Hello Autocar India!! I am planning to purchase a Hyundai Venue Automatic, but I am confused between the diesel and petrol options. In mixed conditions, my monthly running will be under 1,000km. My focus is on fuel efficiency and long-term maintenance costs. I have chosen diesel, but would appreciate your opinion.
If you have the budget for the Hyundai Venue diesel AT, then you should go for it, as its relatively high sticker price is the biggest roadblock here, given your usage. Yes, given your light usage, a petrol might sound like it makes more sense, and in most cases it would.
However, while Hyundai's 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is a nice option, it isn't offered with an automatic in the Venue. And while the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol is punchy and exciting, it's not particularly smooth or fuel efficient, and could prove more expensive to maintain should something go wrong.
The diesel with its torque converter automatic, though not particularly exciting, is actually the best all-rounder in the Venue model range, and thus, budget permitting, is the one you should go for.

I am interested in buying the Hyundai Verna petrol version under a Rs 20 lakh budget. I am also looking for a loan to buy the car. I have a family of 6. Please suggest the best variant.
The Hyundai Verna is a great car, but for a family of six, it is not advisable to buy a five-seater. A safer option would be a six or seven-seater, even if you have small children, as they are the most vulnerable in the event of an accident. It is always best to seat them in child seats or individual seats, if they are tall enough.
Within your budget, you can consider the Kia Carens Clavis HTK+ Turbo Petrol with the DCT transmission. It is a well-equipped car with a good mix of premium and essential features. It is also comfortable across all three rows, and the ride quality is pliant and comfortable.
Another premium option within your budget is the Hyundai Alcazar. While its third row is not as comfortable as the Clavis’s, it feels easier to drive in traffic due to its slightly smaller dimensions and is powered by the same turbo petrol engine.
However, within your budget, you will only get the Prestige manual variant. The DCT automatic will push the price slightly over Rs 21 lakh.

I currently own a 5-year-old BS6 EcoSport diesel (earlier had a BS4 EcoSport diesel for 6 years). I now want to change my car but am unsure which one to buy. I am based in Delhi and drive around 9,000km per year, mostly in the city, with 3-4 highway trips annually. Budget: ₹17-19 lakh. Priorities: driving experience, double-digit real-world mileage, and overall product value. Test drives done: Creta, Elevate, Seltos petrol (NA) - did not feel very impressive. I am inclined towards the Alcazar, Creta Turbo, and XUV700, but I am open to suggestions.
Out of the cars you have shortlisted, all use turbo petrol engines, and achieving double-digit fuel efficiency in a congested city like Delhi will be difficult. Your best bet for good and consistent efficiency is to opt for a naturally aspirated petrol engine.
That said, whether you choose a naturally aspirated or turbo petrol, we would suggest going for the new Kia Seltos. It shares its engine options with the Creta and Alcazar, including both the 1.5 litre NA petrol and the 1.5 litre turbo petrol. Being the newer generation car, the Seltos is larger than the Creta, more spacious, better equipped, and also offers a bigger boot.
Between the Seltos and the Alcazar, choose the Hyundai Alcazar if you want the captain seat option, the ability to seat more than five people, and a larger boot with the third row folded.
We would not recommend the Mahindra XUV700, now called the XUV 7XO, for your usage. Within your budget, you would only get the lower variants, which are not as well-equipped as the others.
More importantly, fuel efficiency could be a concern. While the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivers effortless performance, achieving double-digit mileage figures, even on the highway, would require very gentle driving.

I want to purchase a new car. My monthly running is approximately 1,500km, generally from Gurugram to Delhi. I am confused between the Creta petrol and the Hyryder smart hybrid. Which one should I consider?
Between the two cars, the Hyundai Creta is a good choice. It feels more premium on the inside, is more spacious, and gets a more capable 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which works very well in stop-and-go traffic. If you opt for the CVT variant, it is silky smooth and proves to be an excellent city companion.
If you are considering the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and your budget allows, we would strongly suggest going for the strong hybrid instead of the standard version. Not only is it easier to drive in traffic, as it runs on the electric motor for a large part of the time, but it is also extremely fuel-efficient.
This is especially important given that you will be driving close to 20,000 km a year. In real-world conditions, where you might see around 10 kpl in Gurgaon Delhi traffic in a petrol SUV, the Hyryder Hybrid can realistically deliver over 20 kpl, resulting in significant savings over time.

I have booked a new Venue 2025 HX8T in Dec ’25. The waiting time during booking was 45 days. I have completed 65 days, and I am now being asked to wait till Mar ’26. Is there an issue with Venue Turbo production?
The Hyundai Venue Turbo is a popular model, and the waiting period for it is on the higher side. The delay in delivery could be due to a shortage of the specific variant you have booked.
However, we recommend checking with the dealership for the exact reason for the delay. If you are not satisfied with the response, you can ask for a refund and consider other options.

I have narrowed my options down to the Honda Elevate CVT and the Creta CVT. While driving comfort seems slightly better in the Creta, which one should I choose considering reliability, long-term maintenance, and efficiency?
While the Honda Elevate CVT has its strengths, the Hyundai Creta IVT is a more rounded product. It's got the significantly nicer gearbox with less of the rubberband effect (sharp rise in revs without a corresponding rise in road speed) than the Elevate. The Creta also scores with better overall refinement, a roomier cabin and more features.
Neither model will cause trouble in terms of reliability and long-term maintenance. Efficiency, however, is a function of driving style. Drive with a light foot, and you can expect decent fuel economy figures (10kpl in the city, 13-15kpl on the highway are typical numbers), but aggressive driving will have the SUVs deliver much lower figures.

