Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is the best car, Maruti Grand Vitara or Hyundai Creta?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. The Grand Vitara offers a lot to Indian families with very little compromise. However, that little compromise is a big one: performance. The mild-hybrid engine is only good for city commutes and relaxed cruising and will feel inadequate for someone expecting more. As for the strong hybrid, the boot space is the limiting factor. But if these two aspects are not your priority, the Grand Vitara really delivers where it counts. It's spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, efficient, and a very likable family SUV. On the other hand, Hyundai Creta’s design may polarise people, it is the curvier SUV of the lot, which does make it look the biggest here. It is clearly an impressive compact SUV. It is spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, easy to drive, and offered powerful petrol and diesel engine options. Compared to the old car, it is a huge upgrade, both in terms of drive and feel. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which one is good to buy: Maruti Grand Vitara or Skoda Kushaq?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. The Grand Vitara offers a lot to Indian families with very little compromise. However, that little compromise is a big one: performance. The mild-hybrid engine is only good for city commutes and relaxed cruising and will feel inadequate for someone expecting more. As for the strong hybrid, the boot space is the limiting factor. But if these two aspects are not your priority, the Grand Vitara really delivers where it counts. It's spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, efficient, and a very likable family SUV. On the other hand, the Skoda Kushaq is certainly the more practical option with oodles of boot space, a quirky cabin, and a comfortable rear seat experience. But it is only ideal for a family of four as seating three people at the back is a hassle. It also sacrifices a few premium features for strong build quality. So if you’re willing to shell out most of the three SUVs and use it as a very comfortable four-seater, while coming out largely with flying colours in every other department, the Skoda Kushaq is the ideal choice. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Is Alpha variant worth to buy?
  • Yes, The Grand Vitara Alpha trim is fully loaded with all the new premium features that Maruti has started offering in 2022. It comes with a panoramic sunroof, a nine-inch infotainment system, soft-touch materials, and leatherette upholstery. The safety kit includes a 360-degree view monitor, six airbags, a hill-hold assist, and a rear washer and wiper. It is also the only variant that comes with the option of an all-wheel drive with a manual transmission. That variant further adds driving modes and hill-start assist.
