I have seen Karthik on so many reviews earlier on different channels, but here the true personality comes out. What a happy mellow guy!
Thanks for that Vivek!
Karthik D'Mello
@@drivewithsagar hahahahaha
Lmao @@drivewithsagar
They compliment each other well. It works for them and we love the format.
Importantly they have no reservations about sharing their true, unbiased opinions/reviews...unlike their counterparts, who masquerade as auto journalists, and only focus on the pros and skirt the cons.
Kartik nd Shumi are professor of Automotive industry 😄❤️
😆
if i had professors like them, would study all day.
accidentally skipped class, this made up for it :)
I’m going late to office😂
@@Mimolimotimo good luck on getting to your office asap :D
I'm literally at my desk rn working and the podcast is running in the background like an ASMR 😂😂
Morning fam! All the best - sounds like you have a lot on your hands WM!
Bro don't know wat to say...
The Creta is what the Honda City used to be to the middle class families few years ago. This may not be the coolest, nerd fest thing in the block but it certainly is the middle class people's ultimate aspiration, stature and desirability factor that the Honda City used to have even tho it had its more cooler competitions like Fiesta, Linea, Verna, Vento. Brand Creta is as strong as brand Fortuner in this booming 10-20 lakh segment. There's no two ways about it.
Absolutely on point! But let’s hope it goes the way of the Fortuner and not the City. For which they have to make some changes.
I have the 2020 Creta with 1.5 IVT and really enjoy driving the same. Since the car was planned for my dad I felt the gear box and engine option was best suited for him, rather as Karthikeya mentioned is the what the most people will ever need. Just last week completed 1100Kms road trip across Odisha on the same car and never once I have felt that I need more power or quicker gear changes, and the best part got 17 kmpl.
On a lighter note it feel bad when Schumi makes fun of my old looks 😆😆, but cannot even sell it off as if I do that as he mentioned I will be an ExC*e*a owner. 😝😝
RR! We are ROFLing here! Hahahahaha
Also thanks a ton for sharing your garage and motoring life with us. Loved reading that! Wish you all awesome journeys!
Excreta owner..damn ..I have 2015 one in my fam..good not many peeps will get this joke in my neighborhood
How smooth is this ivt when it climbs steep roads which is also in a bad condition? I live in a hilly area. Just wanted to know your experience with ivt.
@@ronyjohn7128 i have never faced any issues with steep climps. The power is adequate and also you have the option to shift it to S and do the gear change manually.
@@ronyrulez29 Thaks a lot bro, really appreciate it.
Shumi's summary, definitely 10/10. But Kartik's review is 11/10. It is purely magical how he extracts such info in a test ride that only a owner can get in long term (if he/she pays attention). Always a melody to ears MotorInc. 🤟
Please send Shumi to a car launch like Karthikeya went for the Himalayan launch🤣🙏🏽
I think both should go for one.
Love both the ideas!
Both of them did go on the Duke 390 launch right?
Not exactly. They rode it on different days. 🫤
Since there are larger gaps in the grill up front , won't it cause some stone to enter while driving in highways and damage the radiators?
The colour grading on this video is just absolutely beautiful Motorinc! Bravo!
Glad you think so!
how does it (Creta 1.5 NA cvt) compare with Elevate 1.5 ivtec cvt? Is it better in terms of power delivery? which one seems/feels more powerful?
Elevate 1.5 CVT is a better proposition in terms driving capabilities, long term ownership and practicality....... In terms of wow factor..... It's the Creta
@@arpanrathore6826 I agree. I'm leaning towards elevate only. I heard suspensions are also better in elevate.
Thank you again for the amazing video. Always good as everytime.
I have a concern . Please do reply.
I am looking for a new vehicle in 1.5 turbo. Confused between vw taigun/ kushaq with seltos/ creta. Please give a reply. Your opinion matters . If vw taigun which I can choose manual or DCT. Thanks
Hi, I have been driving my 2017 Elantra and I find the 2024 creta still doesn't have some of the frills like......auto sensor opening of the boot, lumbar adjustments in the drivers seat and mirror and light on the drivers side sun shade !!!