Hi, I am planning to buy my first automatic car. It will be used mostly within Bangalore city, and occasionally, I will drive to my native place. Could you please suggest a good family car within a budget of Rs 10 lakh?
As your first car, we recommend the Hyundai i20 petrol-IVT for its smooth and refined powertrain. The interiors feel upmarket, and it is spacious and comfortable too. The Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT variant should fall within your budget, and despite being a mid-variant, it covers the basics well.
If you want a crossover-like option, you could opt for the Maruti Suzuki Fronx or Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor with the 1.2 petrol-AMT combination. Do keep in mind that it is likely to be more fuel-efficient than the Hyundai; the drive experience won't be as smooth or seamless.

I already have a 2019 Seltos petrol manual. Recently, I got a job, and my workplace is 45km away from my home, so it is a 90km daily drive. This long commute is taking a toll on my pocket, as I hardly get decent mileage. Moreover, pressing the clutch and brake in traffic during my return journey is frustrating and tiresome. Should I install CNG in my car, or should I sell it and buy a new one? If so, which one?
In our opinion, you should avoid retrofitting CNG to your around 7-year-old Seltos. Instead, it makes more sense to sell it and move to a newer car that is more efficient and easier on the pocket.
If you can set up home charging, an EV makes a lot of sense. It will significantly cut down your travel expenses, and, being an electric car, there is no hassle of changing gears. EVs are smooth and extremely easy to drive, which can greatly reduce daily driving stress.
Since you already own a Kia Seltos and would prefer something familiar, we would suggest considering the Hyundai Creta Electric. It is a very well-rounded product, and the calibration of the electric motor is spot on, making it extremely smooth and easy to drive. It also offers a single pedal regenerative braking mode that works beautifully, and once you get used to it, you will rarely need to use the brake pedal, reducing fatigue even further. Considering your running, we would recommend the larger 52 kWh battery pack, which should deliver over 350 km on a single charge, making it practical for your usage.
There are other, on-paper, more impressive EVs at this price point, such as the Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra BE 6. However, if you are looking for a car that is easy to drive, hassle-free and easy to live with, the Creta EV is a very strong choice.
If you prefer to stick with an internal combustion engine but want lower running costs, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Victoris Hybrid. It runs in EV mode a lot of the time at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic, making it very smooth and easy to drive. Being a strong hybrid, it is also extremely efficient, and even in the worst traffic conditions, you can safely expect over 20 kpl. Since it is still an ICE vehicle, occasional long highway trips don’t require planning, unlike an EV. What you will need to plan, however, is luggage, as the hybrid battery under the boot floor does eat into usable boot space.
If you are willing to wait, the new Renault Duster is expected to get a hybrid powertrain around Diwali, and the next-generation Creta and Seltos are also expected to receive hybrid options early next year.

I’m planning to buy an automatic car for my parents, and I’m really confused between the Hyundai i20 and the Honda Amaze. The car will be used in city traffic, so comfort, ease of driving, and reliability are very important to me. Which one do you think would suit elderly drivers better and be easier to live with in the long run?
The Honda Amaze is a no-nonsense, user-friendly compact sedan, with a smooth and responsive 1.2-petrol-CVT combination. Its large 416-litre boot gives it an advantage over the i20.
The Hyundai i20, on the other hand, feels distinctly more premium in terms of interior quality, as well as the equipment list. The i20's power delivery feels lazier than the Amaze's; however, it is much more refined in comparison. Moreover, the Hyundai also has broader, more supportive seats. Hence, for your parents, we'd recommend the i20 IVT for the more polished user experience it delivers.
That said, Honda and Hyundai are known for their service support and reliability, hence your ownership experience is likely to be trouble-free by opting for either of these two cars.

Hi, I am interested in buying a car and am considering the Hyundai Venue or the Creta. First of all, which one should I choose and why? Also, which variant of both models would be the best to buy? My mandatory requirements are: Projector LED headlamps Sunroof Petrol engine Manual transmission My monthly driving is approximately 1,500 km within the city and around 2,000 km on highways.
While there is some price overlap between petrol versions of the Hyundai Venue and Hyundai Creta, both SUVs are essentially very different and cater to different requirements.
Without knowing your exact budget, we'll have to assume that you are willing to spend on the highest-spec Hyundai Venue petrol on offer. The version in question is the turbo-petrol with a manual gearbox in HX8 trim that costs Rs 13.85 lakh (on-road). This model packs in an LED headlamp and a single-pane sunroof, among many other features that are missing on a similar-priced Creta EX(O).
The list includes auto climate control, reverse camera, leatherette upholstery and more. The Venue's turbo-petrol engine has nice punch, which you will appreciate, especially on highway drives.
The Creta EX(O) (Rs 14.5 lakh on-road) misses many features but does entice with its panoramic sunroof. The Creta is also the larger car and makes more sense if you will be travelling often with more people. The Creta's 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers reasonable performance but doesn't have the punch of the Venue Turbo.
If the extra space isn't essential to you, the Venue is the one we'd recommend for you. However, given your usage, you should also consider the Venue diesel, which makes for a more efficient option.
