Questions you may find useful

I am looking for an automatic five-seater car under Rs 18 lakh and am confused between the Honda Elevate and Hyundai Creta. Which would be more comfortable for highway travel? My annual running will be below 12,000km.

•3w

I am 73 years old and want to upgrade from my Ford Aspire Titanium AM. I am considering the Honda Elevate and Hyundai Creta. An automatic gearbox is important, and front-seat comfort is my main priority. Which one would you recommend?

•4w

Elevate facelift looks better equipped now. With these added features, do you think it can give Creta and Seltos a tougher fight?

•4w

I am confused between Creta SX IVT and Elevate CVT for 8000 km of annual running with long trips of 1200 km 3-4 times in a year for a family of 4. Apart from this, day to day usage is less than 100km per month. I am looking for a car for long term ownership and travel comfort.

I am confused between the Elevate and the Creta. I understand that the Creta is the more established one, but with Honda, the value it brings is amazing, while the price of the Creta is a bit higher than the value it offers. I am mostly a city driver, with around 95% of my driving in the city and occasional highway trips, covering around 10,000km per year. Can you help me get some perspective?