Cret(i)n
When you sell it, it becomes your ex-creta 😂 schumi knows what he's onto.. love you guys. keep up the good work.
Heya Jatin! Right back you - ❤️!
Can you please explain the joke
😂
Creta+n = Cretan = Cretin = a stupid person@@vaibhavgexc
Open dictionary
Diesel still necessary for most people outside big cities. Not just for the mileage but the low end torque is absolutely necessary for navigating worn down roads with a full load. Its a shame that we only have a handful of options now.
You have to try a strong hybrid!
@@motorinc When it becomes more affordable, it will be a solid choice I'm sure. A sub 10 lakh strong hybrid would be great for most of us. 😁
@BertieJasokie that is just not possible with the insane tax structure
Sub 4m hatches already cost over 10Lakhs. Hitting that price point will be tough. But starting at that.. should be possible 🤞🏽
@@BertieJasokienot just taxes; you have to add batteries, electric motor will add more money, and count the feature(user selling points) like sunroof, ventilated seats, etc we will never get anything below 10 lakhs.
Hey Karthik, why don't you guys do a comparo of the NA CVTs as on date? For the Compact SUVs in the market today.
Does Creta DCT use wet or dry clutch? Have heard of overheating issues in bumper to bumper traffic.
Which one would you recommend Alcazar petrol turbo or the Creta petrol turbo, since they are similarly priced?
Hullo! If you had to get a three-row - look at Carens instead. Between Alcazar and Creta - Creta.
The SX variant of the Turbo Petrol would’ve been the best value for money variant. Fun to drive combo without the annoying ADAS. Hyundai missed an opportunity here by offering turbo petrol on only the SX(O) trim.
Picked up the same combination on the Verna and saved almost 1 lakh and couldn’t have been happier. Rather spend that extra money on fuel than on features which will be turned off.
That is absolutely on point! It’s another strange miss.
Looking to buy a C-SUV. Annual running would be around 20000-25000km. Would you recommend going for Diesel Auto OR CVT? I’m also considering Seltos HTX variant as well.
@MotorInc Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the variants, transmissions and it's ride nature. I have been a user of diesel and have been driving a Fiat Linea for the last 9+ years. After driving Linea for that many years, frankly, speaking none of the cars in the market excite me, and the car that excites me is not in the budget. What would be your recommendation for me? I am a highway guy traveling with family most of the time and my city usage is very minimal (over weekends or once a week to the office). With the diesel ban noise going over in the market, I am confused about what should I choose. Could you help me to make a decision Kartikeya or Shumi?
A diesel is a diesel is a diesel. The biggest factor is efficiency, no matter how you drive, it is not sensitive to fuel consumption. A turbo petrol on the other hand if a usual spirited drive costs 1500 buks it would just cost 700 or so on the diesel. It is the freedom to drive more.
How much mileage it gives in city from a diesel creta
I feel like there'll be a time when ADAS will be a default feature, once it's developed enough. Until then features like 'High Beam Assist' which I believe is a must on single lane Indian roads should be integrated with the 'Auto Headlight' feature.
Yes it will. And hopefully it will be worth our hard earned money then.
Thank you!confusion cleared.
You're welcome @subhrabora7838!
Hello! I currently own a 2018 manual petrol Creta and am considering an upgrade. Comparing the 2024 Creta DCT with the Mahindra XUV 700, I wonder if there will be improvements in terms of driveability and comfort with the Creta, or if opting for the XUV 700 would truly make a noticeable difference in the segment.
The Creta's dashboard took inspiration from the 1st Gen Alto, but with a modern twist. It's like they threw a sleek party for the Alto's classic grey and black look, and the big screen is the DJ dropping beats from the dashboard!
Ouch!
That grey colour looks absolutely hideous. Ivory/Tan looks so much more premium on the Seltos.
It is a good day when it starts with motorInc
Morning!
Kartik sir which is good pick seltos or creta facelift
Karthik n shumi can u guys pls suggest me which one to buy is it manual or Dct
I desperately want car manufacturers to provide top variants without sunroof at least as an option. Even if it came with the same price tag I would still prefer the non sunroof variant. I really want all the bells and whistles of the top variant except sunroof because it isn’t going to enhance my ownership experience as such. Not to mention that it unnecessarily increase the ownership cost.
