Trending Questions on Hyundai Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am planning to buy a second car purely for city driving. It will be driven approximately 700 km per month. My criteria are that it should be automatic and within a budget of around ₹10 lakh. I have shortlisted the Hyundai i20 Sportz (O) iVT and Honda Amaze VX CVT. I have excluded AMT gearboxes due to their jerky driving experience. Can you help me choose a suitable car for my needs? Also, please suggest any other options that I may have overlooked.
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.
My running is approximately 5,000 km per year, entirely within the city. Should I go for an EV or an automatic petrol car in the ₹20-25 lakh price range? I am considering an EV mainly for tax savings (40% tax deduction), but I am unsure whether petrol would be better. Please guide me on what makes more sense financially, as well as from a maintenance perspective.
Hi, Need to upgrade from my 16 year old Ritz which served decent but started giving frequent issues post 12 years and 100000 kms. Prefer to have automatic so that my wife a new learner too can drive when needed, with decent space for 4 Adults and 1 kid during outstation trips with well aged parents. I'm around 40+ now. Ease for getting in n out is a must especially for aged parents. However 80% of the time it be used for lone commuting to office and back max 12kms or less one-way in mumbai traffic. Don't fancy features other than adjustable headrests even for rear, decent AC, basic music system... Don't think I use anything more. Ps we used to love seating of ritz found its angles and width apt for senior citizens. Budget around 8 onroad mumbai. Kindly suggest.
Unfortunately, at your budget of Rs 8 lakh on road, few cars will feel like a significant upgrade to your Maruti Ritz, even though it is 12 years old. This is also because you are looking for an automatic, and while you are happy with having only basic features in your car, the automatic gearbox is usually tied to mid- to high-level variants in most vehicles. However, here are some options, like the Hyundai Exter and the recently facelifted Tata Punch that should meet your needs within your budget. Both also use a tall-boy design which allows for easy ingress and egress, and the Punch has the added advantage of doors that open a full 90 degrees, helping further.
However, of the two, we would recommend the Hyundai Exter, as it is slightly wider in the rear seat, and also because it has the smoother and more efficient petrol engine with the smoother AMT gearbox of the two.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am buying my first car and am confused between the Hyundai Venue DCT and the Kia Seltos IVT. I have test-driven the Seltos IVT, but I have not been able to drive the Venue DCT as the dealer says a test-drive vehicle is not available. My usage will be around 80% city driving and 20% highway driving. My key requirements are decent mileage and good rear-seat comfort. I am also open to considering other cars that may be better than these two. Kindly suggest.
Both the Kia Seltos and the Hyundai Venue are good options and safe buys. But since you have the budget for the Kia Seltos IVT, we would suggest going for that. The four-cylinder 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine is more refined than the three-cylinder 1.0 turbo petrol on the Venue. The CVT (or IVT as Hyundai and Kia call it) is silky smooth and can actually end up giving you better fuel efficiency than the turbo petrol engine.
The Seltos is also more spacious and comfortable, and the interiors of the new Seltos feel premium with top drawer materials, too.
Other options you can explore or wait for include the brand new upcoming Duster, which was recently unveiled and is expected to launch in March 2026.
I am planning to buy a new petrol car for a family of 3 adults and 2 children. I am confused between the Hyundai Venue HX10, Tata Nexon Fearless Plus with ADAS, and Mahindra 3XO AX7L. I want fully loaded features. I live in a village, but the road conditions are good. Second-row comfort is my primary concern. Which is the best choice? Any other suggestions in the same segment?
