Trending Questions on Hyundai Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am currently driving a Hyundai i10 Era 2012 model with 61k on the odometer. I am the first owner, and these days my monthly driving is a maximum of 400 km. Now I am planning to purchase a new car. I mostly drive with family in 80% of cases, with 4 adults and 1 child, along with a fully loaded boot. My priorities are safety, mileage, and a good infotainment system. I drive 70% on highways and 30% in the city. I am open to both sub-4 metre and above-4 metre cars, and I prefer an SUV. Which car is best?
My monthly running is 3,000 km. Which car should I opt for in the range of โน10-16 lakh? Usage is half city, half highway. Petrol, diesel or EV? Manual or automatic?
Hi Autocar Team, my budget is around โน10 lakh, and I am confused between the Hyundai Venue HX4 and the Hyundai i20 Sportz Optional, both in manual transmission. The Venueโs design feels more appealing to me, while the i20 offers more features. My usage will be around 60% in the city and 40% on highways. The car will be used mostly by my parents, and occasionally by my family and me when I am in Kolkata. Could you please advise which would be the better choice for my needs? Also, which of the two is safer in terms of overall safety?
For your requirement of a city-friendly car that will be used more by your parents, we would suggest going for the Hyundai Venue HX4 manual.
The biggest advantage of the Venue is its higher seating position, which makes getting in and out easier, especially for elderly users. It also offers better visibility in traffic, which makes city driving less stressful. With your usage being mostly in the city, this becomes a big advantage in daily use. The Venue also has higher ground clearance, which helps over speed breakers and rough patches.
The Hyundai i20 Sportz (O), on the other hand, is the better choice if your priority is features and a more premium cabin experience. It offers more equipment, but the lower seating position makes it slightly less convenient for older users.
In terms of safety, neither of these cars has been crash tested, so there is no direct comparison. However, the Venue is a newer car, and newer Hyundai models have shown better safety performance. On paper, both the i20 and Venue are quite similar, as they offer 6 airbags and other essential safety features as standard.
Hi Autocar, I am willing to purchase a Hyundai Venue HX 8 Petrol MT(Turbo) for city & occasional highway drive. I am a new driver having just got my license & this will be my 1st car. How is the car in terms of driving experience and safety? Is there any other option I should consider?
The Hyundai Venue Turbo MT HX8 is a good buy. The Venue is an easy-to-drive compact SUV that will put you at ease behind the wheel. Performance is good, and the manual gearbox is nice enough to use.
However, you should consider the Venue Turbo DCT, whose automatic transmission will add a great deal of convenience to your commutes. The Turbo DCT HX8 costs about Rs 1.2 lakh more than the Turbo MT HX8 and is worth the stretch if you don't mind spending more on your car.
In other aspects, the Venue comes across as a well-rounded package and is our pick among compact SUVs.
Which of the following is the best option, considering mainly city driving, daily 30km, once-a-month highway drives, and a family of four: Skoda Kylaq, Venue, Citroen Basalt, Maruti Jimny, and Kia Sonet.
I am looking to buy a new car and am considering the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX M, Hyundai Venue HX2, and the base variant of the Kia Seltos. My annual running is around 4,000 km, with 80% city driving. I am upgrading from a Hyundai Grand i10. My key requirements are low maintenance, a petrol manual transmission, a good infotainment system, and a car that looks and feels premium. Could you please suggest which of these options would be the best choice for my needs?
Considering your usage of just 4,000 km a year with 80% city driving, all three options will work, but the choice depends on what you value more.
If you want a proper upgrade in terms of space, feel and road presence, the Kia Seltos base variant stands out. It is a larger car, feels more premium and will be a noticeable step up from your Grand i10. Even though it is the base variant, it still gets the essentials, but the infotainment system is quite basic. This is something to keep in mind since that is one of your requirements.
The Hyundai Venue HX2 is the more balanced and easier choice. It is compact, easy to drive in the city and offers a good ownership experience with low maintenance. It also feels like a decent upgrade, though not as big a jump as the Seltos in terms of size and presence.
Hello Autocar Team, I am planning to buy an automatic car with an on-road budget of โน12 lakh in Coimbatore. Around 80% of my driving will be in the city, and this car will be driven by a new license holder. I would prefer to avoid AMT gearboxes and am looking for a car that offers good safety and a smooth driving experience. I am not interested in sedans. Could you please suggest the best options for my requirements?