This is one reason why I din't go for any SUVish car. Just because I din't want a sunroof.
@@iamdesignerr sedan has sunroof too
@@pranavsharma7479 True! the thing is top models of all cars are coming with Sunroof options! What if someone doesnt need! They have to settle for lower models be it Sedans, hatchbacks or any other segment
What's that banger song in the intro?
It’s a MotorInc creation. Glad to know you enjoyed it!
It's a brilliant intro, make an instrumental or song out of it 😊
@@motorinc release this song na!
@@motorinc Spotify version when
I always enjoyed that intro. You should create a longer track out of it.
Wonderful discussion, both of them have brought in a podcast type of discussion through a video is just a treat to watch and listen. Did not know how 45 minutes passed by, i learnt lot about automobiles just by hearing both of them. Whenever a new vehicle arrives, first thing I do is to hear him through this channel called first impressions.
You guys are doing great! Fantastic and deep dive analysis done perfect! ❤technically helps us 😊
Thanks Pradeep! Glad you’re enjoying the MotorInc experience!
The face shumi makes at 8:22😂😂😂😂😂
🤦😂
What is Shumi talking about Creta N ... One vowel difference? 😅 Didn't get it.
Cretin!
Don’t make it so easy Giri! 🙃
same.. 🤷♂
someone.? anyone.??
@@kiranmuraleekrishnan cretin
The "Quick summary" was better than other competitors cinematic story mode explanations. Keep up the good work and thank you! :D
Thank you!
Thank you so much
This is the best-looking creta ever. It's as cute as singhee in his 30s 😂
Don’t make him reminisce! 40s have hit hard. 🤣
No but you ARE right. Sedans truly are better than SUVs. Shame that people want a big high boat when all they do is go over the usual roads of a city and never even take it slightly off the beaten path
And elegant and more satisfying to drive. 🙃
@@motorinc Exactly!
I am not that experienced driver. So curious to know, Are't SUVs better suited for roads with pothholes and large speed breakers, which is like 70% of indian city roads?. Or is that just a myth.
Roads aren’t as bad as that. And if you drive with just a bit slowly/cautiously when needed you will manage just fine.
Historically the roads were worse, right?
Great vid as usual.. couple of questions though.. You have recommended 3 variants but all of them are auto transmissions.. i am more of a manual guy and prefer NA with it.. is it still the same as it was on pre facelift one.. ? Also.. the huge gap in the front grill.. is that an issue.. from the pics it seems you can see inside components.. not sure if its a problem..
Hullo Dhruv! The big gap in the grille is not a problem. It just looks strange. Yes the NA engine is the same as before. If you like MT + NA - you should drive the Elevate as well before deciding.
@@motorinc yepp.. that one is in consideration too..thanks guys !!
Does somebody know what Shumi meant by CretaN - one vowel difference? 🤔
Shumi's glances towards the camera breaking the fourth wall is a subtle touch that makes these videos unique.
It's like I'm sitting on a couch and he gives these regular looks, like how friends would sit and chat.
Also in some moments, it feels like he's confirming with us, "Did you get the joke?", as if it was a double meaning joke 😅.
That actually may be true since Shumi confessed that his brain constantly churns out dad jokes, so those glances are very well placed. 😂
It’s like you were in the room with them, na?
@@motorinc Absolutely.
Not just in the room with them, like we're a squad that pulls out their sweet rides every weekend.
That's the level of comfort. 💆🏻♂️
Oh man! Hopefully soon!
@@motorinc yeah, about that. Would you guys consider a live session, where you take questions from the crowd? I understand that it's a niche, but you can try with a small venue.... It would be a whole lot wholesome....
