I’m looking to buy a car within a budget of 6.5 million PKR and have narrowed my options down to:

Hyundai Elantra GLS
Honda Civic X RS Turbo

My decision will be based on the following key factors:

Features & Comfort
Car Performance (minimal maintenance required)
Fuel Efficiency

Please help me reach a decision feel free to recommend some other option too (Not Corolla as it lacks a lot of features and the generation is too old now)

If i was you, id ad MG HS to the list too.

Since you've already cutted off Corolla.

Which variant of MG HS? Also, the biggest reason i want to avoid MG HS is its fuel average, my friend got it back in 2022 and he had to change it since the car gave a fuel average of 8-9 only. Would love to know your experience.

Thanks for your opinion, can you please specify the reasons for your choice too?

I would choose Elantra as it has good comfort and better features like power seats, dual zone climate and more.

Performance wise, nothing beats turbo although 2.0 had plenty of power to keep up with traffic along with having better fuel economy than Civic.

Not sure about the variants, but iguess the CBU units trophy variants.

Should be easily avaliable in your budget.

Also, Civic X won't return average more then 8 / 10 kmpl.

A good Civic X can return 12+ kmpl. I have one and this is what I get in mixed KHI traffic in winters.

My 2 cents would be;

Civic X turbo would be your pick for performance also cheaper maintenance,
Elantra for comfort,
MG HS for Features

Fuel efficiency wise you aren't looking at the most economical cars, would be a slight edge to Elantra I'm guessing.

MG won't give you performance nor fuel efficiency so maybe stay clear of that. (Talking strictly 1.5L because of budget).

I'd say go for civic, although if you get a good deal on an Elantra it would not be a bad choice either.
