re: Review: Hyundai Creta (1st-gen)

I am planning to buy a car through my company as it would help me save good amount of tax. But the condition is that Ex-factory price must not be more than 9 Lakhs.

The Creta prices on Hyundai website are Ex-showroom (which would be higher than Ex-Factory price):

Petrol 1.6L S ----> 957,062
Petrol 1.6L SX+ ----> 1,119,548

Is it possible to get the ex-factory price for above two models so that I could understand if Creta can fit my bill or if should look for some other car?

The Hyundai Creta continues it's strong run in monthly sales by racking up 7,320 units as dealer dispatches for the month of September 2015, and placing itself in the top 10 volume sellers again, at the 8th position.

poor Duster is not in the list, looks like Creta single handily killed Duster?

re: Review: Hyundai Creta (1st-gen)

Guys! My Creta is pulling to the left when I try to drive it on a straight line. When I asked the service advisor he says that he needs to flash the ECU and reprogram it. Has anyone faced similar issue on your vehicle?

Hyundai Creta : Official Review

With the launch of Scorpio AT with CVT and both with 4x4 and 2x2 MM is going to make a dent in the figures here! Especially for the Automatic variant numbers.

MSN report here:

Usually ex-factory + 14.5% VAT is given as ex-showroom, that's what I got from my proforma invoice under company car purchase. You can calculate with that base.

Thanks @lovetorque.
This means SX+ is out of equation.

By the way, what about excise? Is it applicable on units built in India too? And if yes, then is it included in ex factory price or ex showroom price? I hope its turns out to be latter giving me an outside chance

Now need to look what all differences are there in petrol SX+ and S in case I opt for S.

They must be completely out of their minds

This is an alignment / balancing issue. Pls. take it to a reputed tyre balancing /alignment outlet and they should fix it

Their explanation did make sense to me. They say since the Steering is an EPS unit, the sensors need to be calibrated. And this is supposedly a "reported" issue for which hyundai has released a software patch.

re: Review: Hyundai Creta (1st-gen)

Just returned from seeing the Creta. Possibly the one Hyundai vehicle I can actually see in my garage (also due to lack of options) with decent seating and suspension.
Only sore point was that the A/T is nearly 18L on road with a 5 month waiting period!!

re: Review: Hyundai Creta (1st-gen)

I would like to know the correct tire pressure for the Creta,normal and full load. Not the normal air but Nitrogen.
I have an SX Diesel and I am just Loving this car Immensely. I had a Duster 85ps and loved that care but found the handling to be better on the Creta and very much satisfied with the features that come in this Model. Anybody looking to buy, pls go ahead, you wont regret your decision.

re: Review: Hyundai Creta (1st-gen)

Got my grey creta automatic last week. Everything there is to know about the car has already been said in this thread. But one thing i just cant get over is the brilliant NVH levels. Never experienced such a quiet diesel engine. Imagine how much quieter it would be if there was a hood sound dampener in the front??

Added original genous leather seats. Tan leather colour. Looks a bit like the BMW saddle brown colour.
