That's a good read and congrats on your car. This thread should help many confused people who's got the doubt on 1.4's capability.

Keep the thread updated with your findings. Of late I have started seeing many 1.4's here.

Enjoy!

On Aliexpress, there are lots of things one can buy:

Apart from the above mentioned ones, there is one other feature while I will badly miss in this model, rear wash-wipe and defogger. Is there a workaround for this as well?

If all the above shortcomings can be addressed reliably and for a fair price, the Creta E Plus will be a strong alternative to a top-end Ecosport or Nexon. You get a bigger car with all the important features in place.

Just my thoughts.

I think retrofitting is very difficult and not worth the effort even if someone is ready to do it. Something like Rain X can be tried out

Let me wish you sir on your buy of the 1.4L Creta. Wish you lot of happy and safe miles on your drive. Please do update us as you go along!!

Thanks! Any idea about changes to the facelifted 1.4E? Information very sketchy!

Congrats on your ride and thanks for the write up as I was searching for an actual perfomance review of the 1.4 Creta. This car is on my radar along with the Ecosport, when I buy a new city car for my wife next year. I just need a higher ground clearance pseudo SUV with a good all around view and a good low end starting torque without much need of too much power, as it will purely be used in the city.

I thing I have always wondered is why hatches and suvs have a rear wiper while sedans don't have them. So if a sedan does not need it wonder why it's a must have for a small hatch form factor car?

You should give the box a try. 26k but I feel it is worth if you don't want to deal with remap.

Hi!
How is the low end performance, specially in the hills? Does it void warranty? Can we plug/unplug it ourself? If yes, how easy/difficult is it?

Too many questions 😊, but please share your experience!

Performance in P1 is great and effect on milege is near to nil. There is enough torque in P1 mode( 2 & 3 Gear) which I believe should be able to pull the vehicle on hills. I haven't had the chance to drive it on hills. It is quite easy to plug and unplug but I don't prefer doing it myself. I usually get it unplugged from the place I purchased.

I am interested in either creta 1.6 petrol E+ or 1.4 diesel E+. Which would be the better option? I am not interested in high speed performance but low end performance is important.

[sunwarior]

Just now booked Creta 1.4 E+ CRDI(Fiery Red) online. Let’s see how things unfold!

In that case, you should simply go for the diesel though you will miss out on some features vis-à-vis the petrol variant.

I have to finalize between creta 1.4 S model and verna diesel sx model. Verna has advantage of 1.6 engine n more features while creta has the advantage of being an SUV. Pls suggest

After dwelling in similar predicament for quite some time, I finally decided to book Creta 1.4 E+. Not because I am floored by its features and specifications but simply because I can’t afford anything better. However, I am hopeful of reasonable comfort & space, and confident of Hyundai quality and RELIABILITY. What concerns me is its seemingly puny heart! We will see about that though! Maybe a dual channel RD Dieseltronic tuning box will save the day.

Best of luck for your quest.
