Also, Hyundai cars have never been driver's cars. The steering feedback is the worst and brake bite has been mellow. However, I'd differ with you on turbo lag. Hyundai's VGT is probably better than most turbo engines in its class. The power is extremely linear and is improving with every new launch.

Crazy engine (in a good way) + short gearing, makes this car a sprinter. Get the timing correct and you'll have to be worried if you'll rear-end someone. Power is available at all times but it is brakes on this car that make the driver sweat. ![]() You need to spend a bit more time with the vehicle IMHO, which is when you'll realise what type of car it is in '1st gear'. Above 6-7 kmph, I upshift to 2nd gear and let it chug along (no lugging!). Suggest you to get/rent another car when possible, and drive around to know the difference. May be one you got on Zoom Car was not maintained properly. | |

| ![]() Hi Creta owners , I wanted to describe a bit of a embarrassing incident which happened yesterday with my Creta 1.6CRDI Sx MT. While going to office in the rush hour Hi Tech City traffic in Hyderabad, the gears got stuck and would not shift to any gear from neutral. I switched off the car a couple of times but still, gear did not move when I again swicthed on. The clutch pedal was fully engaged all the time. Suddenly , like a magic, the reverse gear engaged and then on all other gears engaged properly. Entire episode lasted about 2-3 minutes. In the evening I took it to the Kun Hyundai service centre in Gachibowli. The first comment which the service centre guy made was that the clutch was quite "hard". Graduating from a Vento diesel to a Creta, I probably had not realised this ![]() Last edited by saaicon : 1st May 2018 at 14:54. |

We were cruising around 50kmph when the car in front of mine applied brakes unexpectedly. There was a speed breaker that none of us could spot earlier. There was fine sand (baalu mitti) on the road, like most roads in Rajasthan get when winds carry sand from the dunes. I panic braked too but the vehicle seemed to glide forward instead of stopping. The brake pedal kicked back and there was an audible noise. Ideally, I would have expected the vehicle to skid and stop (or crash) but seeing it didn't, I steered the car instinctively to the left and it stopped a few metres ahead of the point where it would've crashed. Needless to say, it was ABS in action but not the kind of reaction that one would expect from the car. I'm not sure if it is bad technology from Hyundai but I don't see how this crashed could've been averted in any other vehicle. The braking capability to avert the crash is replaced by manoeuvrability. Next day we experienced it again. On a T point, we had to turn left but a truck came head on from the wrong side. The road had that 3-hump kind of speed breaker. The car reacted in a similar manner but the speed was slower so it lasted a second or so. Overall I think its an odd implementation of ABS and there is no driver training from Hyundai. Since the experience is unheard of for most drivers (especially first time ABS customers), they conclude it as a mechanical fault. The prerequisites for this situation seem to be: 1. An uneven surface that would refuse traction 2. Panic braking | ||

Here's the drawing: Shift Lever Control (MTA) for Hyundai Creta I suggest you to check the cables on the gearbox casing, may have come loose. | |

| ![]() I always experience this - whenever I try braking on a slightly bigger speed breaker, initially there is close to nothing feedback from the brake, a feeling of some cable / rod attached to the brake and further a feel of ABS kicking in (even if the vehicle is at 20-30 kmph). I am not sure how exactly to describe the situation but I faced this in my Verna as well. Have not experienced anything similar in any other brand. So apart from spongy and noisy brakes, this incorrect implementation of ABS also needs to be sorted out. |

The Creta is one of the best compact SUVs out there that's got the best turbo set up. In fact the drivability of the engine is its highlight. Yes there's lag but you have to go looking for it if you know what I mean. Every diesel car that has a turbo will have a lag and that's the compromise. Some cars like the Creta mask it really well and having test driven one, I'd say it was almost lag free. Also, perhaps the bigger dimensions (wider and taller) of the Creta (compared to E2O) put you off. | |

| ![]() Yes. I have faced similar situation and the clutch was burned out in couple of days from that incident. Your SA is right but you need to check the clutch ASAP. Some of the Diesel Creta vehicles have frequent clutch failures even with very less KMs in Odometer. I have posted about the issue few times on this thread ![]() |

Regarding the sprinting, I completely agree and I see where the feedback comes from. The runs on an empty patch from 0-10kmph, the car really took off and yes, I don't recall there being much of the turbo-lag effect. I did push the car on certain empty stretches of road. However the roll-on acceleration was where I found it lacking. Probably I was in a gear higher than ideal and the engine was just being good and pulling me with all its torque. I've owned an Ertiga Diesel for 2+ years and I've driven the Innova, Xylo and City diesels on long runs in the recent past. In those cars I probably would have been in a lower gear since they might not have pulled smoothly at the higher gear (the large MUVs having to carry much larger weight / relatively underpowered engines on Eriga). With the Creta driving in 3rd gear was fine at all city road speeds. | |||

| ![]() Ha ha! Both of you were dead right! Today afternoon the car stopped again and even if gear lever was engaging, there was no torque in any gear ( engine free rev). somehow the kun united service centre guy could move the car after repeated clutch pumping and drive it to the service centre, I am now sitting in the service centre and fearing that they will simply ask me to replace clutch outside warranty. |
