Since the Honda Elevate is only available with a petrol engine, we have not included the diesel engine options of its rivals in this comparison. The Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor, and Kia Seltos also get the option of a turbo-petrol engine while Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder get the choice of a strong-hybrid powertrain.

The Grand Vitara has the most affordable entry-level price among its rivals, while the Taigun is the costliest.
The Elevate’s top-end manual variant is more affordable than top-spec variants of other compact SUVs by a large margin.

SUVs like the MG Astor and Kia Seltos do not offer the choice of a manual stick on their top-end turbo-petrol variants. The Seltos however gets a iMT (manual without clutch pedal) with the turbo-petrol engine, whose entry-option is priced close to the top-end Honda SUV.
The Kushaq and Taigun are the only ones in this list to get the turbo-petrol engine with a manual transmission. The entry-level 150PS option for the Kushaq is priced closest to the fully-loaded Elevate while their top-end MT variants being the costliest, going past even the Rs 18 lakh mark.

For the choice of a performance-oriented turbo-petrol compact SUV, like the Kushaq, Taigun, or Astor, it will cost you around a lakh more over the top-spec Elevate.

The Grand Vitara and Hyryder are available with the strong-hybrid option, which claims an efficiency of up to 27.97kmpl. The latter offers the hybrid option at a more affordable entry price which is still more expensive than the fully-loaded Honda SUV.
The Seltos is the costliest option compared to the other turbo-petrol automatic compact SUVs. The top-spec Kushaq and hybrid variants of the Maruti-Toyota duo are not far behind.

It’s a good thing that the Elevate undercuts most of its rivals, but it also skips out on several premium features already offered in the segment. There’s no panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, driver seat height adjustment, six airbags as standard, and a 360-degree camera. However, it does get the ADAS safety feature, at an affordable price, which is only available with the top-end variants of the Seltos and Astor for now.

Transmission	6-speed MT / CVT	5-speed MT / 6-speed AT	e-CVT	6-speed MT / CVT	6-speed MT / CVT	6-speed iMT / 7-speed DCT

While all the five SUVs get a 1.5-litre petrol engine, the Maruti Grand Vitara and Hyryder get the choice of a highly frugal petrol-hybrid unit. Those with a knack for mild off-roading can also look at the AWD variant of the Maruti-Toyota duo, although limited to the manual shifter. The Seltos is the only one in this list to get the choice of a turbo-petrol engine, which also makes it the most powerful option.

All of them can be opted with either a manual transmission or an automatic. The Grand Vitara and Hrydyer get an e-CVT with their hybrid powertrain. The Seltos’s turbo-petrol variants get an iMT (manual without clutch pedal) instead of a regular manual stick.

The Creta and Kia Seltos are the only ones in this list to also be offered with a diesel powertrain.

The Elevate is the least efficient of the lot, even when you look at the Seltos’s turbo-petrol engine in comparison. The most fuel-efficient compact SUV title goes to the Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder, with their claimed fuel efficiency of 27.97kmpl. However, it will be interesting to see how the Honda SUV performs in our real-world fuel-efficiency tests where models tend to fall fairly short of their claimed figures.

*Boot space figures not confirmed with OEM.

While the Honda Elevate arrives with a relatively simple design language, it does stand out for its height and also offers the longest wheelbase. Both those elements bode well for cabin space. The Hyryder and Seltos are the longest SUVs in this comparison, followed by the Grand Vitara. In terms of width, the Seltos leads the others by a very small margin.

The official boot capacity of Creta, Grand Vitara, and Hyryder have not been revealed, but the Elevate seems to offer the most space here.

The Kia Seltos is definitely the most feature-rich compact SUV, adding some segment-first highlights like dual-zone climate control and dual 10.25-inch integrated displays. All the four SUVs offer more creature comforts than the Honda Elevate, which misses out on front ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium sound system.

