I have a 2015 manual diesel Creta SX(O) model for the past 10 years. Planning to buy an automatic car. Family of two, and I am 65. Only Bangalore city driving, averaging 100 km per month. What car similar to the Creta do you suggest? I do not mind waiting for six months.
For your mostly city driving in Bangalore and an easy-to-live-with automatic, the Kia Seltos is a very good choice. It feels familiar but is larger, more spacious and better equipped than your old Creta, with a bigger boot as well.
We recommend the 1.5 litre petrol with the IVT automatic. The gearbox is smooth and seamless, and the refined engine makes everyday driving effortless. The Hyundai Creta is also a good option, but the Seltos feels slightly more spacious and is a better value at a similar price. Plus, the Hyundai Creta is expected to be replaced early next year, and since you are willing to wait, this is something you can keep in mind before making a final decision.

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: โน17-19 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.

Asked by: manjeeton Feb 17, 2026
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.

Asked by: Ajay Thilakanon Feb 16, 2026
Iโm looking for a compact SUV, and I am a big fan of the Kia Seltos. I am a driving enthusiast, but the TGDi engine of the Seltos will stretch my budget considerably. I also want all the bells and whistles like a 360-degree camera and a fully digital instrument cluster. I wanted a manual gearbox with the TGDi, but that is no longer an option. My dilemma is whether to choose the Kia Seltos HTX(A) manual with the naturally aspirated engine or the Hyundai Venue N-Line N10 DCT. Is spending โน2-4 lakh extra on the Kia Seltos (considering both NA and TGDi engines) justifiable, or should I settle for the sub-4-metre Hyundai Venue (1.0L turbo engine)?
If you enjoy driving, the Kia Seltos's 1.5 naturally aspirated petrol is not the engine for you - capable as it is in everyday driving. Similarly, the Hyundai Venue, even though its 1.0-litre T-GDi engine has a strong 120hp power figure, just doesn't feel quite as punchy or enthusiastic as the numbers suggest. And since you're on a budget, but you also want all the bells and whistles, there are a couple of different ways you could go.
Since Kia doesn't offer the 1.5 T-GDi with a manual gearbox (the iMT is not as enjoyable), you could increase your budget and go for the DCT. If that's not an option, consider other fun-to-drive and fully loaded cars that could serve all your needs.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO with its 131hp, T-GDi engine is exciting to drive, especially in manual guise, and gets you loads of features within your budget. However, our recommendation is the Hyundai Creta N-Line - it's a little older than the Seltos and doesn't have the latest tech, but it's still very well-loaded with features and good on space too. Moreover, you get the smooth yet punchy 1.5 T-GDi engine with a manual, and the N-Line arguably handles better than the Seltos, too.

Asked by: Subhra Dason Feb 16, 2026
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.

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 donโt 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.

Asked by: Harshon Feb 16, 2026
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.

I am trying to shortlist a suitable car. In the past, our family has owned a Scorpio and a Skoda Fabia Diesel. We are currently using a Toyota Glanza as a stopgap. We do about 1,000 km monthly, and occasionally there might be a trip to Delhi or Patiala (Dugri). On interstate trips, we will use a driver. We are a family of four and are looking for a good 5-seater, because most cars feel like 4-seaters unless the fifth seat is usable. We had finalised the diesel Creta or Innova Crysta, but uncertainty over diesel cars is confusing. Can we still go for diesel at present? Also, if we consider hybrids, the Hyryder and Grand Vitara feel like 4-seaters. Please advise.
Firstly, to clarify the uncertainty around diesel, it's lifting as far as bans and regulations go. Even in Delhi, with the most stringent GRAP 4 restrictions in place.
A modern BS6 diesel is exempt, which points to a realisation that modern diesels are clean and are not being targeted by the authorities. The Toyota Innova Crysta is your best choice from a space point of view, and gives you the option of a third row of seats as well.
However, Innova Crysta is mainly aimed at the fleet segment and comes only with a manual transmission and a very functional interior that feels a bit downmarket.
If you find the Hyundai Creta diesel comfortable, you can go for that as it has a wider rear than the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrids. Also, the hybrid battery eats into boot space, so for your interstate trips, you may not have enough space for your luggage.
Another good option is the Kia Seltos diesel, which has the most spacious back seat of all

My family has used a Wagon R for 8 years. We also have an Innova Crysta. We now want to replace the Wagon R with an automatic SUV that is cheaper than the Creta. It should be suitable for city use as well as occasional travel. Preferably diesel and suitable for long-term ownership.
Since you are looking for a diesel-automatic SUV that is smaller than the Hyundai Creta, we would recommend the Hyundai Venue.
The Hyundai Venue is powered by a 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine that's paired with a smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox and has a claimed mileage of 17.9 kpl. The compact SUV also has a spacious, comfortable, and feature-rich cabin. It is also a good long-term purchase, as the Venue is reliable and Hyundai has a widespread service network in India.
Hyundai Venue diesel-automatic prices range from Rs 11.58 lakh to Rs 15.51 lakh (ex-showroom).

Asked by: Navneeton Feb 13, 2026
Hello! After test riding the automatics of Kylaq, 3XO, Venue, Nexon, Creta, Seltos, Hyryder, Elevate, Kushaq, Taigun, and Roxx, Iโve narrowed my choice down to Kylaq Signature+ AT and Hyundai Creta S(O) IVT. Iโm really confused between these two: Kylaq Signature+ AT โข I love the drivability and safety feel. โข Comfortable with higher service and parts costs. โข Main concern is reliability. I donโt want unexpected visits to the service center beyond regular servicing. Creta S(O) IVT โข Great comfort, reliability, and bigger size. โข But in a recent highway test drive, I didnโt feel very confident while cornering. The throttle response felt weak (though manageable). For context, my current car is a Grand i10. In 8 years, Iโve only ever visited the service center twice (one heater coil issue and a clutch adjustment). I live in the Delhi NCR region. My use would be 80% city, but as my hometown is in hilly terrain, I want the car to perform well in hills. So my key question is: How reliable is the Automatic Kylaq? Are there any major issues? Should I go for Kylaq over Creta? PS: Donโt want to wait for the Kushaq facelift as I feel Kylaq is more VFM, having the same engine and better performance. Not considering DSG. Thanks in advance.
On driving pleasure, as you have rightly pointed out, it is hard to beat the Skoda Kylaq. The turbo petrol engine delivers strong torque, and the ride and handling balance is among the best at this price point.
However, when choosing between the Skoda Kylaq and the Hyundai Creta, the Creta emerges as the more sensible option if peace of mind ownership is a priority. Having already lived with a Hyundai and experienced trouble-free ownership, the transition will feel familiar and reassuring. With the sheer number of Cretas on the road, it is a proven product that is difficult to go wrong with.
The Cretaโs 1.5 litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the CVT automatic gearbox is exceptionally seamless. This makes city driving effortless, which is an important factor given that nearly 80 percent of your usage will be urban.
That said, the Kylaq should also prove to be reliable. Mechanically, it is a well-established package. The turbo petrol engine has been used across multiple models over the years, and the 6-speed torque converter automatic is sourced from Aisin, a supplier trusted by several major manufacturers in India. From a durability standpoint, there are no inherent concerns.
Where Hyundai still holds a clear advantage is in aftersales support and service reach. The ownership experience is more predictable, especially in a region like Delhi NCR or when driving to the hills, where service stations are fewer and farther apart.
If driving enjoyment is your top priority, the Kylaq will always feel more engaging. But if long-term ownership comfort, service reach and peace of mind matter more, the Hyundai Creta remains the safer and more rounded choice.
