Need opinion: Motevo infotainment system for Hyundai Creta

I'm planning to buy the Creta SX Executive as my Hyundai i20 Elite replacement. This model doesn't come with an infotainment system.

BHPian aruncr recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Hi team,

Currently, I own a Hyundai i20 Elite. Driving it for the last 6 years. The vehicle is in immaculate condition except for the tyres that I have imported recently. Since the Yokohamas had worn out at 45,000 km, I preferred Chinese and imported.

Four Triangular tyres from Indonesia - 60/195/R15. However, the front tyre started wobbling and the centre portion began to wear out and affect the rack and pinion.

This isn't the reason for selling the car. The IDV is falling and the insurance coverage level as well.

I have test driven XUV 700, Thar, Seltos, Astor, Creta and Harrier. However, landed up on Creta SX - Executive.

This model doesn't come up with an infotainment system. The customer needs to add it as an accessory. Hyundai (or My showroom) approved models are from Sony, Pioneer, Blaupunkt and Motevo.

I'd prefer Motevo as it comes with an extra-large 10.25" LCD screen with all current-generation features. The quoted price is Rs. 45990 without speakers.

The vehicle comes with in-built 4 speakers/2 tweeters and steering mounted audio controls. I will be installing my JBL 4 CH Amp of 200W with a subwoofer that I am already using.

Can someone throw some light on Motevo 10.25" infotainment system or any suggestions for an alternate brand (all details) with the same screen size?

  • How reliable this is?
  • Clarity of sound?
  • Clarity of video and reverse camera?
  • Overall experience?

Here's what GTO had to say about the matter:

Definitely not a fly-by-night brand. I see many posts on Motevo and, in fact, Honda endorsed them too.

Here's what BHPian RaSing had to say about the matter:

Not sure about the brand Motevo, but please be informed that there are a lot of Android Screens available in the accessories market in the range of Rs 7000 to 23000, including brands like Nippon. I feel the showroom is just charging the double. Please have a look at this thread before going ahead. I personally feel you can save a lot of money by doing a bit of research on the net and in the market. Also, a lot of brands are now available on Go Mechanic site.

Here's what BHPian Shreyans_Jain had to say about the matter:

Extremely overpriced. The same product is available at a third of the price in the market. Scout around. There are plenty of such Android-based head units in the market, unbranded as well as branded. All are made in China.