All the SUVs are packed with safety features to the brim. Six airbags are standard just on the Creta and Seltos for now. The radar-based safety technology, ADAS, is limited to the Elevate and Seltos. In comparison to its rivals, the Honda misses out on the tyre pressure monitoring system, a 360-degree camera, front parking sensors, and rain-sensing wipers.

Price Range

Honda Elevate	Maruti Grand Vitara	Toyota Hyryder	Hyundai Creta	Kia Seltos
Rs 12 lakh to Rs 17 lakh (Expected)	Rs 10.70 lakh to Rs 19.95 lakh	Rs 10.86 lakh to Rs 19.99 lakh	Rs 10.87 lakh to Rs 19.20 lakh	Rs 10.90 lakh to Rs 20 lakh

We expect the Elevate to be competitively priced against its core rivals, and the lack of impressive features should make it more affordable than the others at the top-spec variants.

(All prices ex-showroom)

The prices for the Honda Elevate will be out in early September, bookings are open and production is underway.

Watch Ferrari Testing Porsche 911 GT3 RS And McLaren Artura

July 27, 2023 Prafful Singh

Automakers often evaluate the performance of their own vehicles by benchmarking them against competitors. Even a renowned brand like Ferrari keeps a close eye on the supercar market. A spy photographer named Varryx camped outside Ferrari’s headquarters in Maranello and captured footage of the company testing a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a McLaren Artura. There were also numerous Ferrari models spotted during the testing.

The yellow Porsche 911 GT3 RS gets a lot of screen time in the video. It can be seen driving behind the gates, taking a run on public roads, and returning for further evaluation. The current GT3 RS is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine that generates 518 horsepower and is paired with a seven-speed PDK gearbox. Official specifications indicate that the car can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 184 mph. The model features active aerodynamic elements at the front and a drag reduction system, and it holds a lap record at the Nürburgring, completing it in 6 minutes and 49.328 seconds.

The blue McLaren Artura makes a briefer appearance in the video. It is seen going on a single outing.

The Artura is McLaren’s first series-production plug-in hybrid car, which sets it apart from the limited-run P1 supercar. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine combined with an electric motor in the transmission bell housing. The only available gearbox is an eight-speed dual-clutch setup. The Artura has a total output of 671 horsepower and 593 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 205 mph. The car also features a 7.4-kilowatt-hour battery that provides an electric driving range of 19 miles.

Hyundai Exter vs Rivals: Specifications Compared

***Hyundai Exter vs Rivals: Specifications Compared***

We find out how the Hyundai Exter fares against its rivals on paper

[![Hyundai Exter](https://stimg.cardekho.com/images/cms/carnewsimages/editorimages/64b7c98555e9e.jpg)](https://www.cardekho.com/hyundai/exter)

Hyundai Exter is now on sale in India and is being offered in five broad variants – EX, S, SX, SX (O), and SX (O) Connect – along with both petrol and CNG powertrain options. Considering the size and price of the micro SUV, we have compared its specifications with its direct rival, the Tata Punch, as well as other close rivals in the small SUV and crossover space. Let’s see how each of them fared on paper:

### Dimensions

| Dimensions | Hyundai Exter | Tata Punch | Citroen C3 | Maruti Ignis | Renault Kiger | Nissan Magnite |
|————|————-|————|————|————–|—————|—————-|
| Length | 3,815mm | 3,827mm | 3,981mm | 3,700mm | 3,991mm | 3,994mm |
| Width | 1,710mm | 1,742mm | 1,733mm | 1,690mm | 1,750mm | 1,758mm |
| Height | 1,631mm | 1,615mm | Up to 1,604mm | 1,595mm | 1,605mm | 1,572mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,450mm | 2,445mm | 2,540mm | 2,435mm | 2,500mm | 2,500mm |
| Boot Space | 391 litres | 366 litres | 315 litres | 260 litres | 405 litres | 336 litres |

![Hyundai Exter](https://stimg.cardekho.com/pwa/img/spacer3x2.png)

