Trending Questions on Hyundai Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking for a small automatic car with good mileage. The car will be used purely in the city, as I already own an XUV700. The only criteria are fuel efficiency and a good automatic gearbox. My budget is around Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).
I have been using a Ciaz Auto for the last 8 years. I want to upgrade to a mid-sized SUV. Which of the current options would you recommend? My driving is about 7,000-8,000 km per year, with a mix of both city and highway driving. My budget can go up to Rs 24 lakh, and I am thinking of opting for ADAS features to keep the car relevant and modern for the next 8-10 years.
I am buying a car for my mother. We need an automatic car mainly for city use, and long trips will be rare. I am considering the Exter S AMT, as its AMT is said to be better than others at this price point, and it also offers higher ground clearance. The other option is the i20 Magna CVT, which is around Rs 50 to 55K more expensive than the Exter S AMT variant. For bumper-to-bumper traffic and city driving, should I go for the i20 CVT, or is the Exter AMT smooth enough to stick with? Also, which transmission is more reliable in the long term?
I am confused between the Tata Nexon Creative DCA and the Kia Sonet HTX DCT. My daily commute is about 16 km, and I want a car that is easy to drive in heavy traffic, with a bi-monthly 800 km drive. Please advise which one I should choose.
Keeping in mind your 16km daily commute in heavy traffic and the occasional 800km highway run, we would recommend going for the Kia Sonet HTX DCT as it has the smoother gearbox of the two. It also feels more premium inside out, and except for rear space, which is just about enough, the Sonet does feel like a more rounded product than the Tata Nexon Creative DCA.
That said, if you are looking for more space, there are two other cars with the same engine and gearbox combo as the Sonet and those are the Kia Syros and the new Hyundai Venue. Both these cars are newer than the Sonet, which is due to be replaced in about a year with a brand new model. Both these cars are more spacious and have more features too.
Hi Autocar India! Iโm planning to buy a car and am deciding between the Mahindra 3XO AX5 and the Hyundai Venue HX5+. I live in Coimbatore and have a family of four. My driving is mostly city (90%) with some highway use (10%), about 300 km per month. Could you help me choose which car would suit my needs best in terms of city driving, comfort, fuel efficiency, and overall ownership?
If you are looking at a car purely from the city driving perspective, the Hyundai Venue HX5+ powered by the 1.2 litre naturally aspirated engine will do. It will also prove to be more efficient than the Mahindra 3XOโs 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine. But from the performance perspective, there is a huge gap here. The Mahindra 3XO in the AX5 variant will be much nicer to drive and will feel at home, be it in the city or on the highway. It is also wider, can seat five people in decent comfort and as compared to the HX5+ variant, it has more features too.
Considering you drive 90% of the time in the city, we would also recommend you to, go for an automatic transmission. It will be a lot easier to drive and reduce fatigue by a lot.
Another car you can consider is the Skoda Kylaq which again is a nice car to drive and is very well priced. You can get the Signature manual transmission variant in your budget or the newly launched Classic + variant if you are looking to buy an automatic.
I want to purchase a second car for my wife. I commute long distances daily, up to 120-130 km, 3-4 days a week. I am looking for a budget-friendly automatic suitable for both city and highway use. Which model would be suitable?
Hello, I have a family of three adults and one child, and we go on long drives about once a month. Apart from that, the car will be used mainly on weekends. Within a budget of around Rs 12-14 lakh, I am looking for a compact SUV with comfortable seating and driving experience, good boot space, and adequate ground clearance. It should also be a reliable vehicle with low maintenance costs.
I currently own a 2016 Ford Aspire and am now looking for an automatic crossover SUV. A smooth drive, reliability, and a premium-feeling cabin are my main requirements. I was considering the Victoris and Honda Elevate, but the Seltos HTK CVT now looks like a good value for money. My question is whether the CVT transmission and naturally aspirated petrol engine of the Seltos Petrol NA are equally reliable as those of Honda. I am specifically doubtful about Kiaโs CVT. Please advise.
Hi Team, we are a family of five planning to buy a new car with a maximum on-road budget of โน18 lakh. We are considering the 2026 Kia Seltos 1.5 NA petrol manual HTK (O), while a dealer has also offered the 2024 Hyundai Creta 1.5 NA petrol manual SX (O) at โน18.5 lakh on-road. Could you please advise on the realistic current market or best offer on-road price for the 2024 Creta SX (O), and help us choose between the Creta SX (O) and Seltos HTK (O) based on overall value, features, space, reliability, and running costs?
The 2024 Hyundai Creta SX (O) makes more sense. Both SUVs are mechanically identical and are powered by the same 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The 2026 Kia Seltos HTK (O) is also a good option, since it's a newer model and has slightly more interior space. But it is a lower variant and hence misses out on some features compared to the Creta SX (O). It includes dual-zone auto climate control, ambient lighting, 360-degree camera, auto-dimming IRVM, ventilated front seats and more.
I am planning to buy the Hyundai Venue HX10 petrol variant and want fully loaded features. I live in a village, but the road conditions are good. Is this a good choice, or is there a better option available?
