked by: ASon Feb 1, 2026

Hi Team. I need your advice on whether the Thar Roxx would be suitable for my usage. I am currently driving a 2015 Hyundai i10 manual and am planning to change it. About 90% of my driving is within the city, with a monthly running of around 1,000 km. The car is mainly used for home-to-office commutes, weekend city trips, and once-a-month highway drives. Now that the Roxx Star Edition has been launched, I am interested in it. Please suggest whether it is suitable for me. If yes, should I choose petrol or diesel? I prefer an automatic, but that will exceed my budget. I have a budget constraint of around ₹17 lakh on-road with a BH number. Please suggest other suitable options if the Thar Roxx is not ideal.

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is the most refined, sophisticated, and easy-to-drive ladder-frame SUV Mahindra has made yet, and its intention is to rival more conventional midsize SUVs like the Hyundai Creta.
However, some shortcomings of a ladder-frame SUV still remain. It is a large SUV whose boxy dimensions aren't ideal for the city, and its ride comfort is not as good as that of a conventional midsize SUV with a lot of movement inside the cabin. And its engines - both petrol and diesel - while powerful and relatively smooth, return very poor mileage, which will be a huge contrast after your 2015 Hyundai i10 manual. Still, it is a very appealing SUV, especially on the looks front, and it offers all the modern features you could want too, so if you are willing to put up with these shortcomings, you can check it out.
Do note, however, that the Roxx Star Edition will be outside your budget of Rs 17 lakh, even for the manual version. Otherwise, we would recommend waiting for the new Renault Duster to be launched in March 2026; it will offer similar tough appeal at a possibly more affordable price.

Asked by: Ramesh Jadhavon Feb 1, 2026

I am confused between the new Seltos HTK O and the Creta S(O). Which one should I buy? My daily running is around 35 km, and I often go on long drives of up to 300 km. Please advise.

The Kia Seltos HTK O is a great option. It is more spacious and comfortable than a Hyundai Creta, and its ride comfort too is noticeably better than the Hyundai's. Both cars are powered by the same 1.5-litre petrol engine, that's smooth and refined, and both cars are available with either a 6-speed manual or IVT (automatic). Between the two, we'd pick the Seltos, which is newer and a bit more comfortable.

Asked by: Jayesh Shahon Feb 1, 2026

Hello, I am an NRI. We spend 3-4 months in India. I have been using short-term car subscriptions during our stay, and for the last two years, we have rented a Brezza. Now, I am considering buying a recent-model used car. We will use it during our stay for long trips, and at other times, my family will use and maintain it. Can you recommend a reliable model? My budget is ₹10-12 lakh. Thank you.

You could consider getting a pre-owned petrol-automatic midsize SUV, such as the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, or Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. These are sensible and reliable options, and you can find plenty of 2-3 year-old examples that'll fall into your Rs 10-12 lakh budget. You could consider trusted used car platforms such as Spinny, where vehicles are thoroughly inspected and are backed by a warranty, too.

Asked by: Bobby John Johnon Jan 30, 2026

I am looking to purchase a new mid-SUV with a budget of around ₹15 lakh, preferably automatic. I am not very keen on tech features. Is the Honda Elevate a good choice, or should I consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX, AX5, or AX7? Please advise.

Between the two, Honda Elevate is a better bet because of its very reliable engine and larger cabin. Honda dealers are offering some good discounts on the Elevate, so you can negotiate a good price for yourself. 

Elevate has a very spacious cabin, but the cabin quality is not as premium as other products in the segment. If you are open to other choices, we suggest you check out the Kia Seltos 1.5 Petrol IVT and the Hyundai Creta 1.5 Petrol IVT. These offer a much better overall cabin experience.

Asked by: Sharvayuon Jan 29, 2026

My budget is Rs 25 lakh on-road. I want an automatic SUV, and my running is low, mostly city usage. What should I consider?

