Hyundai Elantra facelift vs Honda Civic vs Skoda Octavia | Comparison Test | Autocar India

[@shrikantdeshmukh9575]

I drive a Skoda Octavia LnK. It’s a car that brings a smile on your face every time you rev the engine - it’s simply too quick to be true!

[@preetammahanna8572]

reliability is less...

[@pranay4915]

Old Elantra looked beautiful. It's Already not selling much and they have made it bad looking which will dupe down sales more!

[@bonnygeorge621]

Yes,the fluidic was such a beauty !

[@mohitroy.0609]

Totally agree, I too think the old Elantra looks way too good than this new one

[@arvindfluidic]

Yeah, After the Elantra Facelift, monthly sales have dropped to less than 100..

[@phonesandgadgetsreviewfore9794]

Exactly nobody would like to choose new Elantra because down in design gives much artificial look and two other looks way better compared to it

[@shobhitsharma6383]

Civic's chassis dynamic (handling) & the Octavia's engine And powertrain. There is the perfect sedan.

[@manishtripathi4097]

And the features from Elantra

[@atithyapatra9551]

We want skoda features in civic body with Elantra pricing ....😂

[@swamausarswargiary]

exactly

[@zaki674]

Good wishing bro 😃😃😃

[@hemantrix]

Hahaha true true

[@nyuon9247]

It’s an irony that the VERNA is so much prettier than the new ELANTRA.

[@RipsonDsouza]

Not for long. The new Verna looks hideous!

[@arvindfluidic]

The upcoming Verna Facelift looks worse than the current Elantra..

[@phonesandgadgetsreviewfore9794]

Yes this irony was good till 2019 but current gen 2020 doesn't have feel in design like next gen verna of 2017 -19. It looks more artificial in design than mature now

[@RajeshSingh-yq7eq]

Octavia 1.8TSi gem of engine 😉

good days those.. what an amazing car it was 🔥

[@navjot706]

True mate that thing was a class!

[@TheWAP5]

What do you miss about that boat? It was good for it time and all about straight line speed.

[@nalinjain297]

It was in the class of Verna, corolla, vento, ciaz, not comparable to the ones featured here.

[@krishnaprasad7649]

nalin jain Cruze was compared with Civic Elantra Octavia Jetta and Corolla 😄 And verna Ciaz City Vento Rapid and Toyota Yaris comes with that segment Corolla will not come with that line 😁

[@krishnags1]

Civic & Elantra needs 50% more power to catch OCTAVIA

[@shantanu4455]

That's savage man

[@aquaboy1650]

In the other market Civic has 1.5T engine with 174 HP with around 8 sec 0 to 100 km/h.

[@1995kalai]

ok boomer

[@shivanshspamid8556]

Indian civic(self tested) 0-100 9 seconds.

[@TJSaw]

ZEUS Gaming why are you lying? The civic takes 11.5 seconds to reach 100 kmph

[@TJSaw]

The next Octavia is going to be light years ahead of the competition.

[@NatRollin]

Octavia's grunty engine & butter smooth gearshifts, Civic's looks & reliability, *Hyundai's* features & after sales service. *Guess we can omit the Elantra altogether then* 😁🤭

[@jashmodi]

Octavia's shifts are fast, not smooth. Torque converters are way smoother.

[@nithishjvj8736]

That awkward moment when you realize that the last gen Civic which came almost 11 years ago does 0-100 in 8 to 8.5 seconds which is almost 4 seconds quicker than the new boy.......

[@shivanshrastogi3860]

The new one(bs4) can do it in 9, I have done that

Octavia is superb for both self driving and chauffeuring which other two cars lacks. Octavia provides both world sporty and executive comfort.

Honda civic diesel is the best complete package , the most reliable , most fuel efficient(i got 24kmpl) , most agile, lowest maintenance (japanese brand) , very very stable , best rear seat comfort , less noise engine than octavia diesel , great aerodynamic design , on papers it is low power but on highway it is a beast , enough power , we buy cars for driving not for racing , and many many reasons to go for HONDA Civic diesel , cockpit design , darker interiors than other two,MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS THE BEST FOR LONG HIGHWAY DRIVE , keeps you engaged, Happy Highway Cruising

[@alnauim8133]

along all the 3 of sedan Skoda Octavia brings out the best feature and classy look

[@hari8595]

[@buntyno1]

I will pick Octavia any day...

