2024 Hyundai Creta vs Skoda Kushaq vs Volkswagen Taigun vs Honda Elevate vs MG Astor vs Citroen C3 Aircross: Specification Comparison
The Hyundai Creta has become a more rounded package with the refresh, but does it have enough tricks up its sleeve to take on the premium set of rivals on paper?
We recently got the facelifted Hyundai Creta in India, with its prices starting from Rs 11 lakh (introductory ex-showroom pan-India). We have already compared it against the Kia Seltos and the Maruti Grand Vitara-Toyota Hyryder duo, so this time around let’s check out how it fares against some other premium petrol-only rivals on paper:

The new Hyundai Creta is the longest SUV here, beating even the MG Astor and Citroen C3 Aircross by 7 mm.
-
It’s the MG SUV which is the widest among the models mentioned above. The Creta, on the other hand, is as wide as the Honda Elevate (1790 mm).
-
As the Skoda Kushaq-Volkswagen Taigun are essentially the same products underneath (since they are based on the same platform), they have the same width, height, wheelbase, and even boot space.
-
When it comes to the length of the wheelbase and the total boot space on offer, it’s the Citroen C3 Aircross that tops the list. It is the only compact SUV here that is available with both 5- and 7-seater options.

*N.A. - Naturally Aspirated
-
All SUVs here get the option of a turbo-petrol engine, except the Honda Elevate, which coincidentally has, the most powerful naturally aspirated engine here.
-
The new Creta now has the most powerful and torquiest turbo-petrol engine in the segment, beating the Kushaq-Taigun duo. Skoda and Volkswagen offer their SUVs with the highest number of transmission options here.
-
If you want the SUV with the most fuel-efficient powertrain, your pick should be between the Skoda Kushaq or the Volkswagen Taigun. Their 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine also features active cylinder deactivation, switching off two of the four cylinders under low load for maximum fuel efficiency.
