Same money, which car?
Take ₹14.52L to both showrooms and you come out with the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater at ₹14.52L or the Creta EX(O) at ₹14.50L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.02L more for the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater: the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater runs the turbo engine. It also adds ventilated front seats. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater: touchscreen (10.25" against 8"), headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and auto climate (single zone), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, panoramic sunroof and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Creta EX(O) keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Creta EX(O) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.02L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
