Ok being an Elevate Zx MT owner for past 5 months here are my verdict. Honda on the whole a value for money car. Pros: 1. Roomey and posh interior. 2. Sufficient power to overtake and enjoy. Not like turbo. But still more than enough 3. i-VTEC simply superb 4. Good headlights. Not the best but good alfor night driving. Note: I am spectacle user and I have good visibility at night. 5. AC is very good 6. Auto dimming IRVM is good 7. They claim 8 speakers. But actually 4 speakers and 4 tweeters. Alpine infotainment. Sound is really good. Foolish to compare with Sony, Bose, Harman etc 8. A humongous boot space. I'm 6foot 100 kg person. I can fit in the boot easily. 9. Pulling power with fully loaded is very good. I'm 100kg 6 foot person. Plus 4 adults it easily pulls. 10. Fuel Efficiency is good. I get 12km/h in city bumper to bumper. Highways around 15.7ish. speeds in highway around 90-95ish. 11. ADAS is simply useful in highways. Cons: 1. I don't like sunroof. It's unnecessary 2. Reverse camera and lane watch camera clarity could've been better. It's not the great neither worse. 3. Missing 360 degree camera 4. Underthigh support could've been better. 5. Middle row rear seat could've been better 6. Nvh is there. Could've been better. Not the great. Not the worse too.. 7. Horn sucks honestly. People see that as a Activa horn 🤣 8. ADAS doesn't get permanent switch off. Each restart you need to turn off the ADAs manually. But annoying. But ok for me Overall I am more than satisfied. I would rate 8.5 of 10..👏🏻👏🏻
I am unable to understand why most reviewers like you guys are totally biased about Creta. While I have nothing against Creta, the Taigun & Elevate are excellent vehicles & each of them have their own USP. Taigun’ excellent driving dynamics, ride & handling, safety & a very smooth 4th generation Torque converter are best in class, Honda’ reliability & best in class when it comes to Naturally Aspirated engine & the best CVT offered with minimum rubber band effect in its class and Creta’ overall engine refinement, excellent look-n-feel interiors with excellent feature offerings are best in class. These are the USPs of each of these vehicles in offering, which was not shared with the audience at all! Anyone, depending on their individual requirements & budget can opt for any of these vehicles. All of them are excellent vehicles having unique USPs.
We haven't been biased. The Creta ticks more boxes as per our standard scoring system. We have also done our best to highlight the pros and cons of all the cars here.
Well to undertand you need to go and test drive these vehicles. Ivt on the hyundai is better than honda cvt. Honda reliability is overrated. Ask any honda owner on their regular service cost. And 100-0 is not the only parameter that determines brakes. Brake feel, bite all matter. Also drum brakes show deteriorated braking performance on a long drive. Discs cool off faster.
That’s cuz creta is a well rounded product. Hondas after sales service n reliability is overrated. Atleast in today’s times. Yes it was good like 10 yrs back or something. Hyundai has eclipsed Honda long back in terms of feel good factor, peace of mind, desirability, badge value n fit n finish. As for the driving dynamics, none of these cars are gonna run on racetracks anyway so that’s fine.
@akshatrockport Hyundai turbo petrol have far fewer issues than Taigun/Kushaq. And Hyundai after sales is really good on top of that. TSI DSG holds the Guinness world record for maximum issues along with their pathetic after sales service. There are no two ways there.
@@kargo1517 Hyundai DSG sucks in the mountains. All Cretas and i20s get warned and need to be stopped on the side of the road on a freaking expressway because the gearbox overheated. Seen it with my own eyes. Check your facts man.
Elevate has more than 10% better breaking performance compared to creta , yet same score there. Furthermore, Elevate again has over 15% advantage over other two in city fuel efficiency, and yet you rated it worst there like the breaking before..why the hate towards honda? ! Did hyundai sponsor this ?
@@The_Wanderer916please go and experience the new creta. It does not feel cheap at all and with the reinforced structure it should fare well. Stop blindly believing the ncap star ratings.
People say elevate has the best suspension but creta is not at par and ranks before in the segment. People say Taigun doesn't have a great ride quality. But you say creta has best suspension setup and that taigun is most comfortable for long journeys. Is very confusing. Can someone with experience with these cars throw knowledge.
Well, he is right. Elevate has good ride quality and suspension travel but there is a lot of side to side movement at slow speeds because of higher ground clearance. Taigun is stiffer but the stability it provides is great Creta has the best low speed ride. Not much side to side movement. But on the highways it can get a bit soft when loaded with 5 people + luggage
Don’t listen to this shitty auto journalist who is completely bias and doesn’t care about real GEM. I would suggest you should visit showroom personally and take a trial for all the cars and it will be easier you to understand which car is better
