The Hyundai Creta with its wet clutch DCT is expected to perform slightly better than the Volkswagen DSG. Both have improved over time, reducing previous concerns about DCT/DSG issues.

I would suggest the XC 60 as it is the best and worth for money in the segment according to me.

Creta would be a right choice, but at the wrong time. Within months, the new facelift is coming which would make the current version old.

Better go with the new Creta 1.5 CRDI AT.

I had issues with the Creta being lightweight and poor body work.

I sold my Amaze and purchased a Creta, realizing my mistake. Hyundai and Kia vehicles have many gimmicky features.

The Creta is a better option because it is more reliable, refined, premium, and spacious.

I have a Hyundai Creta SX. It's good for family and comfort, and fits my budget of Rs. 15-16 Lakh.

I am looking to buy a new car, preferably an EV or a strong hybrid, mainly for my daily office commute. My monthly running is around 600–700 km, and I rarely take my own car on outstation trips, as I usually prefer to hire a cab or a chauffeur-driven vehicle for long journeys. I currently drive a Maruti Wagon R CNG and want to upgrade to an automatic car for a more premium, comfortable experience. My budget can stretch up to around ₹22-25 lakh, and my main priorities are: Hassle-free long-term ownership for the next 8–10 years Reliability and low maintenance Comfortable automatic driving experience Practical and sensible design without unnecessary gimmicks or flashy features Good efficiency and peace of mind

Pick the strong-hybrid variants of the Maruti Grand Vitara, Victoris or Toyota Hyryder. The hybrid powertrain is very efficient; it is an automatic, and Toyota’s hybrid tech has a proven track record worldwide, so keeping it for 8-10 years should be stress-free.Since you don't drive out of the station at all, you could also consider the Hyundai Creta Electric with a 42kWh battery. For your daily office commute, it is a smooth, reliable option.

Hi, I recently moved back to India and am planning to buy an EV as my primary and only car. My budget is around ₹25 lakh, and I am looking for a proper 5-seater that will mainly be used for city driving of around 15-20 km daily, along with occasional road trips. For the past six years, I have been driving Tesla models - first the Model 3 and later the Model Y - so I would ideally like to continue using an EV in India as well. However, I am still unsure about the practicality of the charging infrastructure here. I will be staying in a rented apartment near Outer Ring Road, Bellandur, Bengaluru. I have been informed that the residential community, which has around 2,000 apartments, currently has about 6-8 charging points, and the connected mall also has a few additional chargers. Could you please advise: Whether owning an EV as the only car in Bengaluru currently makes practical sense How reliable is the charging infrastructure in Bengaluru and across India for road trips Which EVs around ₹25 lakh would best suit my requirements in terms of comfort, technology, driving experience, reliability, range, and overall ownership experience Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Before committing to an EV, it is advisable to speak to electric car owners in the complex to know about the ease of charging. Public chargers in easy access are a plus, but the ideal and often most reliable solution is a charger in your own parking. Many housing complexes do not allow this, making it all the more important to research public charging options in the vicinity. In general, Bengaluru does have a wide network of chargers, so a weekly plug-in shouldn't be a hassle. Further, major highways south and west of the city have regular fast chargers, so planned roadtrips are very workable.Of the cars, the Hyundai Creta Electric is a sensible buy for your usage. It's a good size for Bangalore's traffic yet offers comfortable seating for five passengers. It won't match your Tesla's wow factor, but the Creta does pack in all the features that you would need and use over your short commutes. You can buy the 51.4kWh battery pack version, which offers ample range for your city drives. If you'd prefer a larger vehicle with more interior space, options include the Mahindra XEV 9S (the 70kWh battery pack is a good pick but just out of your budget) and the Tata Harrier EV with the 65kWh battery pack.

I am planning to buy an electric vehicle with a budget of around ₹20 lakh. My usage will mainly be within Mumbai city, with occasional long-distance trips as well. Could you please suggest the best EV options?

There are quite a few EV options within your budget, but the Hyundai Creta Electric stands out as the most complete and fuss-free option. It offers the same space, practicality and user-friendly experience as the ICE Creta with the refinement and power of an electric powertrain. The Creta Electric is available in two battery pack options - the base 42kWh battery pack will serve you well for Mumbai city commutes. However, you'd do well to extend your budget and go for the larger 51.4kWh version. The added outlay will get you more range, which would give you greater peace of mind on outstation trips. Alternatives to the Creta EV include the Maruti Suzuki eVitara and Vinfast VF6, but neither feels as wholesome as the Hyundai.

I need advice regarding my next car purchase. I am currently using a 2019 Innova and now want to buy an EV. My budget is under ₹20 lakh, and I prefer a car without a sunroof.

Go for the Hyundai Creta Electric Executive. Being an entry-level variant, it doesn't get a sunroof, but it packs all the other basics. Additionally, it gets a small 42kWh battery, which Hyundai claims will travel 420km; but you can easily expect 250-300km in the real world. So if you have a limited, fixed run as well as home charging provision, the Creta Electric is smooth, spacious and a sensible buy.The Kia Carens Clavis EV is another excellent option worth considering - it has the same electric powertrain as the Creta Electric, and it also gives you the flexibility of three-row seating.

I drive around 200 km every day, mostly in the city. I am looking to buy an electric car with a budget of ₹20 lakh. I use fast charging regularly and only occasionally use a 7.4 kW home charger. I need a car that performs well in city traffic with the AC running and offers good overall comfort and efficiency.

We would recommend the MG Windsor. Within your budget, you should be able to get the top variant with all the features, along with the larger 52kWh battery pack. This battery should comfortably handle your daily 200km city commute with the AC running. In real-world conditions, the Windsor offers a range of well over 300km on a full charge. The car is comfortable and easy to drive; however, with most of the controls, like even outside rear view mirror adjustment located within the touchscreen, it's not a user-friendly experience. That aside, the space is plenty, and the ride is comfortable enough over bad city roads. As an option, you could consider the Hyundai Creta EV. At around Rs 20 lakh, you would be able to buy the base variant. While you will miss out on some features, you will still get a car that is very easy to drive. It has light controls, a well-tuned suspension, and a smoothly calibrated powertrain.
