Trending Questions on Hyundai Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
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 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.
I’m looking for an automatic petrol vehicle in the sub-4-metre category. I’m confused between the new Hyundai Venue and the Kia Sonet. Could you please advise? Also, let me know if there are any other good options in this segment.
Being the newer of the two, the Hyundai Venue does have the edge overall. Rear legroom is better in the Venue, something the brand has improved with the new-gen car. The Venue also has the latest electrical and electronics, and so is capable of over-the-air updates to many of its control units, thereby ensuring bug fixes and functionality updates too.
My daily highway run is about 250 km (up and down). I currently drive a Honda Amaze/Aura CNG with 2.5 lakh km on the clock and want to change to an automatic, economical car that still gives an SUV-like feel. Which models should I consider?
Since your daily running is quite high and you already use a CNG vehicle, it makes sense to continue with the same fuel type. We recommend the Hyundai Exter CNG.
It comes with a dual CNG cylinder setup placed below the boot floor, so you still get a decent amount of luggage space. The Exter also gives you the SUV-like feel you’re looking for, thanks to its upright design and higher seating position.
Since you’ve kept your Aura for a long time, it’s clear you’re satisfied with the Hyundai ownership experience, making the Exter an ideal upgrade for you.
I’m planning to buy a new car with a budget of ₹13.5-14 lakh. I’ve shortlisted the Kia Sonet HTX Petrol Automatic, but with the launch of the new Hyundai Venue, I’m confused. We’re a family of three: my wife, my 10-year-old son, and I. My yearly usage is around 10,000 km, mostly city driving with occasional long drives once every two months. Comparing the features of Sonet HTX, a Venue with similar features seems pricey. Which one should I go for? I prefer an automatic car.
Is the Tata Curvv diesel a good option compared to the Mahindra XUV 3XO and Hyundai Venue? My budget is ₹15 lakh.
