Hyundai Creta vs Tata Sierra: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Creta starts at ₹10.91L against the Tata Sierra's ₹11.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.58L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.91L, where the Creta tops out. Past that only the Sierra has anything left to sell you, up to ₹21.29L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.91L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta King at ₹19.91L or the Sierra Accomplished at ₹18.99L, the Sierra leaving ₹0.92L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.92L more for the Creta King: ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)) and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: connected car tech and powered driver seat (8-way against 6-way). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Sierra swallows the most luggage at 622 litres
- The Creta King is the strongest of the two at 160 PS
- Also on the Creta King: drive modes, wired CarPlay / Android Auto, auto climate (single zone) and driver seat memory, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Creta King, you give up JBL system with Dolby Atmos, head-up display and hill descent control, which the Sierra Accomplished keeps
- Choose the Tata Sierra Accomplished if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.92L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Creta King if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