He is the master of doing that. I only watch these videos on a big screen
Excellent video as always! Quick question, does the CVT come with drive modes, and if so what are they? Also I wish we got a nice big knob for AC controls rather than so many buttons. I look at that AC control unit and would have a headache trying to figure out what does what😢
It does - eco, normal and sport. Sport has less acceleration lag (rubberbanding) than eco, but still noticeable compared to a manual or a torque converter. But the engine noise is much louder and annoying (because it's at higher revs). So it's a tradeoff between noise and lag. I drove in eco since I couldn't stand the noise even at 70 kph.
Thanks! That makes sense😁
The fuel cell car you're referring to is the Hyundai NEXO.
I love the intro, it is awesome.
Also I love the way karthick explains every tiny details about the car, not only for creta, for every car.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your car reviews have truly elevated the genre to a whole new level. Watching your videos is an absolute delight, and the elegance portrayed is exceptional. In my opinion, this is the most lavish car review channel on UA-cam. There is this unique calmness in your videos which is truly admirable, it has this soothing effect which I can't explain making the viewing experience even more enjoyable.
Can hear it on other platforms. But saw on UA-cam for shumi's priceless reactions 😂😂
Good decision! 🤣
Is Creta good enough for bad roads? I mean will it weather bad roads for 7-8 years of usage?
Or shall I consider any other option?
It's always insightful to listen motoinc all things covered
Thanks so much JB!
Man.. another fun video. A detailed well thought through video, and a smashing summary.
And love Karthik’s detailed analysis, and schumi cracking them puns, I love these car videos, when schumi gets to relax and hammer back those manufacturers while doling out a neat assembly line of puns. And then the expressions on the duo with the unsaid puns and looks exchanged
Cretin … ooh that burnt.
Ps where’s the road tests coming through for all these new launches
Thanks PS! MotorInc View stories will start dropping once the vehicles reach us for more thorough evaluations. No timelines we can share - we haven't got any yet.
The new husqvurnas and the old ones are both still on sale and the price is so confusing, please make a short clip about it if possible, thanks.
Thank you! Do you have any thoughts on the reliability of the DCT in Indian climate/traffic/etc. conditions?
Hello! Every technology as it evolves becomes more reliable. We are now seeing new generation DCTs which are better to use presumably more reliable too. Why we don’t worry about it too much is - warranty and EW. We would always recommend it when purchasing these options. It’s an additional. It’s but it locks in many years of peace of mind. Hope that helps.
- Shumi's summary 10/10 especially because he skipped the stuff that wasn't important 👍
- I think the base variant is also important especially because it wouldn't have any ADAS or bling. A clean slate to work on if I may.
- That color reminds of a "3D" color option on the Matiz. Looked almost black in shade, greenish with the light directly above it and bluish when viewed from the sides.
- The 1.5 NA CVT is definitely ideal for city biased usage. The ownership would be uneventful which could be a plus or minus depending on personal tastes.
One of the few channels where duration becomes irrelevant. It has become my best breakfast watch.
Good job MotorInc 👍
Hola again SD! Thanks a ton for your summary! 😄
A very well put together talk about creta execellent work👍 loved it
Thanks so much for letting us know! Appreciate it!!
I'm a recent follower to this channel and really loved the way how you guys deliver the content. Quality and enjoyable too.I love watching the videos while I work and my wife won't bug me even if I remove my headset, because hearing the video, she might think like I'm in a Teams meeting!! 😄
Welcome to MotorInc! Let us know if your wife has any feedback for your new “colleagues”!
hi @karik ,
1.can you paste that list for cvt gear box gear range ?
2. why not the diesel manual as the preferred one ? because they only make sense now with high running.
3. yes Mr Summi we are not at all happy with diesel dying.
4. we will request you to check 2nd base variance as well and Karol bag car upgrades to creta .. they challenge to make base to top so you might be seeing top only. but sales says total different story'.(2nd top is the most sold)
Hi. Now since the price is out. Pls suggest for CVT. should we go for S(o) or SX tech. N why u don’t like Adas. And then compare to elevate. Like when I asked u about elevate u asked to wait for creta
Hello! If you are looking at the CVT - the default recommendation will be the Creta - it’s got much better sound insulation which makes it much more enjoyable to drive. We would happily skip the tech pack. As for ADAS - right now - it’s not as helpful as it’s made out to be. We would want it to be really helpful in Indian conditions rather be just a gimmick. Finally, it’s your decision - does it fit in your driving conditions. And does it seem worth it. Let us know what you decide! Thanks!
