The Hyundai Creta has been dominating the mid-size SUV space ever since its launch and with the facelift, it aims to take the lead further ahead. But can Honda's re-entry into the mid-size SUV space with the Elevate trouble the Creta? NIkhil Bhatia finds out while putting the petrol automatic versions head-to-head.

Got the elevate and it was our first Honda. We owned the 1st gen Creta before this. The Elevate is a no nonsense and more reliable car. The seats are super comfortable and the brown colour scheme will be easier to maintain in the long run. The infotainment of the Creta with the wireless connectivity is as smooth as my beamer’s! NOTE: the panaromic sunroof is the most useless feature in a car.

@raghavjsankar3004 Ай бұрын

I have an elevate- even when we ordered it last june, the koreans had better features and the europeans had noticeably more power and driver engagement. We bought it because it’s a practical choice for someone planning to use it for more than 6 years- we got a 10 year warranty plan for 30k as opposed to say 3 years after extension for the kushaq. The 1.5 na 4cyl is reasonably reliable even though I wouldn’t call it the most peppy, especially when paired with the cvt. The service costs are not that bad and being a honda and also sharing a lot of mechanicals with the city, parts shouldn’t break and even if they do, it wouldn’t be as expensive. I also like the ergonomic cabin and the lack of haptic hvac and all those gimmicks, 220 mm ground clearance is reassuring in Kerala’s atrocious roads. My heart wanted a manual honda city but my family wanted an automatic crossover, and to be fair it was one of the most comfortable in the class especially for rear passengers along with the skoda which also handled better. Safety is untested but it shouldn’t be like a suzuki, I hope, so, yeah, team elevate

The review is full of contrasting statements, like Creta has sunshades for hot days, but there is praise for panoramic sunroof which will be a pain every single day by letting in more heat; or that while Creta has torque convertor like transmission and Elevate is called out for rubber-band effect, but Elevate is faster in sprint and in-gear acceleration; or Creta has plusher interiors but no soft touch surfaces like Elevate, which are supposed to be the symbol of plushness; and so on. To me it seems to be a ploy to push Creta as winner, despite the fact top model costs close to 2.5 lakhs more, and in a sense one will have to pay dearly for the features which if one adds up won't account for the value delivered.

Everything in every car is fine and even if there is a flaw, there is a workaround or another side to it that magically makes it a non issue. This is due to the fact have prior relationships with many car manufacturers and any critical review can lead to punishments from manufacturers in many forms.(Not providing review units, withholding press passes etc.etc.etc.)

I don’t understand. We haven’t faced a heating issue with the panoramic sunroof on a Creta but did on Grand Vitara and reported it. The sunshade comes handy in the early mornings or evenings when the sun hits you directly. Please look at an Elevate and a Creta in the same setting and tell me you find the Honda more premium inside. Soft touch plastics is a miss but the overall look and feel is way superior. As for the gearbox, the Creta doesn’t have that wild rev increase that other CVTs exhibit. What am i to say? The Elevate is faster but does that mean its automatically free from the rubberband effect? Also, i have said repeatedly the Elevate is great value. However, not everyone is shopping for value. And the extra spend does get you a whole lot more. I hope this clears some of your doubts

The comparison is good. I bought my Elevate ZX cvt in 2023 October. By that time the Seltos face lift was launched but I have chosen the Elevate for its clasic interior and the Vtec motor. Here the Creta with NA engine is more expensive than Elevate. Those who want NA engine with cvt the Honda Elevate is more value for it's price.

@user-dg7tw2wg4f Ай бұрын

This seems unfair verdict at the end. I own ZX CVT Elevate and I can vouch that it's the most VFM in terms of pure Petrol NA variant. You praise about Creta but fail to understand it's top end is almost 2.5Lac costlier than Elevate only for those gimmicks like Panoramic sunroof etc. Note, ZX CVT has Level 2 ADAS which is big positive for Honda. I don''t care about fancy and gimmicky electronics which is bound to cause issues in the long term. Things I wish Elevate had: 1) 360 camera 2) Ventilated seats. 3) Better NVH insulation (people who compare about too much engine noise in Honda forget that it's the Ivtec characteristic and even City/Amaze makes similar noise.) 4) Hybrid option which could have killed all the GV and Hyryder bookings for sure.

