Asked by: Syed Ahamedon Feb 11, 2026

My monthly usage is 1,300 km. I am currently using the Baleno Delta variant and planning to buy a new car. My budget is Rs 20 lakh. I need an automatic car with decent mileage and a comfortable ride quality. Usage is 40% highways and 60% city.

You can consider the Hyundai Creta 1.5 petrol IVT. It is a comfortable and spacious SUV that has a comfortable ride quality. The 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the CVT automatic gearbox is seamless, making it a good option for both city and highway use. The Creta IVT has a claimed mileage of 17.7kpl. Hyundai Creta IVT prices range between Rs 13.94 lakh and Rs 18.82 lakh (ex-showroom).
Alternatively, you can also consider the Kia Seltos, which is mechanically identical to the Hyundai Creta but has a different design inside and out and a roomier rear seat.

Asked by: Rasoolon Feb 10, 2026

I am planning to buy an SUV with an IVT gearbox and have shortlisted the Creta Knight Edition, Kia Seltos HTX A, and Tata Sierra Accomplished, but I am unable to decide which one to choose.

When it comes to petrol-CVT combinations, the Kia-Hyundai models are the better options. The Seltos is a new entrant with a fresh interior and a loaded cabin.  On the other hand, Creta, which shares the same powertrain as the Seltos, has a simpler design and interior. 

Both SUVs are spacious and comfortable, and between the two, it boils down to which one you like in terms of look and interior feel. Performance-wise, they are very similar, with a smooth petrol engine and an equally smooth CVT gearbox. 

Our recommendation would be the Seltos for its new interior and fit-finish.

Asked by: Nitin Khulleron Feb 10, 2026

Want to buy a new car in the range of Rs 15 to 20 lakh. My driving is around 25,000 km per year, mostly on highways. We are a family of four. Good fuel economy is essential. Please advise which car I should buy.

Since you frequent highways and the economy is a priority, a diesel SUV would be a good choice for you. In the Rs 15-20 lakh price range, the Kia Seltos is the newest option and has the right makings with a strong diesel engine, a well-equipped cabin and Kia's widespread network. The HTK (O) trim comes well packed with features that you would need and makes for a strong case.
The Tata Sierra is also an option to consider if the Seltos' design is a bit too over the top for you. The Sierra has lots of room in the cabin, and the diesel engine is refined and punchy as well.
If both these dont sit well with you, the Hyundai Creta is the safest bet. It has a clean, no-nonsense design, a well-equipped cabin and the same strong diesel engine as the Seltos. It will also hold its value better since the Creta brand name is much stronger.
All three have good room in the cabin, and boot space for four is sufficient too.

Asked by: Rajeev singhon Feb 10, 2026

Hi, I am using a Duster 110 RXZ and now want to sell it and buy a new SUV. What would you suggest, a petrol or a diesel SUV? My monthly run is around 1,000 km, and I have already driven 85,000 km in 8 years. My budget is around Rs 20 lakh, and I need a good, tough SUV that can be used for very long drives.

Since your monthly running is not very high, you can opt for a petrol SUV. In the Rs 20 lakh budget, you can consider the Tata Sierra, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Skoda Kushaq, to name a few. All three are good options and will serve you well.
The Hyundai Creta and Seltos are mechanically identical, while the Kushaq and Taigun share a lot between them.  To be fair, it comes down to the design and features you prefer.
The Renault Duster is also a great option to consider, and while prices are not out yet, it is likely to be in the same range as the above-mentioned SUVs. However, our recommendation will be to wait for the new upcoming Duster.
Since you already have the older version and have a good experience with it, the new one will be worth waiting for. It has modern looks, a premium cabin and lots of features, making it a strong contender in this segment.

Asked by: Sudesh Kalangutkaron Feb 8, 2026

I want to purchase a new mid-size SUV with all features such as a 360ยฐ camera, cruise control, ADAS Level 2, and a comfortable rear seat space for three.

You should consider the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, as both of them come equipped with the features you desire. Both SUVs are identical in terms of powertrain but differ in terms of design and features. So you should choose based on which car's styling, interior and feature set you prefer more. 

It's worth noting that the Kia is the newer product, and it has a slightly roomier cabin and some more features. Hyundai Creta prices range from Rs 10.79 lakh to Rs 20.05 lakh (ex-showroom, India), while Kia Seltos prices range from Rs 10.99 lakh to Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Asked by: Ricky sachdevon Feb 6, 2026

My budget is around โ‚น24 to 26 lakh, and I am confused between the Hyundai Creta and the new Tata Sierra.

Between the two, considering your budget, we would suggest going for the new Tata Sierra over the Creta.
The Hyundai Creta is still a competitive product, but the Sierra has moved the game forward. It is larger on the outside, more spacious inside, and comes equipped with premium features, including a triple-screen layout and a powered tailgate. In turbo petrol automatic form, the Sierra is well matched to Hyundaiโ€™s turbo petrol DCT and, in fact, feels smoother at city speeds thanks to its torque converter gearbox. It also feels more confident at higher speeds, and combined with the roomier and more comfortable cabin, makes for a better long-distance car.
That said, if you are looking at a diesel, the Hyundai diesel engine is more refined of the two. Similarly, in the case of naturally aspirated petrol engines, there is no real competition. Hyundaiโ€™s 1.5-litre NA petrol is superior on all counts, and its CVT automatic is smoother than Tataโ€™s dual clutch transmission.
One reason to be cautious about the Creta is that it is expected to be replaced early next year, which means it could start to feel dated sooner.
Another car you should definitely consider is the new Kia Seltos. It carries over the Cretaโ€™s strengths thanks to shared powertrains, but builds on them by being a newer generation car. It is larger than the Creta, even longer than the Sierra, offers more space than the Creta, has the most premium interiors of the three, and also undercuts the Sierra by over Rs 1 lakh, making it a very strong value

Asked by: R s chauahnon Feb 5, 2026

I am planning to buy an SUV in the โ‚น15 to 18 lakh range in petrol version and am confused between the Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Victoris, and Hyundai Creta.

