Hyundai CretavsMG Hector
The Creta base variant undercuts the Hector on price while packing more standard safety kit (6 airbags plus ESP, TCS, hill hold and idle start-stop) and a far richer connectivity/lighting feature set for the money. The Hector counters with a bigger body, longer wheelbase, and a notably stronger turbo-petrol engine (141bhp/250Nm vs 113bhp/143.8Nm) for buyers who prioritise space and outright performance over equipment and value.
