Should You Wait For Upcoming Hyundai Cars Or Buy an Existing Model?

The Hyundai Ioniq P will make sense for buyers looking for an affordable yet premium electric SUV priced below Rs 15 lakh. However, its battery capacity, range and features are yet to be announced.

The next-generation Hyundai Creta will certainly be an upgrade for SUV buyers as it will come with more modern design language, advanced technology, additional features and a strong hybrid powertrain. On the other hand, the existing Creta offers only petrol and diesel engine options. It will also be smaller and less spacious than the upcoming new model.

Budget-conscious buyers looking for a small car could consider waiting for the next-generation Hyundai i10.

As details of the upcoming Hyundai MPV and 7-seater SUV are scanty at the moment, it would be early to give a buying recommendation.