– Hyundai Exter stands out as the tallest among all the models mentioned in the table. However, in terms of length, it is shorter and narrower than all except the Maruti Ignis.
– Exter’s direct rival, the Tata Punch, is longer than the Hyundai’s micro SUV, but falls short in terms of wheelbase and boot space figures.
– Understandably, Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite subcompact SUVs are longer and wider than the rest of the cars here but it’s the Citroen C3 that claims the longest wheelbase.
– The Kiger’s boot offers the highest luggage loading capacity, followed by the Hyundai Exter, which has the second-highest boot space among all the models in this comparison.

### Powertrain

| Specs | Hyundai Exter | Tata Punch | Citroen C3 | Maruti Ignis | Renault Kiger/ Nissan Magnite |
|——-|————-|————|————|————–|——————————-|
| Engine | 1.2-litre Petrol | 1.2-litre Petrol +CNG | 1.2-litre Petrol | 1.2-litre Petrol | 1.2-litreTurbo Petrol |
| Power | 83PS | 69PS | 88PS | 82PS | 110PS |
| Torque | 114Nm | 95Nm | 115Nm | 115Nm | 190Nm |
| Transmission | 5MT, 5AMT | 5MT | 5MT, 5AMT | 5MT | 6MT, 5MT, CVT |

![Tata Punch Engine](https://stimg.cardekho.com/pwa/img/spacer3x2.png)

– All these models except the Renault-Nissan twins offer a 1.2-litre petrol engine. However, the Hyundai Exter is the only model here to also offer a CNG option (at this time).
– The output figures and transmission options for the Maruti Ignis and Hyundai Exter petrol are almost identical. They are also the only models here to offer a four-cylinder engine which offers more refinement than the three-cylinder units of the others.
– If you want performance, it’s the C3’s turbo-petrol engine with the most power and torque and the only one to offer a 6-speed transmission.
– Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite on the other hand come with smaller 1-litre naturally aspirated petrol (72PS and 96Nm) and 1-litre turbo petrol (100PS and up to 160Nm) engines. The turbo variants of these subcompact SUVs also come with the option of a CVT automatic transmission, unlike other models which only have the option of an AMT gearbox.
– The Tata Punch is due to get a CNG option later in the year, differentiated from the Exter CNG with its twin-cylinder setup for a bigger boot.

### Feature Highlights

![Hyundai Exter Interior](https://stimg.cardekho.com/pwa/img/spacer3x2.png)

– It is the Hyundai Exter that offers a more comprehensive list of features, with many, like a sunroof, dual-cameras dash cam, and six airbags as standard, being segment firsts.
– Tata Punch is also a well-packaged offering and comes with features such as rain-sensing wipers, traction modes, and 16-inch alloy wheels over the Hyundai micro SUV.
– Nissan Magnite is the only offering in the segment which comes with a 360-degree camera while the Citroen hatchback gets the biggest touchscreen unit here.
– Renault Kiger comes with up to four airbags, while Tata Punch, Maruti Ignis, and Citroen C3 only get the mandated dual front airbags. Even so, the Punch is the only model here with a five-star safety rating from the Global NCAP crash tests.
– Even though the Maruti Ignis is the most dated offering here, it still covers all the basic requirements. At the same time, the C3 has even fewer creature comforts to offer, despite the additional tech over the Maruti model.

### Prices

![Hyundai Exter](https://stimg.cardekho.com/pwa/img/spacer3x2.png)

The Hyundai Exter is priced quite similarly to the Tata Punch while at the top-end, the Renault and Nissan subcompact SUVs are more expensive. Meanwhile, the Ignis is the least expensive model in this comparison, followed by the Citroen C3. We have also compared the prices of the Hyundai Exter with its rivals in detail [here](https://www.cardekho.com/india-car-news/hyundai-exter-vs-tata-punch-citroen-c3-and-others-price-comparison-31118.htm).
