Hyundai Creta vs. Honda Elevate: Comparison of the two vehicles' designs

The new Honda Elevate sports a butch look overall, an upright grille, svelte headlamps, and boxy wheel arches. The Honda Elevate stands out in the sector thanks to the wide grille, which also takes design inspirations from the HR-V and CR-V models marketed in international markets.

The Creta's design is self-explanatory because it has been in use for a while and is overdue for an upgrade. The Hyundai Creta has a distinctive look that sets it apart from the other cars in this class.
