Trending Questions on Hyundai Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am thinking of buying the Sonet HTK Optional DCT turbo petrol, which is around โน12 lakh, and at the same time, the Venue HX5 turbo DCT petrol is coming at โน13.5 lakh on-road in Bangalore. Which should I pick? Second, are heating issues still a thing to consider in both these DCT models?
Please advise which car I should buy. I am confused between the Hyundai Creta EX(O) IVT, Kia Seltos HTE(O) IVT, and Honda Elevate V CVT, all 2026 models. My usage will be 50% city and 50% highway. I plan to sell the car in 3 to 4 years, so good resale value is important. Which of these cars would be the better value for money and easier to resell later? Please suggest.
Since your usage is split evenly between city and highway and you plan to sell the car in about 3โ4 years, choosing the model that feels the most modern and premium today would make more sense.
Among the three, we would suggest going for the Kia Seltos IVT. It is the newer car compared to the Hyundai Creta, and it is also slightly larger and more spacious, which helps it feel more premium overall. Both the Seltos and Creta share the same powertrain, so either car will offer a similar driving experience. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is one of the most refined units in this segment and the IVT/CVT transmission is silky smooth, making it well suited for both city and highway driving.
Also, considering that the Creta is expected to be replaced early next year, it is unlikely to have a higher resale value compared to the Seltos in the coming years.
The Honda Elevate is also a safe and reliable option. However, compared to the Creta and the Seltos, it does not feel as premium and the engine is a bit noisier than the Hyundai/Kia unit. It is also an older product compared to the Seltos.
My office is located 10km from my house, with mixed city and highway driving. I am planning to buy a car which is automatic and fuel-efficient. Budget around โน10 lakh. Could you please suggest a car that will be relevant for up to 15 years?
Hi. I'm a first time car buyer. Want to buy a spacious and comfortable car within 11 lakhs. I don't have much of a driving experience so the car should be easy to drive and maintain. Much of the car use would be within the city and my monthly run of around 200kms. I'm considering both manual as well as automatic options. I would like to know your suggestions.
We would suggest you consider the Hyundai i20 IVT. The gearbox is smooth, the cabin is spacious, and within your budget, you can get the Sportz (O) variant. It is compact, easy to drive and park in the city, and also offers a reasonably large boot.
If you want something slightly larger, you can consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. It is more spacious inside, more comfortable for a larger family and also has a bigger boot. The AMT gearbox is not as smooth as the CVT in the i20, but it is well-tuned and will also be more efficient.
We are expecting the HX10 turbo manual Verna. Is it possible?
Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to buy a Hyundai Creta this month. My local showroom has quoted me around โน16.7 lakh on-road for the Creta S (O) petrol manual, including a โน30,000 discount on a โน17 lakh price. However, I have received quotations from multiple Delhi showrooms, with the best offer being around โน15.8 lakh for the same model. Are cars generally cheaper in Delhi compared to other states, or is there a possibility that these offers could involve something suspicious or defective? How can I verify that the deal is genuine and ensure that I am not being misled?
Some dealers might have stock of the exact colour or variant of the Hyundai Creta that you're looking for. In order to liquidate it quickly, they're offering you a higher discount. It isn't necessarily a wrong or defective product.
Compare the proforma invoices that multiple dealers have sent you - there might be certain (optional) costs which some dealers may have levied, like 'accessories pack', 'miscellaneous charges', etc., thereby escalating the final on-road price.
Some dealers might even inflate insurance costs, so look for that as well. Pick the dealer who is giving you the best deal, or is providing you with delivery of your car at the earliest.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where you pick the car from, as long as the dealer registers and insures it correctly for you. After you buy the vehicle, you can also opt to service it at your preferred authorised service centre.
I am confused between the Tata Punch EV, Toyota Ebella, and Hyundai Creta EV. I am not very sure about Ebella, as there is no clear timeline yet for its launch or delivery. Is the Creta EV a good option, or should I consider the Punch EV instead? Or would it be better to wait for the Ebella?
The Hyundai Creta Electric is the best model from your shortlist. It's got a very refined powertrain and delivers a good range (LR variant). It also feels the best-rounded thanks to its cabin being roomier than the Tata Punch EV's and Toyota Ebella's.
