Hyundai Creta Electric vs Jeep Compass: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Creta Electric and the Jeep Compass cost much the same to get into, at ₹18.03L and ₹17.99L ex-showroom Delhi.
They run together up to ₹23.82L, where the Creta Electric tops out. Past that only the Compass has anything left to sell you, up to ₹30.70L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Creta Electric comes in electric, the Compass in diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹23.82L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta Electric Excellence Knight at ₹23.82L or the Compass Longitude (O2) at ₹23.63L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.19L more for the Creta Electric Excellence Knight: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: hill descent control and touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Creta Electric is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Creta Electric Excellence Knight: Bose premium sound system, ventilated front seats, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and 8-way powered driver seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Creta Electric Excellence Knight, you give up frequency-selective dampers, which the Compass Longitude (O2) keeps
- Choose the Jeep Compass Longitude (O2) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.19L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence Knight if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