Lovely. Thanks a ton. Will soon reply my decision , once I make it ☺️
Great review as always! ❤️ What would be a better option? Creta S optional automatic with CVT or Seltos HTX automatic IVT?
The only thing that will make CRETA A STEP AHEAD is the build quality when compared to SELTOS.
Was it the Hyundai Nexo the fuel cell vehicle you were talking about Karthik ?
Absolutely right! Thanks again!
Thanks for the video, was looking forward to the Chasis part but you didn cover that, also dynamics wise between elevate & Creta which one is better?
The Creta rode comfortably and confidently earlier - didn’t feel too different now. We will be able to speak more in depth once we test it at MOtorInc HQ! Look forward to clarifying the Elevate and Creta confusion then. Hope you can wait. Thanks!
is there a timeline to publish that? All Creta pricing as well as variant are already out. There is a huge price different of 3L on road in the 1.5L NA top spec variant? Also the emerald pearl colour looks small compared to Red for street presence.@@motorinc
Does the drive modes in CVT-NA work as good as they do in Turbo Dct?
Yes, it does. They do tweak the mood. But the punch from the engine isn’t going to be as explosive as with the DCT.
Hi MotorInc team, how would you rate and take on ad as on Volvo Xc60(59 exshowroom). Should I go ahead with that or just go with a non adas new evoque(68exshoweoom)/x3(a little expensive at 70 exshoweoom).pls advise
Hi Ashsish! With or without ADAS - the XC60 is sweet! Very worth it.
Fantastic conversational content, wonderfully curated ..subjective though..as opinions are always are. Would love to watch videos on hybrid technology as the future tec with flex fuels ..and how the man behind the wheel could benefit out of it with a more fit for purpose machine
Hi Karthik & Shami Sir.. Can u suggest a vfm variant..? looking for diesel AT
We would recommend checking the Seltos imt before making a decision. It’s HTX+ is a great pick.
Superb Guys!! Following Kartik from Autocar days and have always loved the way he review the cars. I’m an existing creta IVT user and it’s a great machine to use in city. Only on few instances you feel the power should have been more otherwise as a daily city car it’s perfect. While the prices of creta and Seltos are same, creta loses on features like Air purifier. Earlier it was present but in this facelift they have removed it whereas Seltos gets it. Also Seltos gets tinted glass whereas creta has regular ones.
Awesome as always.
Thank you for the encouragement!
The car you were trying to mention during the retro styling, was it the n vision 74?
It was the Nexo. Thanks for helping out though.
Thank you for making the mundane bearable guys. Cheers!
Thank you for writing in!
Thank you MotorInc for this concept. Bench mark in automobile news and review 👍
Glad to know you enjoyed it!
Any particular reason for despising the 18” wheels
5.15 - That big gaps and sensor sticking out have any risks or genuine disadvantage?
No risks, the only disadvantage is that it looks strange.
Its always a pleasure to listen and watch Karthik here. Big fan. 😊. As always a great video
Thanks so much MM!
As unique as always.. good one👍
Thanks a lot 😊!
after watching this review and test driving finally decided for the creta diesel automatic. didn't go for cvt as i have the running
love these conversations between the duo! Also, enjoyed how the previous design was roasted!
😁
I eagerly waited for this discussion after Creta's Launch and i really enjoyed listening to you guys, as expected. A few areas i think you could have done more are.
1. Talk about passive safety. Either confirm nothing changed or if you just dont know. For example, some channels are saying there is 50kg weight increased, so this might ace the crash test. Would have been nice to hear from you folks.
2. Prices have been released long back. not sure if you guys shot this long back. if so why?
3. While seltos comparasion makes sense, i wish you compared this a little more with other cars in some key areas atleast. For example, is ride quality and comfort as good or better than vitara/ elevate or poorer?. Is turbo petrol + dct as good as kushaq?. These are the ones that will evenutallu help propspective buyers.
I enjoyed this Nonethless. Still i think you can make it even more awesome.
