Honda Elevate vs Hyundai Creta: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Creta starts at ₹10.91L against the Honda Elevate's ₹11.81L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.90L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹16.36L, where the Elevate tops out. Past that only the Creta has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.91L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Elevate comes in petrol, the Creta in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹16.36L to both showrooms and you come out with the Elevate ZX at ₹16.36L or the Creta SX Premium at ₹16.34L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.02L more for the Elevate ZX: the Elevate ZX shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS and blind spot monitor. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Elevate ZX: driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Elevate ZX, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, tyre pressure monitor and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), which the Creta SX Premium keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Creta SX Premium if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.02L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Honda Elevate ZX if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
