Trending Questions on Hyundai Creta - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: MKDon Dec 23, 2025

I am looking for a reliable car under ₹16 lakh (on-road) for long-term use (10 to 12 years). My monthly running is 2000 km, primarily on highways. Which car should I go for?

The Honda Elevate will fit your requirements well. It should prove to be reliable and dependable in the long run, and within your budget, you can opt for the VX variant, which comes fairly well-equipped. This Honda car also gets features, like a single-pane sunroof, wireless charger, 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels, and more.
Another safe option is the Hyundai Creta. Even in the EX(O) variant, it offers a panoramic sunroof, but it does miss out on a few features compared to the Elevate.

Hi team, I really enjoy the Autocar weekly podcast; it’s very entertaining. Wanted to check on my new car purchase. I previously owned an Altroz DCA but sold it as it was ergonomically unsuitable for my height of 6 feet and wider build. I am now looking for a new car in the ₹15 to 20 lakh range, preferably an SUV, with a focus on safety, reliability, and ease of driving for city use and occasional highway runs. My daily city driving is around 70 km. Is there a manual that is light and easy to use, or should I opt for an automatic?

Thank you for your kind words on the Autocar Deep Drive Podcast!
Given your requirements, we'd recommend the Hyundai Creta IVT or the new Kia Seltos IVT. Their CVT gearbox (IVT as the carmakers' brand them) is very smooth and works really well with the 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine. Both models are known for their reliability and are easy to drive. Of the two, the Kia Seltos is newer (prices will be announced on January 2) and has its advantages in a roomier cabin, a more comfortable ride, and a few more features. 
Among the manual gearbox options, models from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, and Toyota have light clutches and easy-to-shift manual gearboxes. Even so, the experience won't be as convenient as a good automatic transmission.

Asked by: Nishanton Dec 22, 2025

I have always loved the driving dynamics and comfort of sedans and want to buy a new one with a budget of around ₹20 lakh. In India, there are very few sedan options that offer both ADAS and a 360-degree camera. Should I consider an SUV instead? If yes, which one?

If you are looking for a sedan, the Hyundai Verna is a good option. It is spacious, comfortable, and has a good ride quality. The 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine is punchy, and it comes with Level 2 ADAS features. However, it does not have a 360-degree parking camera.
If you are open to an SUV, the Hyundai Creta Turbo-DCT would be a good option. It has the same powertrain as the Verna but comes with the added practicality of an SUV, and it also gets a 360-degree camera and ADAS features.

I currently own a 2018 Jeep Compass 2.0 diesel manual. I am now looking for a comfortable petrol or hybrid automatic SUV that can match the driving dynamics of the Compass. I drive around 30 km daily in the city and love driving. Please suggest suitable options.

If you are looking for a petrol or hybrid automatic SUV that is as engaging to drive as your Jeep Compass, you will have to compromise on the comfort front.
The only SUVs that are comparable to the Compass in terms of driving pleasure are the Skoda Kushaq and the Volkswagen Taigun, but they aren't as big or as comfortable as the Compass. The Skoda Kushaq is due for an update very soon, while the Volkswagen Taigun can be had in a 1.5 turbo-petrol-manual combination, unlike the Skoda.
If you are willing to compromise on the driving pleasure front, the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos are the most comfortable options in the segment.

Asked by: Deepaon Dec 20, 2025

I want to buy an automatic car with a budget of ₹10-15 lakh, mostly for city use and occasional highway driving. Please suggest.

For mostly city use with occasional highway drives, we would recommend you pick a car with a petrol engine. 

The Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos with the 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine and CVT automatic gearbox are the best options in this budget. 

Both SUVs are identical under the skin, so you should pick the one you like the look of more. They also have different interiors and slight feature differences. Both are also spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the petrol-CVT combination is refined and smooth.

Asked by: Sudipta Ghoshon Dec 20, 2025

I drive my car myself and average about 30 km of city driving per day. I am confused between choosing a petrol or a hybrid car (excluding EVs and diesel). Which automatic car should I consider within a ₹25 lakh budget? I am open to either a sedan or an SUV.