Hey Sudhakar! Thanks so much for holding us to a higher standard. We’ll try to tackle this here.
1- Like the Seltos - the chassis has been beefed up. We will have to wait for crash tests to validate the improvement resulting form it if any.
2 - we shoot right after we drive when things are fresh. So we will discuss price and value in other videos. Do stay tuned.
3 - We would have loved to compare with its rivals but this time Kartikeya refrained because the road and driving conditions weren’t varied enough to really draw in depth comparisons. We wouldn’t want to talk out of our hats. We will compare once we get to drive the Creta for longer in more “normal” conditions. Like with the cabin experience and comfort we discussed rivals where possible. Hope that makes sense.
Also - As for the turbo-dct combination - like we said in the First - the Hyundai combo is better than the VW combo. Period. Do check that out.
Appreciate the reply. Looking forward to see more awesome stuff from you..
This is one of the best disussion I have seen so far which is able to hold the viewer for this long. Quite neat & on point. As I am also looking for a new mid size SUV, I am a bit confused between Creta SX 1.5 NA Manual & Seltos HTX 1.5 NA Manual.
Based on the comparion, Seltos offers more feature in the same price, like Auto Dimming IRVM, Front Parking Sensors, More ambient light (bit of a gimmik, but still an addition), 3 rear headrest & mainly the fogg light. On the other hand, Creta do not have any of the previous features in SX, but it only offers wireless charging. Both have 17" alloys. Based on price in my City & self insurance, I am getting Creta SX 1.5 Manual Petrol in 16.35L & Seltos HTX 1.5 Manual Petrol in 16.25L.
My most driving will be in City and occasionally on highway. Looking for a family car. I'll appreciate it if you could please help stir my confusion here.
As far as I know, both car mostly holds more or less resell value as well where maybe Hyundai on somewhat higher side, but thought to highlight this point in case if it helps any viewer.
P.S: My height is six feet, but you have already got that part covered, so kudos to taking things in details & mentioning that as most videos just demonstrate rear seat space and all, but you did took this one as well.
You should test drive both & the Elevate NA manual too. Then if you still rate them all equal, choose based on your colour choice🎯
considering creta has added more high strength steel for its frame, you should consider creta if you regard safety as paramount
Very good conversation keeps the audiences active although it's a recorded video... fantastic detailing unlike the other videos where they do walk around
Thank you very much Sarvesh!
What you think on DCT engine for someone who has 80% city drive. Is DCT makes sense to buy, And are they reliable as they are working on Venue since the last 5years and on other Koreans as well.
Get the CVT! At least try it.
We want to buy the creata for my dad, he will do a bith a lot city and highway driving. We want a car that is comfortable but also has some power, I heard from you only that Seltos isn't comfortable which we were originally planning to buy we skipped that,
Now out of these two options that you recommended
Turbo petrol DCT transmission
Naturally Aspirated Petrol CTV transmission
Which is best for city and high way rides ?
Does the boxy front design remind you a little of the land cruiser V8? A little? Just a teensy bit…?
Now that you said it.. if we squint a bit.. hehehe
Listining to ur conversation is way too fun to watch lol. This was great as always.
Awesome, thank you!
God i love the way shumi used to teach us basics in older channels can we bring them back if possible?
We're working on how to do this Sandesh. Stay tuned!
This discussion was so insightful, Thanks. I am really in a dilemma of whether to get the SXO petrol manual or the cvt, because I will be driving in both city traffic and occasionally in the hills 'steep ones'.
Just wanted to know if cvt will perform well in the hilly areas, Thanks .
Go for the CVT, it will be more enjoyable more days. For the occasional hill drive - you can use the paddles and use the “gears” for more responsiveness
I'm planning to but SUV
Can you help me which one should I go with
Creta S(O) manual or Elevate VX/ZX manual
Just on the engine basis - we’d pick Elevate! If any other specific needs please do message us! Thanks!
Kudos, great review 👍Nobody picked the tyre pressure during the demo, they all said the ride is on the firmer side..
Ah! Thanks for letting us know! And glad we could help!
