Hyundai Creta [2015-2017] User Reviews

Have purchased Creta on Monday 17th August. Had a horrible experience. This is my 3rd Hyundai car. I am owning an i10 (2008 model) and a verna fluidic (2011 model). Earlier I have not faced any problem but buying a Creta was like a nightmare for me. I went on 7th August to take delivery of my SUV (Silver colour) from Sunrise Autoworld, Delhi. After clearing all my payments I went down to check the car and found that the front bumper was not properly fitted. The company people opened the whole bumper and tried to fit it in place but they could not rectify the problem. I decided not to buy this particular piece and asked them to get me the next Creta available in Silver colour. But they told me that I have to wait for another 20-25 days for the same. It was horrible and when I asked for refund they persuaded me for a different colour. Ultimately we settled for Stardust colour and they promised that the car will be delivered in next 7 days. Finally on 17th August (10 days later) I got a call that the car has arrived and i can take the delivery. We went to the showroom for delivery and again at the time of delivery I found that the rear left handle of the car was in the door open position however the door was locked. The service engineers came to check the same and they could not solve the problem as the door was locked and it could not be opened from inside as well as outside since the handle was stuck in the open position. They took the vehicle to the workshop and after half an hour they got it rectified and finally the delivery was done. Did anyone from the Hyundai has a say on it???

Good Styling, great looksAVN system is very poor. Pick up not as good as verna.

Exterior Good Sspace & very comfortable.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very very  poor Engine - I purchased this car in Aug 2015 ever since then my car has been to the work shop 5 times & had to been towed once [ last night ]

First 5 problems - Music system gets hanged/ back camera also gets hanged.

Latest problem : The Fan belt of the car broke in the middle of the raod, my car is done only 8000 Kms & not sure how can a fan belt of new car break like this. how unreliable is the car !!

My intention of sharing this info is, as most of you may be swamped with the response of this car from the media on the booking numbers etc, however since i have purchased this car & driving I will not recommen this car.

If you have time to make frequest visitis to the workshop then its your choice!

Think twice before you buy this car.

Final Words DO NOT PURCHASE.

Areas of improvement ENGINE.

SpaceEngine - My car had to be towed from the middle of the road.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No doubt it is best in its segment in all respects.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Although i am a very slow driver (prefer driving at 60-80 KM/Hr but on highway i testested my creta sxo up to 130 KM/Hr with 2500 RPM for few min. I found its engine quite responsive and ready to go. The important observation i noticed that during this phase the accelarator was pressed very little. One can imagine the speed if it is pressed half way or little more. I drove from Ahmedabad to Gurgaon; a stretch of 950 KMs via Udaipur, chittorgarh, Ajmer, Jaipur and Gurgaon. The road quality from Udaipur to Ajmer was not good enough therefore we decided that during return journey we are going to take NH 8 and NH 14 i.e. Jaipur, Ajmer, Pali, Sirohi, Palanpur, Mehsana and Ahmedabad. The road quality was more than excellant. The average milage was 19.5 to 20.5 KMPL. And i was well satisfied with this performance of creta sxo. The advantage of going for top end model was quite visible during this trip. Gearbox is very smooth but need little more smoothness when using the reverse gear.

Ride Quality & Handling I have gone thru several reviews highlighting body roll and vehicle performance during cornering in creta but in my about 2000 KMs drive no such things were observed. It is just a fantastic compact (?) SUV. Steering is also up to the mark and i always felt that vehicle is in my total controll. The ESP, VSM, Hill decent/acent are the prominant features of this car; were all experienced during this trip. The 17 inch wheel is an excellant performer. My average speed during my return journey was 100-120 KM/hr, thanks to the very good quality road otherwise i don't even cross 80 KM/hr speed in normal driving. My earlier car was new Honda City IVTEC; An excellant car and allrounder but if you ask out of these two cars which one i found better. My answer is Hyundai Creta SXO.

Final Words I am a car fanatic and it is my hobby to read and follow about new cars and love driving although i am scientist by profession and heading Chemical R&D of a reputed pharma company. My first car was Fiat Palio, second one Honda city and now creta sxo as i was always looking for SUV having five seaters NOT 7 SEATERS. However most of them were out of my reach before i first saw Creta sxo. I can say LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. I paid all the money and got the car within month.

My suggetion to potential buyer: If your family is small (NMT 5) and looking for luxury ladden, responsive, good looking, comfortable, manageable, fuel efficient, full of safety features, easy handling, value for the money SUV; Just go for Creta SXO. I can assure you; you will not regret.

Areas of improvement Nothing specific i found here but my suggetion to Hyundai is that they have certainly made a very admirable product  however the other features like AWD, Electrically adjustable driver seat should be added. Thanks for reading.

