Can't think of anything for now. I have a 2017 Hyundai Creta SX(O) which have the same issue and I have got used to it. It is that initial honeymoon period with the car where it makes life uncomfortable after that period passes, hands reach the required place automatically.

If you do decide to change tyres, talk to the tyre dealers beforehand and inform that you shall drive straight to their shop after taking delivery. This will fetch you good resale on the OEM tyres. Any delay, the buyback price will drop.

No there isn't but there is a jugaad to it. You can go for neon Vinyl stickers which make it easier to find the switches in the dark.

Available on AliExpress for a fairly reasonable price even though it has risen due to currency ambiguity IMO (shipping is on the higher side due to COVID but should settle down in a month or two)

Enquired with my local dealer who sent me pics of 2 EX variants in red and white colour he managed to sell yesterday. Told him to let me know when they have an EX at the dealership again.

Wonder when the introductory prices will change.

Can anyone confirm if the Creta Diesel E Variant has provision on the doors to install speakers? In the case of the lowest HTE variant of the Seltos, it turns out that speakers cannot be installed as the slots provided inside the doors were dummy slots.

The Creta Diesel E variant is great value at 9.99 lakhs, but for the absence of at least an audio system.

I have a HTE and strangely enough it can make sounds from those dummy slotted speakers :P Actually it does have replaceable speakers and only tweeters are missing with dummy slots.

14% for Turbo Petrol seems to be a good number - especially the Turbo option is offered only in top 2 version.

Saw a white Creta from the rear today.
Damn, that thing has presence.
It's not pretty. It's very in your face. The Seltos manages to blend in, this one manages to stand out.

I had been to Sapna Book House on Residency road and then stepped into the Advaith Hyundai next door. They had a Black Creta 2020, DCT top end.
In my view the front and side is ok, the rear is a different story. The interior of the top end is just gorgeous. The full LCD Instrument cluster is really cool.
On road in Bangalore 21.5L approx.

I just love the interior. With my current lease ending in a year i got time for the car to grown on me.

Watched the first review, eager to hear more about the Diesel engine+ MT performance but was totally disappointed with the shallow commentary. The guy just says “Torque hai, power bhi hai, refined hai” and then goes on to say it is “balanced” and adds “punchy” as an after thought! And just when one is looking for a better explanation of all these mumbo-jumbo words, he stops talking about the drivetrain altogether! Nothing about the midrange, nothing about the top end, no acceleration or braking figures, nothing about shift quality, nothing about rpm levels at which various speeds are achieved, nothing about in-gear acceleration or how the various gears behave! Leave alone fuel efficiency, NVH measurement, behaviour under load, clutch hardness or any of the more insightful aspects.

Pathetic quality of the youtube video reviews these days, shows why a forum like team-bhp is so important.

I will fully agree. Most of the youtube videos are superfluous. But I still happen to watch some of them, albeit on mute, because, at least some of them, cover every nook and corner of the car which is like a virtual tour.