After all these years octavia is still the feature loaded and most powerful from the bunch.

Always the way Autocar India team explains every single thing about every vehicle. Skoda Octavia my favourite . Waiting for the new one to launch in India

[@bijoychakraborty9941]

Octavia looks luxurious

[@phonesandgadgetsreviewfore9794]

Look the design of new civic . Its mind boggling

[@rajdeepnath1633]

At this price, sedans are much better than fake SUVs. They drive better, have big boots and looks also 'class'.

[@gaganhk8176]

Yeah man the SUVs are pretty much glorified hatchbacks.

[@KanwarAnand]

I own a five year old elantra but I’d love to try an octavia or superb. Not that I can afford that right now.

[@ssahoo5500]

Elantra has always been the most value for money sedan in it's class comparative ly. But Octavia is for enthausiasts. It's 1.8tsi is a gem But worst thing is that upcoming new gen Octavia will not meet bs6 means it's 1.8tsi will be discontinued ☹️ Civic is more dynamic than the Octavia and Elantra But still some cost cuttings are there which isn't acceptable for a car of this price Overall if you want a sedan at 22lakhs Elantra is the only one u should go with If money doesn't matter then Octavia is the one

[@akksakku5733]

Octavia always 🤟✌️ Skoda 😍😍😍

[@neerajchelat894]

The biggest drawback of the civic will be its CVT transmission . Honda should have given it a mannual version as well.

[@dhruvsinghpal8737]

these cars are fair and square to each other in overall stats including after sales but i want to say VTEC is vtec nothing can beat.

[@vidurmedepalli9085]

the 2020 honda city looks exactly like the current civic

[@rigpathak]

Octavia is far better for sure but ya civic has got massive road presence and elentra no chance to come closure to these beast🤟🤟

[@varunsharma1409]

Octavia Any Day🙃

[@sonalikaraut9152]

Hehe i wanna skoda...is 💪 everyone knows that.😇

[@shetty8425]

The skoda is a great car. however Skoda has always had the following issues 1. Shortage of Authorised Service centers and spares availability. 2. Resale value 3. High cost of maintenance... Hyundai on the other hand has an upper hand here....

[@baseljorty8981]

Skoda has poor resale value.Otherwise I would go for Octavia.

[@sobysunny123]

Now u chose Maruti Alto?

[@grtraders3971]

Above 20 lak ly one car had good revalue is innova

[@srinew27]

Service cost is also to high

I think u should go for TATA NANO

#Hyundai is best...value fr money....Elantra is best❤❤❤

[@vishwasps8877]

I test drove Civic, I missed manual transmission, it definitely needs manual gear box for that " ivtec kicked in yo" but the car looks 🔥🔥🔥. For the price tag it carries, it misses out a hell lot of features... But I love this car...💓

India needs an affordable hot hatch asap! Car enthusiasts are evolving at a fast pace but the market is still dull. The super cars are too expensive whereas the affordable ones are not up to the mark, performance wise.

[@erpexpert]

Elantra Design Lead, is that you?

[@adityasundar324]

The Octavia is an awesome car, until you own it and regret getting one. I mean, I wonder how any sane person would spend 25L on a car knowing very will that AS&S is going to be horrendous. Only an enthusiast who is willing to spend considerable amount of time and money would get one. The Civic and Elantra makes more practical sense. And when Honda brings their Turbo Civic and Hyundai brings their Turbo with DCT, Octy's sale would slump even further. Considering the fact that the new gen Creta comes with a 1.4 Turbo Petrol and DCT, I won't be surprised if the next gen Elantra comes with a bigger Turbo Petrol and DCT.

Elantra 2021 is way more better then this elantra 2020 Hyundai knew they messed so they released elantra 2021 quickly this year only you should check out it looks different now.

[@adityasundar324]

The Skoda's After sales and service is questionable and no one in that price range would want that. I would prefer the elantra over the Octavia (for all reasons but for the performance). But things would change if Hyundai brings in the 1.6 Turbo and you can see the Skoda sales drop like a mosquito hitting a bat !
