Is the Creta going to get a facelift or a new-generation update? If so, will the new Creta be available with a strong-hybrid powertrain or a regular petrol engine? Will the new Creta be similar to the new Seltos in terms of design and features?

Verified

Yes, the Hyundai Creta is due for a full generation change in 2027, not just a facelift. The current Creta is still a strong product, but Hyundai is already working on the next-generation model, which is expected to be a ground-up redesign. It will continue with petrol and diesel engines, as well as an EV, and while a hybrid version is on the cards, whether it will arrive at launch or at a later stage is yet to be seen. Hyundai (and Kia) are reportedly working hard to localise components of the hybrid powertrain so that it can be launched at a competitive price in the new Creta and Seltos. The new Creta will remain a separate product from the Seltos, with its own design and interior, although the new Creta will move to the new-gen K3 platform introduced with the new Seltos this year.

Is the Creta going to get a facelift? Will the facelifted model come with a hybrid? Will it be the same as the Seltos, or will it be different? When will the new Creta come? Should I wait for the new Creta or buy the new Seltos?

The Hyundai Creta received a major facelift in 2024, so the next all-new generation is expected around 2027. There is no official confirmation of a hybrid powertrain for the next Creta yet, but Hyundai is developing hybrid technology for India, so it is possible that the next-generation Creta could offer a hybrid option. The Creta and Seltos are built on the same platform and share engines, but Hyundai and Kia tune their cars differently. The Creta is positioned as the more comfort-oriented option, while the Seltos feels slightly more premium and offers marginally better rear seat space.If you need a car now, buy the Seltos. It is a very well-rounded product and you will not regret the decision. If you are not in a hurry and are specifically interested in a hybrid powertrain, it may be worth waiting for the next-generation Creta. Otherwise, there is no strong reason to delay your purchase.

I'm in planning to buy a reliable and comfortable car for 4 members with more than 400 litre of luggage space for 70% city and 30% highway use with a peppy engine. I live in a big city and am looking to replace the S-Cross petrol AT. I am open to automatic variant for a petrol or diesel engine. Do I have any luck?

Verified

Yes, you have a few good options. The Kia Seltos 1.5 petrol CVT would be the best fit if you want a comfortable, reliable automatic with a peppy-enough engine and a genuinely useful boot. At 447 litres, it comfortably exceeds your 400-litre requirement, while the naturally aspirated petrol-CVT combination is well suited to your 70% city usage.The Hyundai Creta 1.5 petrol CVT is another strong option. Its 433-litre boot meets your requirement and it offers a particularly comfortable ride, making it a good replacement for the S-Cross. However, the Seltos is slightly more spacious and its interior feels a little more upmarket and premium.If performance is a higher priority, the Seltos 1.5 turbo-petrol DCT is worth considering. However, the higher price and DCT's less relaxed nature in predominantly city traffic make the CVT the better fit for your usage.A diesel automatic doesn't make much sense for your usage unless your annual running is substantially higher than it appears.

I currently drive a Grand i10 Manual petrol and am now planning to buy a new compact SUV that is comfortable, fuel efficient and has low maintenance. My usage is 35km of daily office commute in Delhi-NCR traffic. Please advice which option is best fit amongst Hyundai Venue HX 6T, SONET HTK+O and XUV 3XO.

Go for the Hyundai Venue. With your daily 35km commute in Delhi NCR traffic, comfort and low maintenance are key, and the Venue delivers on both. The 1.2 NA petrol is smooth, refined and easy to drive in stop-start conditions, while Hyundai’s service network and ownership experience are among the best in the segment. The HX6T variant also gives you a good balance of features without pushing the budget too far.The Sonet HTK+O is mechanically very similar, but the Venue is a newer model and offers a more spacious cabin. The XUV 3XO is also a good option, but its turbo petrol engine won't be as efficient as the Hyundai’s.Overall, the Venue is the most sensible upgrade from your Grand i10 for daily city use.

Hey Experts, I'm planning to buy a car under 18 lakh. I will be using the car on weekends only, with 1-2 highway runs per month. Due to the highway runs, I want level 2 ADAS. Considering the purchase is in Karnataka, where the RTO is absurdly high, only sub-4m cars are fitting my requirements. I have taken the test drive of XUV 3XO and Venue. Which car and variant do you recommend?

Verified

Go for the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7L petrol automatic. It is the best fit for your requirements. The 3XO offers a more spacious cabin than the Venue, a wider rear seat and a comprehensive Level 2 ADAS suite. The turbo petrol engine is punchy and well-suited to your weekend highway runs, while the torque converter automatic gearbox is smooth and easy to live with in the city. The Venue is a good car, but the 3XO simply offers more space and a richer feature list at a similar price point. Given Karnataka's high RTO costs, the 3XO AX7L petrol automatic sits comfortably within your Rs. 18 lakh budget and offers the best overall value.