All three SUVs have a different character, and it depends on your preference. If you enjoy driving and want strong performance with good dynamics, the Skoda Kushaq is a very good option. It has been recently updated with more features and is the most powerful SUV in comparison to these two with a 1,5-litre TSI engine with 150hp.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is a sedated and relaxed SUV that offers a calm driving experience and is the least powerful option here. What it loses in performance, it gains in efficiency. Compared to the Kushaq and Creta, you can expect a much better fuel economy with the Victoris. However, the rear seat isnโ€™t all too comfortable with a short seat base and firm cushioning. It also misses out on features in comparison to the other SUVs and isnโ€™t all that appealing.
The Creta has established its dominance by proving itself as a well-rounded SUV in every area. Yes, it does not have the power of the Kushaq, but it has plenty to hold its own and a strong set of features that are usable. Moreover, the Creta commands a premium in the after-sales department, and that adds overall value to the purchase.
We recommend the Hyundai Creta for its adaptability and ease of use.

Asked by: Jay Ramesh Deshmukhon Feb 4, 2026

Iโ€™m planning to buy a new car in the subcompact SUV segment. My usage is quite low, and I prefer an automatic transmission. My budget is between 15 and 20 lakh. The car will mainly be used as a family vehicle for driving within Mumbai city, with occasional highway trips once every couple of months. Iโ€™m considering the Hyundai Creta S(O) Petrol IVT, for which Iโ€™m getting a discount of โ‚น80,000. Do you think this is a good deal, or should I consider other options?

The Hyundai Creta S O 1.5 IVT is a great option in the midsize SUV segment. The petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the automatic gearbox is well-suited to city driving. The Creta also offers a spacious and comfortable cabin, and the feature list is quite comprehensive. The discount you are getting makes it an even more attractive proposition.
Being a new launch, the Kia Seltos won't be available with any discounts, but we'll still recommend you to consider the new Kia Seltos, which is essentially powered by the same 1.5 petrol-automatic combination as the Creta, but it feels a lot more modern in comparison. Its suspension also feels more comfortable than the Hyundai's. The HTX IVT will fall within your Rs 20 lakh budget.

Asked by: Swanand Shirvalkaron Feb 2, 2026

I am planning to buy an automatic SUV with a budget of โ‚น25 lakh and am confused between the Hyundai Creta DCT and Kia Seltos GTX Plus DCT. My usage will be mostly on highways with occasional city driving. Which one should I choose?

While both are compelling options, we would recommend the Kia Seltos, as it is simply the newer of the two, which brings several advantages. The new K3 platform is more advanced, with the latest electronic architecture that delivers more modern tech with better software and hardware. 

It's also a larger vehicle, offering more space inside the cabin, and has better ride quality than the Creta. There will be a new-gen Creta that will likely be built on this new platform, but it will not arrive before 2027. Until then, at least, the Seltos is the better option, using the same 160hp, 1.5 turbo-petrol engine and 7-speed DCT gearbox. 

However, since your usage is mostly on the highway, we recommend trying the smooth and more efficient diesel automatic version as well.

Asked by: ASon Feb 1, 2026

Hi Team. I need your advice on whether the Thar Roxx would be suitable for my usage. I am currently driving a 2015 Hyundai i10 manual and am planning to change it. About 90% of my driving is within the city, with a monthly running of around 1,000 km. The car is mainly used for home-to-office commutes, weekend city trips, and once-a-month highway drives. Now that the Roxx Star Edition has been launched, I am interested in it. Please suggest whether it is suitable for me. If yes, should I choose petrol or diesel? I prefer an automatic, but that will exceed my budget. I have a budget constraint of around โ‚น17 lakh on-road with a BH number. Please suggest other suitable options if the Thar Roxx is not ideal.

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is the most refined, sophisticated, and easy-to-drive ladder-frame SUV Mahindra has made yet, and its intention is to rival more conventional midsize SUVs like the Hyundai Creta.
However, some shortcomings of a ladder-frame SUV still remain. It is a large SUV whose boxy dimensions aren't ideal for the city, and its ride comfort is not as good as that of a conventional midsize SUV with a lot of movement inside the cabin. And its engines - both petrol and diesel - while powerful and relatively smooth, return very poor mileage, which will be a huge contrast after your 2015 Hyundai i10 manual. Still, it is a very appealing SUV, especially on the looks front, and it offers all the modern features you could want too, so if you are willing to put up with these shortcomings, you can check it out.
Do note, however, that the Roxx Star Edition will be outside your budget of Rs 17 lakh, even for the manual version. Otherwise, we would recommend waiting for the new Renault Duster to be launched in March 2026; it will offer similar tough appeal at a possibly more affordable price.