You can consider the Kia Seltos or the Hyundai Creta. Both offer similar powertrain choices, but the Seltos is the newer SUV with a fresher-looking interior. The design is a bit polarising and bold, but if you don't mind that, then the Seltos has the upper hand when it comes to the feel-good factor. The Seltos with the GTX (A) trim is worth checking out as it has a sportier look compared to the Creta in its top-spec guise.

Asked by: Santosh Singhon Jan 29, 2026

I am 54 years old and enjoy driving. My daily office commute is 10 to 20 km. Once a year, I drive about 2,000 km to my native place. I am confused between the Creta and Sierra, and I am also open to the 7XO, Harrier, etc. Please advise.

Given your requirements, the Mahindra XUV 7XO will be a great choice for the long-distance trip. It offers plenty of space, features, and the new suspension gives it a segment-best ride, especially on the highway.
However, if the 7XO is a bit too large in size, the Hyundai Creta is a great all-rounder that offers a good ride, a comfy cabin, lots of tech and features and a strong set of engines and gearbox options. You cannot go wrong with either, and it only boils down to preference in size. If you are okay with a larger SUV, we recommend the 7XO, but if you'd like it to be a bit easier in the city, the Creta is the best bet.

Asked by: Arijiton Jan 29, 2026

I have shortlisted the new Kia Seltos HTK(O) and the Hyundai Creta S(O), both with CVT/IVT. Please guide me on which one offers better safety ratings, lower maintenance, and better resale value. Also, if I buy the matte black Creta, will it be difficult to maintain? My driving is mainly within Kolkata city, with very little highway use. I do not want a DCT or a manual.

The Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta are mechanically identical, so the safety ratings and maintenance costs will be similar. However, the Creta has a stronger brand name and is more in demand, giving it the upper hand when it comes to resale value. The CVT/iVT transmission is the ideal choice for you since most of your drive is in the city, and no transmission is smoother than a CVT.
Matte black paint does require more care since it shows scratches and marks easily. However, a good paint protection film or ceramic coating should help keep the paint in good condition. You will need to regularly maintain it, though, if you want it to look its best. Something you don't really  have to do with a standard gloss paint.

Asked by: Amit Don Jan 29, 2026

I have been using a Ciaz Auto for the last 8 years. I want to upgrade to a mid-sized SUV. Which of the current options would you recommend? My driving is about 7,000-8,000 km per year, with a mix of both city and highway driving. My budget can go up to Rs 24 lakh, and I am thinking of opting for ADAS features to keep the car relevant and modern for the next 8-10 years.

Considering you keep your cars for a long time, we would suggest the recently launched Kia Seltos. We recommend the petrol variant, considering you drive below 10,000 km per year. Within your budget, you can get the top-of-the-line GTX (A) or X-Line (A) variant with the CVT automatic gearbox. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, though not the most powerful on paper, has enough poke for city driving and is well-mated to the automatic gearbox, which makes city driving easy. It also comes well-loaded with features and includes Level 2 ADAS, which is one of your requirements.
If you are looking for extra performance, you can also consider the turbo petrol version, but the driving experience won’t be as smooth, and fuel efficiency will be lower. You could also consider the Hyundai Creta, which falls within your budget. However, note that the Creta is due to be replaced by early next year.

Asked by: Parveen Sharmaon Jan 28, 2026

I’m confused between the Hyundai Creta diesel base model and the new Kia Seltos diesel base model. My priorities are comfort for long journeys as well as safety. Please guide me.

Since you are looking at keeping the car for a while, we would recommend the Kia Seltos over the Hyundai Creta. It is the newer one of the two with a few more modern features, including over-the-air updates for certain modules like the infotainment system. This way your car will stay newer for a longer time. 

Also, the New Kia Seltos will meet your requirement of comfort as the new car has a longer wheelbase. Therefore, it liberates more room, and the suspension is also tuned with a bias towards a comfortable ride.
