Trending Questions on Hyundai Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I've driven only 23,000 km in 9 years and use my car very little. I'm planning to upgrade to an automatic hatchback within a ₹15 lakh budget. I first considered the Swift and Altroz, but now I'm confused by the many options in this segment. Which automatic hatchback should I choose for reliability and low maintenance?
Given your requirements, you should choose between the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20. The Baleno comes with an efficient 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that's mated to a 5-speed AMT automatic. It has a spacious cabin, and being a Maruti car, it will be reliable and affordable to maintain. The i20, meanwhile, also comes with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, but that comes mated to a smoother CVT automatic gearbox. Do note, this Hyundai car can also be had with a punchy 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic in the i20 N Line.
I want to buy a car in the ₹18-25 lakh range and will run about 1,200 km/month. I’ve read about a lot of issues with Mahindra cars, so I want something reliable and not diesel. Which car should I consider?
The Hyundai Creta is a good fit given your budget and requirements. It is a well-packaged SUV that has the basics covered and offers everything you would need in a city SUV. It is safe, practical, easy to drive, and high on features as well. Given your budget, the top-spec version will comfortably fit in.
My budget for new car is 12-13 lakhs and I prefer smooth Automatic with daily 20 km running mostly in cities and occasionally Highway and Rural. Pls suggest value for money, low maintenance cost and fuel efficient car.
Since your usage is mainly in the city, with occasional highway and rural drives, a small SUV would suit you well. Your options include the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter and Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
The Tata cars stand out for their tough build and well-balanced ride, and handling. This becomes especially noticeable on the highways.
The Hyundai Exter, on the other hand, has lighter controls and a smoother AMT compared to the Punch. This makes it feel more at home in the city
The Maruti Fronx sits somewhere in the middle. It has the highest claimed fuel efficiency (22.89kpl for the 1.2 AMT). Plus, Maruti cars are typically the easiest to maintain and live with.
Hi, I’m looking for a compact diesel manual SUV. My priorities are comfort, driving pleasure, and good highway mileage. I drove the Tata Nexon (didn’t like the clutch), Mahindra XUV 3XO (felt the mileage was low), and Kia Sonet (ride felt hard). I’m waiting to test-drive the new Hyundai Venue. I’ll be driving mostly alone on highways. Which compact diesel manual SUV would you recommend and why?
The Mahindra 3XO is the better option for your requirement of comfort and driving pleasure. As for fuel efficiency, the difference between these cars is not large enough to be a deal breaker, so it should not be a concern. The Hyundai Venue is a comfortable car, but it will not be as enjoyable to drive as the Mahindra 3XO, though you can expect slightly better efficiency compared to the Mahindra.
We own a 2014 Hyundai i20 Elite purchased in 2016, and we've driven under 60,000 km in the last 9 years. Due to traffic in Bengaluru, we want to switch to an automatic SUV. Our budget is ₹15 lakh max. We are considering the Hyundai Venue, but are also confused about the Kia Carens Clavis, since it seems to fall in a similar price band, if I am not wrong. We are a family of 3 with a teenage child and want a long-term car. Kindly advise.
I need a compact city car - automatic, petrol or electric. I checked the Comet but found it overpriced and the seats uncomfortable. My budget is under ₹10 lakh, though I can stretch slightly. Which models should I consider?
If you are open to buying an electric vehicle, the Tata Tiago EV is a good option for city use. It's got a smooth powertrain and is much more practical than the MG Comet you also considered. There's also the option of the Tata Punch EV, though it is slightly out of your budget.
Among petrol automatic cars within your budget, the Hyundai i20 iVT and Citroen C3 AT have the smoothest automatic gearboxes. The Maruti Suzuki Swift AMT is also a good city car, though the AMT gearbox isn't as nice.
I am looking to buy an automatic or AMT car (on-road under ₹10 lakh) mainly for weekend trips with 2-4 people. I am interested in the Tata Punch, but I’m concerned about Tata’s after-sales service and reliability. What other options can I consider?
There are plenty of options available under Rs 10 lakh and in different body styles. Since you were considering a small SUV like the Tata Punch, you could also consider the Hyundai Exter, which also comes with an AMT automatic gearbox, a smooth 1.2-litre engine, plenty of features, and it should be easier to live with too. Read our full comparison review between the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter to get a more in-depth understanding.
If you prefer a sedan, go for the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, which comes with a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with an AMT auto gearbox, a comfy cabin and plenty of features. As for hatchbacks, the Hyundai i20 makes a good option as it comes with a smoother CVT automatic compared to the AMTs in the others.
I’m confused between the new Venue diesel and the Nexon CNG because of mileage. I also want good boot space, features, and safety. Suggest which variant or any other car to consider.
If your running is primarily in the city, a CNG might make more sense. The Tata Nexon CNG is a good choice, offering CNG flexibility with ample boot space thanks to its clever twin-cylinder layout.
I want to buy my first car for around ₹10 lakh. I will also be learning how to drive. Considering safety and long-term endurance, which car should I choose as my first one?
Considering your requirements of safety and long-term endurance, there are still a few options within the Rs 10 lakh price range. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire is a good option, which has received a 5-star crash test rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. It's also reliable and easy to drive, with an efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine. However, if you prefer an SUV-like body style, consider the Nissan Magnite, which has also received a 5-star Global NCAP rating. Its 1.0-litre petrol engine is not as smooth as Maruti's 1.2, but it should be reliable over time.
I want to buy an SUV with a naturally aspirated 1.2-litre engine and an upright seating position. Service and maintenance should be easy and inexpensive. My budget is ₹8-9 lakh, and I need the essential/basic features. Which SUV would you suggest?
Given your requirements, the Hyundai Exter would be a good choice for you. The Exter has a 1.2-litre petrol engine that can be had with either a 5-speed manual or AMT automatic gearbox. It has elevated seating, and it comes with plenty of features. It also fits within your budget, and being a Hyundai, it will be easy to maintain as well.