Spot on review, test drove the Elevate and found it to busy and noisy for my liking: it was a deal breaker for me, more sound insulation around the firewall, floor and wheel wells and boot would have reduced it considerably, I was driving a Honda City CVT then found the dynamics akin to a jacked up City. The rear bench was also not as comfy as my the Honda City my family members said. Actually no one was asking Honda to build an SUV with strict price restrictions: but Honda has built an Elevate to a price and cost cutting shows. I've bought a Kia Carens which is so peaceful and hush on the insides. I didn't TD a Creta as my need necessitated a 7 seater more than 5. My TD of the Elevate was rather underwhelming. The midsize SUV segment is more about refinement and not much about price: people may not bat an eyelid to stretch a few lakhs for the better product and features and I can say Honda has missed out big time on the Elevate in the NVH department. I must say that Kia makes some of the best interiors in this segment...Panoramic sunroof is not a miss for the customer: it's a blessing in our hot Indian summers...

After seeing the price. I wouldn't go with Creta. I earlier sat in the Creta's backseat and due to the panoramic sunroof, there was adequate headroom for my height. And I understand already that panoramic sunroof is best in bigger SUVs, but for mid size SUVs and below, a single pane sunroof is just right. Functionality, elegant looks, practicality are something Elevate offers and it is something I would prefer it as it undercuts the Creta by a huge margin. Doesn't matter if it misses a lot of frills, but atleast ventilated seats, 360 degree camera would have been great. It's an absolute shame that for 18 lakhs, that large 10.25 inch infotainment still doesn't support wireless apple carplay and android auto in Creta

Performance is just awesome, just throttle the accelerator and you can over take almost any 1.5L petrol engine

But overall i felt Elevate was one generation behind when compared to Creta. Creta has always been feature rich, which in present day is a great selling point although sun roof is a useless add on Elevate is simple and has enough features for day to day commuting. But lacks that X factor.

Many KZfaqrs compare the Elevate to the Creta, but they overlook that buyers with a Creta budget often choose the Creta. I'd prefer if they compared the Elevate to the 3xO, Nexon, Sonnet, and Venue. While these are different segments, their top variants are similarly priced, with mid variants only differing by 1-1.5 lakhs. The Creta and Elevate have a 4 lakh price gap. Buyers in this range often have budget constraints and prioritize value and driving experience over the specific SUV category. I personally went to buy a Venue N6 and ended up with the Elevate V CVT-R, which was only 40k more and much better.

I did check Creta and it’s nice and all, but I felt it was too busy inside with too much going. I loved the simplicity and class of Elevate and very happy to save 2.5 lakhs. Only two things I really wish the Elevate had was 360 camera and ventilated seats. Everything else that the Creta has is just waiting for those things to break. Drive, height and driver visibility wise, Elevate wins hands down.

Need to talk about the Cretas back seat, specifically its recline angle. In my opinion, its so small that most buyers would just recline it once and forget all about it, except when you need that little bit of additional storagein the boot. What do you guys feel? Also, my personal choice would be the Elevate if I were to go for a naturally aspirated engine. In theother segments it's a pity Hondadoes not have an offering. Design wise, while the Elevate looks imposing from the front, I like this version of the Creta better. The panoramic sun roof is the most useless feature you can have in any car when driven in a tropical climate like India. Hill stations, ok. Other places like the one I live (Kerala), 4 months rain, 6 months of heat and 2 months of tolerable heat. When do I use it? The City's hybrid should have been replicated in the Elevate during launch itself. Thats a sure miss.

Today, I had my second Honda Elevate test drive of the top model, the CVT ZX. However, I must say that it doesn't feel like a true Honda product; it only bears the Honda name. On rough roads, there is excessive cabin noise, especially in the back. The cabin is spacious enough and can be considered the best in its segment. However, the excessive noise is a major issue. The suspension needs significant improvement compared to market competitors like the Creta and Seltos, as well as accelerator noise while pressing the race pedal. I tried both slow and aggressive driving, but the result was the same. I'm not sure if the test drive model I used had specific issues, but I tried two test drives from different dealerships because the overwhelmingly positive reviews intrigued me. I have to wonder why the Creta and Seltos have had such peak sales performance. While I need a family vehicle for the long term, I don't want to rely solely on a brand name. I test drove the Hyryder, Seltos, Creta, Nexon, and Elevate, all in the petrol segment. However, I was disappointed by their price-to-performance ratio. This segment is particularly confusing for buyers in the 15 lakh price range. In my experience, the Grand Vitara is cheap market garbage for such a premium segment of 15-20 lakhs. I'm still confused about what to buy. If anyone has any good experiences with a good vehicle under 15 lakhs in May 2024, please let me know; it would be a great help.