@kargo1517 I am specifically referring to the boot space, not the backseat or interior space. The measurement of boot space isn’t consistent across all brands. For instance, the Kiger and Magnite are identical in size, yet their official boot space figures, as provided by their respective OEMs, differ. Some manufacturers measure up to the roof, while others stop at the parcel tray. Visit and compare both, and you’ll see why I mentioned this. Thanks!
@vikasjain268 Understood bro. Creta/Seltos have a larger boot space both by size and volume compared to Taigun/Kushaq. Not sure what you talking about.
@@kargo1517 respect your opinion, but I’d suggest checking both, and you’ll see the difference. The Taigun’s boot space is more practical. For reference, you can find plenty of videos on RUclips, such as Motorinc or boot space comparisons from CarDekho. But that’s okay-cheers!
Going by Videos I have purchased Honda Elevate . Car is good but After Service is worst. See rating of Surat and Bharuch Honda service have disturbing rating and I have experienced the same. Thinking of replacing Honda solely on Service and after sales issues.
1.0 L tiagun is better in acceleration ( as per the data shown in this video) & braking than 1.5 NA creta & elevate ( no hate to any car here… all3 are amazing) Just imagine 1.5L tiagun ( Although it competes with 1.5L creta turbo )
@@The_Wanderer916 Transmission can only do what the engine allows it to. Take a same engine and yes torque converter will be faster than CVT. But here the engine itself is weaker due to being 3 cylinder 1 liter. So below 3000 RPM the CVT of Creta/Elevate will be faster. Common sense hai ki nahi bhai?
@@Mr_PussiFirst of all, turbo kicks in at around 2000 RMP. And secondly, just because of turbo lag in the low RPM range, you cannot label a the CVT gearbox overall better than the TC. TC wins over CVT in many other areas.
Whats the real world mileage of Elevate in Metro City driving conditions..My driving is mostly in them , Unlike yours on Empty Highways without any traffic or red lights for Video making purpose👆😜
Sadly, neither of these three SUVs make as much power/torque as my 2017 Subaru Impreza nor are they safer. Poor value offerings. Avoid the VW if you care about reliability and total cost of ownership. Driver friendly in this class is an oxymoron at best!
lol don’t go with there verdict. Any car be perfect for you that fits your needs . I know they get paid by media house of car companies else they will post negative reviews 😂
Acceleration & Drivability should’ve been an 8 on the Taigun and of course safety has gotta be a 10.. Hyundai and Honda simply can’t match up to the Driving dynamics and safety of the Volkswagen !
You are fully bias in your video and how can you get 0-100 in 11 seconds for elevate and creta ? Other branded auto journalist claim 0-100 around 15-16 seconds for creta and elevate.. this shows how bad your review is.. also this shows how are trying to support your promoters 😂😂 Taigun & Kushaq can reach 0-100 within 11 seconds.. not even 11.2 seconds…
I only wish Elevate got traction in the real world sales figures as much as it gets in comments on such videos.
Yes it definitely should sell much more
Honda keeps increasing prices 😂😂stupid strategy
Test drive and you will immediately notice how much wind noise comes into the elevate cabin due to cost cutting on insulation
Its ugly AF
40 liter fuel tank is too small for long journey okay for city though, and switching of ADAS at every start seems annoying
Ok being an Elevate Zx MT owner for past 5 months here are my verdict.
Honda on the whole a value for money car.
Pros:
1. Roomey and posh interior.
2. Sufficient power to overtake and enjoy. Not like turbo. But still more than enough
3. i-VTEC simply superb
4. Good headlights. Not the best but good alfor night driving. Note: I am spectacle user and I have good visibility at night.
5. AC is very good
6. Auto dimming IRVM is good
7. They claim 8 speakers. But actually 4 speakers and 4 tweeters. Alpine infotainment. Sound is really good. Foolish to compare with Sony, Bose, Harman etc
8. A humongous boot space. I'm 6foot 100 kg person. I can fit in the boot easily.
9. Pulling power with fully loaded is very good. I'm 100kg 6 foot person. Plus 4 adults it easily pulls.
10. Fuel Efficiency is good. I get 12km/h in city bumper to bumper. Highways around 15.7ish. speeds in highway around 90-95ish.
11. ADAS is simply useful in highways.
Cons:
1. I don't like sunroof. It's unnecessary
2. Reverse camera and lane watch camera clarity could've been better. It's not the great neither worse.
3. Missing 360 degree camera
4. Underthigh support could've been better.
5. Middle row rear seat could've been better
6. Nvh is there. Could've been better. Not the great. Not the worse too..
7. Horn sucks honestly. People see that as a Activa horn 🤣
8. ADAS doesn't get permanent switch off. Each restart you need to turn off the ADAs manually. But annoying. But ok for me
Overall I am more than satisfied. I would rate 8.5 of 10..👏🏻👏🏻
Great job summing up the car. It is a good buy overall.
@@tuhinguha8758 thank you 👏🏻✌🏻
Elevate is a All-rounder 👍
@@SMB_11 yes it is sir!!
Why are you talking about Boot space and you fitting in there? Seems sus to me 😂
HONDA ELEVATE❤❤
Elevate is emotion❤❤❤❤
Elevate is best for city & highway both. VW is best for highway. Creta is just for city not for highway due to build quality.
This is the most stupid comment I have read today 😂😂