With your kind of usage, a petrol automatic makes more sense; the higher upfront cost of a hybrid will offset any fuel efficiency benefit. In this budget, we recommend you go with the tried and tested Hyundai Creta Turbo DCT. It gives a mileage of around 12kph in the city, and around 15kph on highways. It is spacious and comfortable, and the ride quality is good for Indian city conditions.

Asked by: Shravan Tallamon Dec 20, 2025

I have been driving a Santro for 24 years, and it is still running well. I now plan to change to a 1.5-litre car, either a sedan or an SUV. I am considering the Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid Alpha Plus, Honda Elevate ZX, and Creta SX. My usage will be daily solo driving and 2–3 long drives with my family of five. Comfort with family on long trips is a priority, and low running cost and maintainability are important for daily use. Above all, good looks matter. Please suggest the best choice among these.

According to your requirement and among the options you have selected, we would suggest you to go for the Hyundai Creta SX. It scores well above the other options because of the space that it offers. 

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara's second row is good for 2, and a squeeze for 3. Honda Elevate's central console protrudes prominently in the second row, compromising rear passenger space.

The Hyundai Creta looks good, is feature-rich, and delivers a comfortable experience for family use, both in city driving and on long journeys. You are familiar with Hyundai’s ecosystem, adding to the ease of ownership.

Asked by: Pareshon Dec 19, 2025

I am planning to buy a new car but am not sure whether I should go for an EV or a petrol model, as my average monthly running per month is about 1000 km. I have almost finalized the Mahindra BE6, but I have concerns about the rear seat headroom and its stiff suspension. Then I considered the XEV 9S, but I am still unable to conclude and make a final decision. Should I consider other petrol or diesel options like the XUV700, Harrier, Creta, Seltos, or Taigun instead - please advise?

If you can install a home charger at your residence, then an EV is a good option for city driving. 

For just 1000km a month, you won’t really save much by way of running costs, but that’s not the only way to look at an EV. It’s a far smoother, nicer driving experience, and EVs make driving much easier. 

Yes, the Mahindra BE 6 has serious design flaws, and the lack of headroom at the rear is a big one. We would advise you to go for the Mahindra XEV 9S instead. If you can’t have home charging, then it's best to look at an ICE vehicle, in which case the Hyundai Creta 1.5 CVT auto is your safest choice.

Asked by: Dinesh Gambhiron Dec 18, 2025

I am a senior citizen above 70 years of age and am looking to change my car. After driving sedans for more than 20 years, I am finding it difficult to choose a new one, as the market is full of SUVs. I do not like high cars, as they feel like mini trucks to me. My monthly city driving is between 500 and 1,000km, with no highway usage. My budget is ₹16 to 18 lakh. Please advise.

If you are not keen on an SUV and want to buy a sedan, we would suggest waiting. All four sedans currently on sale, the Honda City, Hyundai Verna, Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia, are due for updates soon.
If you cannot wait and considering you already own a 2012 Verna, the current Verna is a sensible choice. It is a well rounded product with a smooth petrol engine, good space, a comfortable ride and premium interiors. The Hyundai Verna also offers strong value for money, and within your budget, you can get the top SX(O) petrol CVT, which comes loaded with premium features.
If you want a sedan that is slightly taller and easier to get in and out of, the Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia make sense. Their higher ground clearance makes them more practical for Indian road conditions, and the higher seating position improves ease of access.
However, if you are open to the idea of an SUV and want a safe, proven option, you can consider the Hyundai Creta. It is a strong all rounder with a smooth and refined 1.5 litre petrol engine, comfortable ride quality and a spacious, practical cabin.

Asked by: Suresh Jadhavon Dec 18, 2025

I am with the Maharashtra police and currently own an old Scorpio. Can I buy the new Hyundai Creta? Please suggest.

Yes, the new Hyundai Creta is definitely something you can buy. It’s the default choice in the mid-size SUV segment and a tried-and-tested product.
However, this Hyundai car doesn’t have the same authority or toughness as a Scorpio, which most police officers appreciate, but it's more user-friendly and easier to live with.
