I have driven around 72k km so far, with a mix of daily commuting and frequent highway trips for work. I am now looking to upgrade.

There is nothing wrong with the Elevate - it has been a solid car - but the CVT feels a bit too tame for me now. I am looking for a logical upgrade with significantly better performance than the Elevate.

My requirements are an automatic transmission, and I am open to both petrol and electric options.

The car will be used mainly for commuting in rural towns, with occasional city drives and airport trips (around 2-3 times a year).
My priorities are: petrol automatic, good space, comfortable seating for 5 people, good fuel efficiency, easy and stress-free ownership, long-term reliability, low maintenance, and comfortable ride quality for elderly passengers. 
I am considering Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Toyota Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and also Tata Sierra.
Do you think the Honda Elevate is still a good choice, or would you recommend another model that meets my requirements?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/legacy/cdni/Galleries/20241125092757_HondaElevateFront34.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/industry/consumer-court-directs-maruti-grand-vitara-replacement-over-e20-fuel-dispute-440229</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-07-16T11:15:55+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Consumer court directs Maruti Grand Vitara replacement over E20 fuel dispute</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260716_052807_c002bf39.jpg</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-a-hybrid-or-ev-under-20-lakh-452861</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-07-16T10:59:50+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I am currently using a 2015 Hyundai Elite i20 Asta (petrol).
