Hyundai Creta vs Skoda Kushaq: which should you buy?
The Skoda Kushaq starts at ₹10.69L against the Hyundai Creta's ₹10.91L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.22L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.99L, where the Kushaq tops out. Past that only the Creta has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.91L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Creta comes in petrol and diesel, the Kushaq in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta King at ₹18.86L or the Kushaq Monte Carlo at ₹18.99L.
Our take
Keep the ₹0.13L: the Kushaq Monte Carlo only adds small touches like LED fog lamps and rear fog lamp. Nothing there changes the car.
- The Kushaq Monte Carlo is the strongest of the two at 150 PS
- The ₹0.13L step to the Kushaq Monte Carlo only buys minor trim: LED fog lamps and rear fog lamp
- Going to the Kushaq Monte Carlo, you give up level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, which the Creta King keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Creta King if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.13L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Skoda Kushaq Monte Carlo if
- You prefer this spec and the price gap does not bother you
