Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Hyundai Creta
  • Updated styling isn’t as polarizing - Looks expensive!
  • Improved interior design & quality makes in-cabin experience richer
  • Loaded with features like dual 10.25” displays & Level 2 ADAS & panoramic sunroof etc
Mahindra XUV500
  • All variants are feature rich. Thanks to its large dimensions and muscular design it has a lot of road presence.
Hyundai Creta
  • Boot is shallow and best suited to small trolley bags
  • Limited variants for automatic - Turbo engine available in a single automatic variant
Mahindra XUV500
  • Interior fit and finish isn’t the best. Third-row is cramped and with all seats up there is barely any luggage room left.

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. King or knight or S(o) automatic petrol or diesel is the best to buy?
  • If you are evaluating the Hyundai Creta in the S(O), S(O) Knight, or the newer King/King Knight variants with an automatic transmission, the King or King Knight is generally the more preferred choice as it offers a more premium and well-rounded ownership experience, while the S(O) and S(O) Knight sit lower in the lineup and the Knight mainly adds a distinct styling theme. In terms of fuel type, the petrol automatic is better suited for comfortable city driving, whereas the diesel automatic is more appropriate for customers with higher usage or frequent highway driving. The final selection will depend on your driving requirements, and we recommend connecting with an authorized dealership for a better understanding: https://www.zigwheels.com/dealers/hyundai/Delhi
Q. Shall I wait for xuv400 or buy xuv300 now? I’m planning on buying xuv300 w8(o) diesel. Or should I consider other options.
  • It would be too early to give a verdict as Mahindra XUV 400 is not launched yet. And, if we talk about Mahindra’s XUV300 is easily the brand’s best sub-4 meter SUV yet. It’s got the style and the substance to make your heart want it, but your head might think otherwise looking at the space on offer. Mahindra XUV300 is currently available in Petrol and Diesel engines. The 1197 cc Petrol engine generates a power of 108.6bhp@5000rpm and torque of 200Nm@2000-3500rpm. The 1497 cc Diesel engine generates a power of 115bhp@3750rpm and torque of 300Nm@1500-2500rpm. Mahindra XUV300 is available in both Manual
Q. Compare Skoda Rapid with xuv500w7
  • Selecting between Skoda Rapid and Mahindra XUV500 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, drive quality, features required, usage of the car, maintenance costs, etc. The Rapid would be a good option if you are looking for a compact sedan for everyday usability and occasional road trips. Driving dynamics as well as a lot of everyday practical features and yes, that 1-litre engine really changes that equation more than the spec sheet would suggest. Both in terms of everyday driveability as well as being exciting when the road opens up, while still staying efficient. On the other hand, if you are looking for a muscular and powerful SUV with an extra row of seats, feature-rich cabin, and good road presence then you may go with the XUV500. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership.