For your requirements of a smooth, automatic, premium feel and ease of driving, we would first suggest considering the Hyundai i20 IVT. The CVT gearbox is very smooth, which makes it the easiest car to drive in city traffic, especially for a new driver. It also feels premium inside, well-equipped and well priced, making it a great first car. Hyundaiโs after-sales service and ease of maintenance are also strong positives.
That said, in terms of safety, the i20 scored a 3-star rating earlier, and the facelifted version hasnโt been tested yet, so that remains a bit of an unknown.
If 5-star safety is your top priority, then you can consider the Tata Altroz DCA. It has a strong build and better safety credentials. The ride quality is also more comfortable, and the car feels more stable on the highway.
However, the engine and gearbox are not as refined or as smooth as the Hyundai's, though it is still a better experience than an AMT.
I previously owned a Toyota Innova Crysta 2.8 AT, which I sold and replaced with a Hyundai Creta 1.5 turbo petrol about a year ago. The car has run around 10,000 km so far. However, I now feel that the Creta is not as comfortable as the Crysta, and I am reconsidering my decision. Should I sell the Creta and upgrade to another car? My budget is around โน27 lakh. Could you please advise whether upgrading again would be a sensible decision and suggest better alternatives in this price range?
The Hyundai Creta is actually a very good car and is very comfortable for the mid-size SUV segment, but when you compare it to something like the Innova Crysta, you are always going to feel a drop in comfort. The Crysta is a larger people mover, built primarily for comfort, whereas the Cretaโs strengths are being more compact, easier to drive and more feature-rich.
If comfort is your top priority, then it does make sense to go back to an Innova. In your budget, we would suggest looking at the Innova Hycross GX(O) automatic.
The Toyota Innova Hycross feels more car-like to drive compared to the Crysta, thanks to its monocoque construction. It has lighter steering, a smooth CVT gearbox and a comfortable ride, which makes it easier to use in the city as well. The naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth and responsive enough for both city and highway driving.
More importantly, there is a lot of space inside the cabin, and overall comfort is on another level compared to mid-size SUVs like the Creta. The GX(O) variant is not very feature-loaded, but it has all the essentials. Since your priority is comfort, that shouldnโt be a deal breaker.
I need a good, proper automatic car for a family with a max budget of 12 lakh (on-road). For 80-90% city and 10-20% highway usage. Looking for a good driving experience (ease of driving and good driving view), good safety, decent fuel efficiency (good if possible), reliability, good after-sales service and fuss-free ownership. Open for any car type, sub-4m, sedan, hatchback, etc.
Hello Autocar Team, I hope youโre doing well. Iโm planning to buy a new car within a budget of around โน15 lakh (on-road), and Iโve been quite confused between the Hyundai Venue and the Kia Syros, especially in the diesel automatic variants. To give you some context, Iโm based in Nagpur, and after-sales service is a big factor for me. I already own a few Hyundai cars in my family, and honestly, the experience with their service network has been smooth and reliable. Because of that, Iโm naturally inclined towards the Venue and feel a sense of trust there. That said, the Kia Syros has really caught my attention, mainly because of its interior design and overall cabin feel, which just seems more premium and modern, which is making the decision a bit difficult. However, there are a couple of things holding me back from the Syros. The headlight placement feels a bit too exposed and low, which makes me slightly concerned about it being prone to damage in daily city conditions. Also, Iโm still a bit unsure about the overall exterior design. It hasnโt fully grown on me yet compared to the more familiar and balanced look of the Venue. My usage will mostly be city driving with occasional highway runs, so Iโm looking for something thatโs comfortable, easy to drive in traffic, and not too stressful to maintain in the long run. Some of my key expectations are: Diesel automatic option, good real-world mileage, and reasonable running costs. Practical features like a 360-degree camera and genuinely useful driver assistance features (not just gimmicks). A smooth, lag-free infotainment system with a good UI, comfortable seating and ride quality for daily use. Iโm also slightly concerned about long-term ownership. Factors like service quality, parts availability, resale value, and overall peace of mind matter to me more than just initial impressions. From your experience and real-world testing, which of the two would you recommend for someone like me? Would it make more sense to stick with Hyundai, given my past experience and reliability factor, or is the Syros compelling enough in terms of features and overall package to take that leap? Looking forward to your honest advice. Regards, Heet Kariya.
