News & Top Stories2024 Comparing The facelifted Hyundai Creta was recently released in India, with starting pricing as low as Rs 11 lakh (introductory ex-showroom across India). Even though we’ve previously contrasted it with the Kia Seltos and the Maruti Grand Vitara-Toyota Hyryder combination, let’s examine its numerical performance against a few additional high-end gasoline-only competitors in this article:

- The 2017 Hyundai Creta is the longest SUV in our comparison, coming in just 7 mm shorter than the MG Astor and Citroen C3 Aircross.
- Of the vehicles listed above, the MG SUV is the most widely available. Conversely, the width of the Creta is equal to that of the Honda Elevate (1790 mm).
- The Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun have the same width, height, wheelbase, and even trunk capacity because they are practically the same products beneath (having been built on the same platform).
- The Citroen C3 Aircross is the best vehicle available in terms of both wheelbase length and overall luggage space. This is the only little SUV that can accommodate five or seven people.

- With the exception of the Honda Elevate, which has the strongest N.A. engine available, all of these SUVs have the option of a turbo-petrol engine.
- The new Creta has surpassed the Kushaq-Taigun combination to have the most potent and ferocious turbo-petrol engine in the class. Here, Skoda and Volkswagen have the most transmission choices for their SUVs.
- You should choose between the Volkswagen Taigun and the Skoda Kushaq if you want the SUV with the most fuel-efficient engine. Active cylinder deactivation is another characteristic of their 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine that turns off two of the four cylinders when the engine is not in use to maximize fuel efficiency.