You are one of the few auto analyst who has differentiated in the performance of IVT performance in Hyundai cars against normal CVT transmission
The same view I had when I drove IVT creta in actual driving condition performance is fabulous response on acceleration beyond what I expected from Naturally aprirated engine to the extent that I have changed my booking from turbo dct to naturally aspirated IVT model
The way Karthik says "Allright" is just ❤
Hehe
Can we have a discussion about Sedan vs SUV and quantitatively prove that a Sedan is a better "body shell" for a passenger vehicle. I think it's much needed topic especially with all manufacturers ditching Sedans in favor of stupid SUVs.
I'll volunteer some points in favor of sedans. Here we go!
Quantitative advantages of sedans
1. More aerodynamic because of being low slung.
2. Lighter suspension components closer to ground gives better stability in cornering (not that a sedan is meant for spirited driving, but the dynamics of a vehicle closer to ground are going to be more confidence inspiring)
3. Since the weight of passengers is much lower compared to SUVs, the suspension can be softer and still not induce body roll. The reason why SUVs need a stiff suspension is to prevent excessive body roll (which happens due to the weight being higher above the suspension components).
4. Sedans are more comfortable (due to point 3).
5. Sedans can be built cheaper, because they don't need heavy duty suspension components and use less sheet metal compared to a similarly sized SUV.
6. Sedans have larger boot capacity.
7. Sedans are inherently safer because of 2 crumple zones front and back (and also because of points 2 and 3)
Advantages of SUVs
1. More ground clearance (practical on Indian road conditions but not truly a significant advantage for city usage. Only useful for off-roading which are done better by true SUVs (Bolero, Thar, Jimny) and not pseudo SUVs like Creta)
2. Ease of ingress and egress.
Despite enumerating all these advantages of Sedans, I've gone and purchased a Nissan Magnite :-( because of horrid road conditions near my place!
This entire video could be summed up with all the close shots of just Shumi's expressions!!!!😆
Amazing timing by the production team catching it evey single time when Shumi had a reaction to what Kartik was saying!!!!😊
Thanks a ton! We'll pass your compliments on to the team! 😊
was going through some news... CRETA has scored 5 Stars in the ASEAN Crash test.. will that be same for the version here in India or we'll again be just accept that since its got a big hole in the roof we don't need the same levels of safety? can we have more of these safety ratings discussions / understanding the results of crash tests when the new season of ThisConnect comes ?
Hello Motorinc and Shumi. Brought a bone clean RTR 200 4V 2019. Loving it❤. Coming from a activa can i have a basics to look after😊
Congratulations! Check the tyres for sure. Replace if needed. Get a general service done. Brake pads to be checked too. And ride!
Its a great review, you both are awesome, one thing I would like to ask, how is the build quality in terms of safety, I know I am not comparing with Tata but did it improve on build quality
It feels as good as before. As for safety/solidity - Hyundai has upgraded the chassis with stronger materials to improve crash safety.
Of all the reviews that have come recently I am eagerly waiting for what Shumi thinks about the new Jawa 350 and also the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. I hope that comes sooner
Noted!
Hi, I never saw any video of Venue. Do you get one or not?
Not yet Sagar!
Excellent commentary, Although 33 psi with 3 people and light bags is way too low for the kerb weight of the DCT. I would do about 35 to 36 depending on road conditions.
Karthik and Shumi: i have been asking for a review of MG Hector or Hector Plus CVT and Diesel from many months. Can you pls review?
What is oversized Tshirt brand Karthik is wearing?
When is Creta N Line expected to be launched
Creta s optional or Sx tech CVT model which one you suggest?
Sx tech
Creta sx or elevate zx ? Which one will you pick ?
Very different price range?. Creta S(O) and Elevate ZX are similar. if creta comes back with good crash test rating, Creta S(O) definitely. Otherwise, elevate. i am an Elevate ZX CVT owner, btw.
Thanks so much Sudhakar!
Hey UR - if you are picking manual go for Elevate - The Honda engine will make it more satisfying to drive. For an auto - pick the Creta - it has better sound insulation and so the better experience. Which more than makes up for the slight difference in performance and efficiency.