@tuhinguha8758 How do you give safety ratings same for all? So you think Global NCAP ratings do not matter

Taigun is safest & then you give safety 8 to all 3! 🤦♂
The Taigun has the rating but our score is an overall one that also considers safety features
They would have brought ADAS into account. I own a Taigun and I feel it’s a rock solid car than others
@@tuhinguha8758 nonsense-- GLobal NCAP Taigun is 5 star rated. and you pack cars with 10 Airbags yet won't get 5 star
Dude just stop going blindly behind this Global Ncap crap
NCAP is like the Oscars 😂
Taigun owner since Feb 2024 & Polo owner since Jan 2011... For me, VW is an emotion.
❤
VW/Skoda is the most shit brand in India currently 😂😂
Honda elevate is the best in this section ❤❤❤❤
Creta is the most dead feeling car I've driven in this segment. Taigun on the other hand does best in transmission and handling, engine is not bad.
The Taigun is most fun, Creta most convenient
Taigun is best in service centres but Creta is best on roads 😂😂

Why no Grand Vitara and Taigun 1.5 in this comparison?
How is this compared to Creta N Line?
creta N LINE is gonna suck your money out for more petrol there you go
Taigun's boot space is more practical than the Creta, don’t worry about the specs, just give it a try!

Honda elevate zx cvt best of all

I will choose Honda Elevate !
Complete package with all features Hyundai Creta is best value for money!
You are comparing a 1.5 ltr engine with a 1.0 liter.
Why not VW Taigun 1.5ltr?
The 1.5 is naturally aspirated with specs close to the Taigun 1.0 litre, not 1.5
1.0 L tiagun is better in acceleration ( as per the data shown in this video) & braking than 1.5 NA creta & elevate ( no hate to any car here… all3 are amazing)
Just imagine 1.5L tiagun ( Although it competes with 1.5L creta turbo )
Could b bcz of 20 lacs budget
Taigun doesn’t have 360 cameras
Its heared from the expert about the flexibility of #Hondaelevate Honda ivtec engines, in 3rd gear it reaches upto 150 kmph
This was the cvt but Honda engines are known for their driveability
Joke of the day 😂😂😂😂
Ok bhai, keep driving in 3rd gear.
So you're saying Creta and elevate's CVT is better than Taigun's TC in terms of power delivery and quick response?
Non sense journalist this guy is … it’s like Bandar Kya jane adrak ka swaad 😂
Yes coz Taigun 1.0 engine with TC has turbo lag. It lacks low end punch. Power is delivered only when turbo kicks in.

How creta is more edficient than eleavte and taigun
Taigun is best in its segment
It's the most pathetic SUV in the segment today 😂😂
Elevate 🔥 😊
Why is GV or Hyryder not a part if this test ?
We've already done a separate story with the hybrids. For logistical reasons kept them out of this one
Whats the real world mileage of Elevate in Metro City driving conditions..My driving is mostly in them , Unlike yours on Empty Highways without any traffic or red lights for Video making purpose👆😜
The testing was done separately. Of course we can't be shooting and testing at the same time 😅
Ride and space for elevate is not proper it shoukd be a point higher
U are comparing high end models then should have comapred 1.5 dsg rather than 1.0 in taigun
Best in class creta
Taigun
Elevate ❤❤
Ivtec ❤❤❤
C3 Aircross might be a better package at that price.
best car: Honda Elevate. discussion finished
True, hope the same reflects in sales figures
Elevate, anyday
Vw any day

It is

Guys i feel like you should take about the car while driving that car itself. This is very confusing
Honda actually sucks. The engine is sweet for a product like city but definitely detuned for elevate.
Why is Citroen Aircross not included in this review? After the recent update, it seems to be a better product. Biased journos!!

Even better go for force gurkha . These softy men cant own real suv's
If you have 20 lakhs go for harrier or scorpio . Real suv men cars . This is BS toy cars for children.
