Hyundai Petrol Automatic Cars in India (7)

I am looking for a replacement for my Ford EcoSport petrol automatic Titanium+ and am planning to upgrade to a higher segment. This would be my last car purchase, as I am approaching 70, so reliability is my foremost concern. The car will be self-driven and should be petrol and automatic, as I am based in NCR. I prefer a torque-converter (TC) automatic and would also consider a CVT, but I do not want a DSG, DCT, DCA, or AMT. The car should also be reliable and capable on the hills of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, where I drive 3-4 times a year. My budget is Rs. 18-19 lakh, and stretching beyond this would not be possible. I would really appreciate your informed opinion and advice on which car would best suit my requirements. Thank you.

I am considering the Hyundai Venue petrol automatic. I drove the naturally aspirated (NA) petrol version, but found it underpowered. I want a punchier engine, so I am thinking of choosing the turbo-petrol variant. Which transmission should I consider, automatic or manual? I have heard that automatic transmissions can develop issues after a few years. Is it safe to take the automatic variant to hilly areas? Also, does it face any issues while overtaking on highways? Since I have no budget constraints, which variant would be the best suited for me?

Hi Team, I am planning to purchase my first family car and would appreciate some expert advice from the community. Initially, I explored the sub-4-meter SUV segment with a budget of around ₹15 lakh. While these vehicles offer good features and value for money, I felt they lacked the cabin and rear-seat space required for comfortable family use. Since I primarily drive in city traffic, an automatic transmission is a must-have. Based on my requirements, I have now shifted my focus to the compact SUV segment. Within my budget of approximately ₹19–20 lakh, the two vehicles that stand out are the **Hyundai Creta S(O) iVT (Summer Edition)** and the **Kia Seltos HTK(O) iVT**, both with naturally aspirated petrol engines. However, I am now in a dilemma because the Creta facelift is expected to launch soon. I am unsure whether I should proceed with the current **Creta S(O) iVT Summer Edition**, choose the **new Seltos HTK(O) iVT**, or wait for the upcoming Creta facelift. My priorities are: * Family comfort and rear-seat space * Automatic transmission * Long-term reliability * Safety * Ride quality and comfort * Good feature set and overall value for money I would be grateful for your suggestions on which option would be the better choice and the reasons behind your recommendation. If you own either of these vehicles, I would especially appreciate hearing about your real-world ownership experience.

I'm a Female, 5'1", small built, currently drive a Venue (Turbo) automatic, and a Wagon R. I'm looking for a mid size Petrol SUV, 1.5 L turbo, automatic for highway drives, safety (gncap) being my first priority (will retain venue for city driving). Some days I tend to drive 4-5 hrs without a break on Highways. 20-21L on road is my budget. ADAS 2, ambient lighting, illuminated buttons, hill assist, a great music system and seat and seatbelt height adjustments are a must too apart from all other features that I've got in my Venue. (My amazing Venue has never failed me, even in steep hilly terrains of HP and Uttarakhand or dry, scorching highways of Haryana, UP, 200-250 km nonstop with absolutely no engine heating, and that's what I expect from my new car too- never get me stranded ever; ) Love Harrier, hate tata dealerships; love xuv 7xo, hate Mahindra; Love Victoris, hate its rear styling; At present I'm left with Taigun, Seltos and Creta. Is there any SUV that fits my requirements? Thank you. P.S (some other cars I've driven long term are Indica, Indigo XL, Fiat Palio, Ford Figo, Grand Vitara 2010 (imported) etc.) No.of passengers-3- all small built.)
