Trending Questions on Hyundai Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I’m looking to buy a mid-size SUV mainly for city use in Mumbai, with occasional family weekend trips. I like the Seltos HTX (A) IVT overall, but I’m not a big fan of its looks. Should I buy the Seltos now or wait for the next-generation Hyundai Creta? And when is the next-gen Creta realistically expected to launch?
If you like the Kia Seltos HTX IVT as a product but are not a fan of its looks, waiting for the next-generation Hyundai Creta could be a sensible option. The current Seltos and Creta are mechanically very similar, so the decision really comes down to design and personal preference. This next-generation Hyundai car is expected next year, so if you are not in a hurry, it is worth waiting for. If you need a car now, this Kia car remains a strong choice for your use case, thanks to its smooth CVT gearbox and comfortable cabin. Ultimately, if the Seltos’ design is a deal-breaker, waiting for the new Creta is the better decision.
I am planning to buy an automatic car for a family of four next year. My budget is around Rs 8 lakh, and the car will be used mostly in the city, with occasional trips twice a year. Please suggest some good options. I am considering the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Sportz IVT, Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta AMT, Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT, and Tata Punch Pure Plus AMT. I am also open to other suggestions.
Go for the Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta AMT as it is the most sensible choice. The Baleno offers a spacious cabin, a comfortable rear seat, and a large boot, making this Maruti Suzuki car well suited to family use. The AMT is smooth enough for city driving, and Maruti's service network and low maintenance costs make it a stress-free long-term ownership proposition.The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Sportz AMT is also a good option, but the Baleno offers more space and should be more efficient too. This Hyundai car is solid, but it won't fit in your budget, and the Baleno offers better value for money. The Tata Punch Pure Plus AMT is a good city car with a higher seating position, but the Baleno is the more complete family car. Overall, the Baleno Zeta AMT is the best fit for your needs.
I am looking for an EV under Rs. 14 lakh that I plan to buy in 2027 (Q1). The car should have good range, basic features, and should be more spacious than Tata Punch but cheaper than the Windsor. Basically, I want an EV that is as spacious as Baleno/i20/Altroz. Are there any upcoming EVs in 2026 or early 2027 that might fit my budget?
Yes, since you are planning to buy an EV in 2027 (Q1), we will advice you to wait for upcoming Hyundai compact EV. This new compact electric SUV is based on Hyundai’s E-GMP (K) platform and is expected to arrive by the end of 2026. It will sit below the Creta Electric and directly target the Punch EV/Nexon EV space.For your requirement, this is particularly interesting because Hyundai is expected to offer two battery options, with the larger one potentially giving a claimed range around the 400km mark. The India-spec car is also expected to be well equipped, with Hyundai confirming Level 2 ADAS and OTA capability.The bigger question will be pricing. Hyundai has indicated that this will be its more affordable, locally produced EV, so there is a reasonable chance of it fitting around your Rs. 14 lakh ceiling, although the exact variant pricing is not yet known.Since you are buying only in Q1 2027, waiting makes complete sense. The Hyundai compact EV should offer a better combination of cabin space, range and features than the Punch EV, while potentially undercutting the Windsor. It is easily the most relevant upcoming EV for your requirements.
Hi, I’m planning to buy my first car under 15 lakh. I am a new driver and am still learning to drive. I’m confused between Creta S(O) IVT and Seltos HTK(O) IVT. I will be mostly driving within Mumbai city with occasional weekend trips. I am planning to keep the car for next 8-10 years so I want a reliable car with low maintenance. I went to different dealers and got final quotation of Rs. 15.8 lakh for Creta S(O) and 17 lakh for Seltos HTK(O). The features offered by Seltos are hard to ignore. So, now I am confused between these two cars. Seltos offers leather upholstery, ventilated front seat, driver power seat, front parking sensors and a big infotainment screen. These features are missing in Creta S(O) model. Please help and suggest whether I should spend 1.2 lakh more for these additional features.
Go for the Seltos HTK(O) IVT and spend the extra Rs 1.2 lakh. For a first-time driver who will predominantly drive in Mumbai and plans to keep the car for 8-10 years, the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol with IVT is a very sensible combination. The IVT is smooth and easy to drive in stop-go traffic, while the engine is refined and well suited to relaxed city driving.The extra equipment on the Seltos is also more than just a list of gimmicks. Ventilated seats, powered driver's seat and front parking sensors are features you can genuinely appreciate over a long ownership period, particularly in Mumbai. The larger infotainment screen and leatherette upholstery add to the everyday experience as well. The Seltos also has a slightly more spacious cabin and more premium feel.The Creta S(O) IVT remains a very good choice and saves Rs 1.2 lakh, but the price difference isn't large enough to justify choosing the lower-equipped car if you already value these features.
I am confused between Hyundai Aura and Verna. Please advise.
If the Verna fits into your budget, it is the better car. It is nicer to drive, more spacious, more comfortable and overall, it feels more premium. Opt for the Aura only if you need a more compact car, perhaps due to parking constraints.
