| ![]() Great Review. As always!! A beautiful looking car but oh my a pricey offering. Car this size at the given price range should ideally come with all the mechanical goodies along with the creature comfort (which again is far from complete). I often am forced to think if it's us (the buyers) or the car companies (the sellers) who is ignorant? We realize the price is high for the car but the sales number contradict that notion!! We have, in the past rejected pricey but excellent vehicles to the likes of Mitsubishi's/Ford's/Fiat's. Has something changed now? Is it the purchasing power, or the class factor, or the love for looks, or is it what I like to call a Zombie effect :-) I still believe it's a great car and surely a performer. It's just the value for money aspect that makes me wonder! |

| ![]() Superb review as usual. I have thought about why people are ready to pay a premium for a good product but not for a great product from other brands. 1. Single car families: Most families have one car and this car has to be an allrounder. Unlike western countries where people have multiple cars. So our country seeks the best compromise. 2. Buying power: Developed countries have two advantages a)cost of the car for the salaries they earn and the credit for buying new car (USA has 1-2% interest rate compared to 9-10% in India) 3. Used car market: India's used car market is slowly improving, but in the western countries this is an advantage as they can dispose the car easily. In India we see what will give the best resale value for our car. 4. Reliability: More of notion than fact, we feel Japanese cars are more reliable than the euro, true, but the gap is over exaggerated. 5. Status: At least a few neighbors should feel jealous and we should not look like fools buying a non-popular car. So when we make a purchase decision it has to match a lot of criteria than just the engineering. Maruti and Hyundai know this and using it much to their advantage. Honda going the same way.

Under 10 lakhs, the head rules over the heart. Over 10 lakhs, its the opposite. There is no need the Creta fulfills that the Verna or City don't. But it's the "SUV" styling, higher seating position etc. As is evidenced by the sales figures, people "want" the Creta. | |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Not even manja just any crash or sudden halt will mean that kids end up breaking their ribs or snapping their necks while standing out through the sunroof. As educated folk we should not have to see these things happening to recognize the possibility of their occurrence. Last edited by GTO : 6th July 2018 at 17:04.

Did the facelift improved on the breaking? This is another major complaint that the ABS is too sensitive and makes the driver nervous during emergency breaking ![]() | |

I realize that in my driving journey of 10 years, I had become a better driver. We all like to believe we are the best drivers and that car manufacturers have poor clutches. (For all you know, someone who had a clutch replacement at 3k kms might have driven with handbrake for 100 km without knowing). Clutch longevity is mostly a function of the driver and the driving conditions. | |

| ![]() There's a fair amount of agreeable appreciation for certain qualities of the Creta, however it's just that the alternatives have improved since the Creta was launched and with the omission of some 'nice to have' features (which people generally expect from a Hyundai), IMHO there are different alternatives for people willing to cross-shop. Capable machines like the XUV & Hexa aren't far away & to be honest, they're each capable (& significantly more spacious) compared to the Creta in many ways & do have a premium image as well. Anyway, Hyundai could've enticed ALOT more people who are shopping in that price range by just offering additional warranty & maybe an AMC plan, like Toyota! My 2˘.

| ![]() Thats really a fastastic review Aditya! Smart watch concept instead of key is going to be trend setter. Proud of you Hyundai. However, IMO, I feel Hyundai should have taken care of below points * Hard keys around MID should have been avoided and be made as part of MID itself so that user gets the feel of touch screen MID to the full extent. * Rubber cover over USB. I think its a miss out by Hyundai rather than a cost cut :P * The complete console of wireless charging, charging socket & USB should have covered with atleast a flip kind of stuff inorder to get saved from kids or accidental habit of dropping the keys/wallets/other stuff in the cars. * Sunroof should have been of enough size instead of providing a small and inadequate one. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Hyundai is only following the trend here - the concept was first shown by TATA with the Nexon last year. Last edited by CrAzY dRiVeR : 6th July 2018 at 16:27. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | ![]() My friend drove the diesel AT and he wasn't impressed (loved the manual though) with the overall experience. Went ahead and bought the Tucson ![]() Quote:
2. That was one useful space gone to accommodate wireless charger. They could have integrated in the armrest. I would have hated this since I don't have wireless charging option in my phone and this space would have been wasted ![]() | |

I personally would settle for something like Nexon or Brezza else would pick one from the options mentioned by you. | |