The Tata Punch EV is impressive, but it is essentially two sizes smaller than the Hyundai Creta Electric. Correspondingly, it won't be as well-suited to family use as the Creta.
Toyota's Ebella doesn't quite hit the spot. It's not particularly practical for its size, and the stiff ride quality also marks it down. The Toyota should be keenly priced when it goes on sale in the days to come.
I am confused between the Hyundai Venue SX(O) Petrol 1.0-litre Turbo Automatic (DCT), Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5 Petrol 1.2-litre Turbo Automatic (Torque Converter), and Hyundai Venue SX(O) Diesel 1.5-litre Automatic (Torque Converter). Which of these would be better in terms of hassle-free ownership, reliability, and long-term peace of mind? I plan to keep the car for many years for my family, so comfort and reliability are very important to me.
If your priority is long-term reliability and hassle-free ownership, the powertrain choice and brand service experience will matter more than outright performance.
Between the three options, the Hyundai Venue petrol turbo with the DCT automatic is the safer choice in terms of ownership experience. Hyundai has a strong reputation for reliability and service support, and the Venue is a well-proven product. It also offers a comfortable ride and a well-finished cabin, which makes it suitable for long-term family use.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO petrol automatic is a very good car to drive and offers strong performance thanks to its larger 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. It also has a spacious cabin and good ride quality. However, Mahindraโs ownership experience and service consistency can vary depending on location.
The Venue diesel automatic can make sense if your running is high and you regularly do highway drives. However, for typical mixed usage, the petrol automatic will generally be the simpler option to live with.
I am looking to buy a new car, preferably an SUV with an automatic gearbox. My previous car was the Hyundai Elite i20, and now I am looking for something more comfortable, premium, and reliable. My budget is around โน22 lakh, and my usage will be less than 1,000 km per month, mostly city driving with occasional long trips. I have already booked the Tata Sierra, but I am now having second thoughts due to the long waiting period and concerns about Tataโs service and reliability. I am open to other brands as well, but would prefer petrol or hybrid engine options. What would you recommend?
With your running of less than 1,000 km a month, going for a strong hybrid may not really make sense. Hybrids typically justify their higher price only when the running is higher, and you are able to recover the extra cost through fuel savings.
In your case, we would suggest considering the Hyundai Creta turbo-petrol with the 7-speed DCT automatic. Since your previous car was the Hyundai i20, you are already familiar with the Hyundai brand and its ownership experience.
The Cretaโs 1.5-litre turbo petrol paired with the DCT offers strong performance and smooth shifting, making it both enjoyable on the highway and easy to drive in the city.
Another strong option to consider is the Kia Seltos turbo-petrol with the 7-speed DCT. The Seltos is the newer car, slightly bigger and more spacious than the Creta, yet priced very similarly. It uses the same 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine paired with a DCT gearbox that delivers quick and smooth shifts.
I have been driving a Hyundai Santro (AMT) for the last six years, and now I am planning to upgrade with a budget of โน12-13 lakh. My current car has done only 15,000 km in six years, so my usage is relatively low. In my next car, I am looking for features like a reverse camera, Android Auto, and voice commands to make driving easier. I am interested in the Kia Seltos, Kia Sonet, and Tata Nexon, but I am open to other suggestions as well. Which car would you recommend?
The Hyundai Venue will feel like a big upgrade from your Hyundai Santro AMT. The turbo petrol engine paired with the DCT gearbox offers strong performance and smooth shifts, which makes driving in the city effortless. It also gets features like a reverse camera, Android Auto connectivity and voice commands that you are specifically looking for. Overall, it will be a noticeable step up in terms of power, features, space and overall comfort.
Among the other cars you mentioned, the Kia Sonet is also a good option. However, the Venue is the newer car and is more spacious. Also, a replacement for the Sonet is expected next year, which means it may feel dated sooner.
The Tata Nexon petrol is another option that offers good space and a comfortable ride, but the Venue feels more refined and easier to drive and is the newer car as well.
As for the Kia Seltos, it is a good SUV, but it belongs to a higher segment and will stretch well beyond your โน12-13 lakh budget in comparable variants.