Only the Elevate has Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto… it’s frustrating how both Seltos and Creta top end models don’t have Wireless CarPlay.. come on Hyundai

I have elevate zxt manual, only miss is ventilated seats and better nvh level on tyre noise...it's an awesome no nonsense ,built to last car.everything which actually matters is well thought out. and vtec engine is best NA engine in the segment..With lane assist camera and straight bonet I never needed 360 camera too, Adas does it's job and never bothers you with unnecessary warnings.. 2.5 lakhs cheaper is cherry on cake

I made the right decision to buy a Honda Elevate. Elevate has the best braking, Ride quality, space, seats quality in the segment. It's a Safe car, Reliable, Best ICE Engine, peace of mind, Handling is very good despite the highest 220mm ground clearance. It's a well engineered & all rounder product for sure. Its a more practical choice and with sensible driving, you can easily churn over 18KMPL mileage in Manual 9on highway cruising) Got the first of the lot and have clocked 10K Kms, so you can drop in questions (if any)

R u ok with NVH? I am looking to upgrade from a third gen city & that is the single biggest concern if I were to stick with Honda.

How’s the suspension.

@akshatchandra60 Ай бұрын

@@josefrancymal personally not a fan of automatics. I did test drive, but wasn't swayed. its like any other cvt keeping cost in mind, you won't go wrong w it. but do test drive on a long stretch before making a purchase

Sunroof should be made optional.... there is a big chunk of customers who dont like it, still keeping it just bcoz they cant remove or opt out that

People who buy Creta, buy Creta and that's about it! For those not opting for Creta, can you please do a comparison review of the Honda Elevate and Toyota Hyrider? Thank!

@APK-dq7rc Ай бұрын

Sir, In my oppinion Toyota Hyrider & Elevate cannot be compared. Elevate has good SUV feel & Characterestics with High Ground Clerance & High Seating Position. Elevate has better ride quality & offers plenty of space. CVT Automatic variants of Elevate are very low in price. Elevate is a true VFM product in its segment

@prakhar.29december Ай бұрын

No rear disc brakes in Elevate are a big miss on Honda's part. Any car churning more than 100ps of power should come with all 4 disc brakes.

@ANJANI4986 Ай бұрын

doesn't matter a lot if the braking distance is the best in the segment. Also, braking is very smooth on Elevate. But I agree with 4 disk brake Elevate could have theoretically the best brakes in sub-40 lacs car.

When you take your family to both showrooms and let them sit inside both you will forced to purchase one, that you will know from the sales figures. Common Honda, give something good to India or Atleast give some feature rich base or mid models.

1.5 Diesel and 1.5Turbo engines in the Creta, Seltos fits best for SUV. 1.5 petrol is very fuel efficient. Hyryder Hybrid engine is unique.

Do people really use ADAS lvl 2 on daily basis or is it a gimmick feature?

@speedfreak286 Ай бұрын

Hondas deserve a driver who’s comfortable with manual GB.. it’s for drivers and not for A 2 B passengers.. got a City and it loves to be revved.. my dad had the 2nd generation as well and it loved to be driven hard.. it’s for enthusiasts in India and not the features wannabe.. hate Hyundai because they were never drivers cars.. which real driver would ever want an electronic brake

@srrinathnaramshetty5240 Ай бұрын

I did test ride on both Elevate ZX CVT & Creta Sx Tech ... These are my observations Driving pick up is good in honda Driving view is more commandable in Elevate I can clearly hear engine noise in 80 speed itself .. Remaining all old school fashion style... Create on the other hand provides Engine refinement is awesome The cabin in so calm , except our music & talks Driving experience is very cool...not very quickest but it will be almost very next to elevate.. The look & feel in create is far a way better than Elevate Music is great.. Rear seats are so comfort & spacious

Elevate is the winner

@sreekanthreddy3636 Ай бұрын

No one is speaking about Post maintenance after buying a car. Honda is a lot expensive in terms of parts and service when compared with Hyundai. This will make a lot of sense as everytime when car goes for service as it will Hurt your pocket. And next petrol in only option in Elevate. But in Creta they have diesel, due to this a lot of them are turning towards creta for Fuel efficiency.

There's no car to beat the creta in the segment. All other cars are working for the second position. First position is already taken.

Best comparison because both are LOW FUEL EFFICIENCY cars.. You need tones of cash to fill petrol.. these days lot of hard marketing to sell the ELEVATE 😮

Who would have thought a same segment Hyundai would be more spacious than a Honda. Whatever happened to ‘Man Maximum m, machine minimum’ ideology. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Only saving grace can be a solid GNCAP result but only Honda knows what’s stopping them from getting that done

@TheAmeya6 Ай бұрын

I test drove both the creta and elevate. Elevate felt so much more like an SUV because of its bonnet visibility, steering was much more responsive, and it ate bumps which made Indian roads feel like foreign ones 😂 Out of the features it’s missing, 360 camera with guidelines feels like the biggest miss. But, then again, the left lane watch camera, front bonnet do make up for some of it. To each their own, but elevate has its own unique charisma, try your hands before deciding anything.
