Same money, which car?
Take ₹20.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta Electric Premium at ₹20.00L or the Hector Plus Savvy Pro at ₹20.00L.
Our take
Same money either way, so take the Hector Plus Savvy Pro: 360° camera, JBL system with Dolby Atmos and ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (14" against 10.25") and front parking sensors. The rest of the additions are minor trim.
- Only the MG Hector Plus seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Creta Electric is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Hector Plus Savvy Pro: auto-folding wing mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, third-row AC vents and air purifier, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Hector Plus Savvy Pro, you give up ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), hill descent control and vehicle-to-load (V2L), which the Creta Electric Premium keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Creta Electric Premium if
- The budget pick, with EV running costs on top
- Choose the MG Hector Plus Savvy Pro if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
