Seltos vs Creta: DCT or MT?
Last Updated on: 12 Oct 2026
Hyundai Creta specifications
Hyundai Creta specifications include 3 engine options, 4 transmission choices, and a comprehensive safety kit.
6 airbags and ABS with EBD, standard on every Creta
Top trims add auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist
That is the short version of the Hyundai Creta features and specification. Below, we cover size,
engine, and top speed.
Autocar's assessment: this is one of the most complete specification sheets in the segment, three engines, four gearbox options, and safety equipment that many rivals reserve for higher trims.
Hyundai Creta highlights
Hyundai Creta key specifications
Hyundai Creta dimensions and size:
Length: 4,330mm, one of the longest in its class
Width: 1,790mm, giving it a wide, stable stance
Height: 1,635mm, good for an upright driving position
Wheelbase: 2,610mm
Ground clearance: 190mm, enough to clear speed breakers with ease
Boot space: 433 litres, enough for a family's luggage
Seating capacity: 5 seats (the Creta has never had a third row; for that, look at the Alcazar)
The length of the Hyundai Creta, its width, and its height together give it a bigger, roomier feel than most rivals in its class.
Tyre size changes by trim:
Base variants: 205/65 R16
Mid variants: 215/60 R17
Top variants, SX and SX(O): 215/55 R18 on alloy wheels
The Hyundai Creta's tyre specification shift matters on the road too. Bigger 18-inch wheels on top trims grip better in corners but ride a little stiffer than the smaller wheels lower down the range.
At Autocar, we find cabin space matches the on-paper numbers, with rear legroom standing out as a genuine strength. Our recommendation: opt for the 16 or 17-inch wheels on poor road surfaces, as ride comfort holds up noticeably better than on the 18-inch alloys.
Mileage 17.4 kmpl - 21.8 kmpl | Engine 1482 cc - 1497 cc |

Hyundai Creta specifications
Hyundai Creta petrol specification:
1.5L petrol: 115 PS, 144 Nm, manual or CVT automatic
1.5L turbo petrol: 160 PS, 253 Nm, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic only
Hyundai Creta diesel specification:
1.5L diesel: 116 PS, 250 Nm, manual or torque-converter automatic
Independent tests put the turbo-petrol at around 190 to 195 kmph, with the diesel and regular petrol a bit slower. On Indian roads, the more useful number is how calm the Creta feels cruising at 100 to 120 kmph, and all three engines handle that with ease.
In our assessment, the diesel remains the stronger choice for high-mileage drivers, given its strong low-end pull. For city driving, the naturally aspirated petrol with CVT offers the more relaxed daily experience, while the turbo-petrol DCT suits those seeking stronger performance.

Questions you may find useful
I am planning to purchase a new SUV for my family and would appreciate your expert recommendation. I am currently considering the Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV 3XO and Kia Sonet. My usage will primarily involve family trips, weekend drives, vacations and outstation or highway travel, as I do not use the vehicle for daily office commuting. Family comfort, safety and long-term reliability are my key priorities. I am particularly looking for a vehicle with low maintenance and service costs, good after-sales support and a strong service network, especially in Bengaluru, along with comfortable seating for four to five family members on long drives, good safety ratings and build quality, decent highway fuel efficiency, and strong resale value after five to seven years of ownership. Based on these requirements, could you please recommend the most suitable model and explain why, suggest the variant that offers the best value for money, highlight any common issues or ownership concerns I should be aware of, and provide your top three recommendations ranked in order of suitability for my needs?
For your usage, the Hyundai Creta is the best overall fit. Since the car will primarily be used for family trips and long-distance travel rather than daily commuting, its spacious cabin, comfortable ride, refined engine, and mature highway manners make it better suited than the smaller SUVs on your list. It also has a well-established service network in Bengaluru and a long ownership history in India.The Skoda Kushaq would be the second choice if driving enjoyment and highway dynamics are more important. It has excellent ride and handling and a strong 1.0 TSI, but the rear seat is not as accommodating for three adults. The Kylaq is similarly enjoyable to drive and has a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, but its rear seat is better suited to two adults, making it less ideal for regular family road trips.The Mahindra XUV 3XO is worth considering if you want maximum features, strong performance and excellent safety, but its 295-litre boot is a significant limitation for holiday trips with four or five people and luggage.
I am planning to buy my first car under/around 20 Lakhs on road in Pune. Looking for a SAFE, comfortable, reliable car offering good space and practicality. Use - Family of 4 (sometimes 5), mostly Pune city use (70-30), hardly 500 KM running monthly, yearly 3-4 trips outside Pune and even Maharashtra. Shall I wait for Honda Elevate Facelift, Creta Facelift and Mahindra Vision S?
Hi Team, I am currently driving a 2016 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and am planning to upgrade to an SUV. I have shortlisted the Mahindra XUV 7XO Petrol MT and the Hyundai Creta Petrol MT. My daily running is around 15-25 km. My top priorities are a 5-star safety rating, good ride comfort, and easy drivability in the city. Could you please compare these two models based on my usage and suggest which one would be the better choice? Also, which engine and transmission combination would you recommend for my requirements?
Based on your priorities, the Mahindra XUV 7XO Petrol MT is the better fit. The XUV 7XO is a larger, more substantial SUV with a stronger safety focus, a 5-star safety rating and a more premium feel than the Creta. This Mahindra car is also a more recent product and feels more modern overall. The petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the manual gearbox is easy to use in city conditions. The Creta is still a very good car, but it is not as spacious or as premium-feeling as the XUV 7XO. The only drawback of the XUV 7XO is that it is a larger car and may not be as easy to manoeuvre in tight city spaces, but overall it is the better choice for your requirements.
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.)