I have purchase the car on 26th july. Now I have driven 2000 km. The Pros reg the car are It is good in its external appearance,inside space, Driving comfortability, good head lamps. The cons are No permanent day light running even for SX(O) No cool glove box (Both are provided in I 20 active. No automatic folding rear view mirrors. The major issue is regarding the blue tooth connectivity and telephone number storing incapability. The Memory of the car loses when it is switched off. Even though the automatic updation option is provided it is not functioning well. I have complained this to the dealer by 10 th of august NO FEED BACK. The back side bumber containts 2 attachments with slits on either side causes the dirt to leak to back side.This can be avoided if the bumber is casted monolithically. The wipers feel much thick. The Milage indicator as well as distance to empty indicator are the minimum features to be incorporated in this type of vehicle. They are not included. instead Digital speed indicator, service indicator are provided.

good appearancetelephone contacts are to be updated in each vehicle start. No memmory

Comfortable sitting position and the drive is very smooth. I drove that car for 250kms so far and noticed problem with the audio system. Good car but Touch screen audio system not working from day 1. I took the car to service center and asked for replacement. The service center technician observed that when the car is moving the volume goes to as low as 4 and comes back to normal by itself randomly. But this is not happening when the car is not moving. They yet to change the system. The awful thing is that technicians also doesn’t have proper knowledge. First they thought it might be some settings. But there is nothing to do with settings.  They tried factory reset but still it did not work.

I'll update as soon as they confirm anything about the solution. It is very surprising that it has a fault right from the factory. And its been delivered to the customer.

Comfortable sitting position and the drive is very smooth.Good car but Touch screen audio system not working from day 1.

Exterior Real masculine look. Great ground clearance. Due to its compact size, very comfortable for Indian roads. 17" alloy wheel makes it fit for any Indian road conditions. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The overall space is well utilized. Just enough for almost all practical purposes. But luggage area is bit limited, may be because of the compact size of the vehicle. Built in GPS is another addition to the comfort it gives.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Though my vehicle is a diesel variant, I do not find any difference between my previous corolla altis petrol vehicle. Great performance, Smooth gear shifting.

Ride Quality & Handling Very easy to handle. Comfortable driving experience. 

Final Words Value for money.

Areas of improvement Either the manufacturer or the dealer should have provided floor mat as part of the standard equipment. As this vehicle is new, unable to find floor mats for this vehicle.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) About this I  want to say that on 3rd jan 2016 I went on road trip with my family From Sunder Nagar (HP) to Mumbai via Delhi, Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur, Ahemdabad, surat. Also visit shirdi, Nanded, Goa & return via Jaisalmer, Jodhpur Jaipur Agra etc. reached back on 17 jan 2016. This trip was of5400 kms. On this road trip there is no excertion to any body, trip was very -2 comfertable. Our maximum journey was from udaipur to mumbai ie 755km which is over night drive,with only one break at express way. We are three drivers-my son, daughter & my self, but no one ready to vacate driver seat. During this trip all were safe & sound, Creta also goes nicely all over the trip, CRETA demand only deisel. This is our fantastic road trip on creta s (o). Hyundai ke features ka jawab nhi.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox All is GOOD.Hoping fuel economy will improve after 2nd.service.

Ride Quality & Handling Bus Maja aa gya CRETA PAR LONG DRIVE KA.

Final Words What A SUV. My next road trip on CRETA is to Nepal.

Areas of improvement Service of  hyundai & dealers to the costumers.

fuel economy is not good,but up to the mark ie 15km/l (after 1st service).Style is excellentgood interiors,with more space look like room back side of front seats

Exterior looks like mini Santafe.  Every thing like head lamp tail lamp come grill front and 

Back bumper very well. Hyundai 2.0 fluidic design make excellent look fro front as well back. Ground clearance 190 mm gives you lots of confidence while driving specially bad roads or off road.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 

 Very spacious and excellent built quality. Leather seat and dashboard make feel like very premium car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 1.6 ltr desiel crdi engine used for this SUV generate 128ps power with 260nm torque make very smooth to drive. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Excellent SUV for self driving. I am driving about 100 km per day and feel not so tired. The engine is very quit after crossing 100 kmph. 

Final Words

 This one is master piece from Hyundai. This is perfect SUV and value for money. Earlier lots of reviews told that this one is overpriced by Hyundai. But after using this SUV it's not look like so. Thats why This SUV is creating sensation around auto world in India.

Areas of improvement  

 Need 4×4 for off road driving. 

 

Style performance look and ground clearance4 wheel drive

Ride is comfortable but needs beeter ground clearance. 205 mm woulf have been desirable. Excellent exterior, plush interior (SX(o)) Mileage is good if you dont try the engine too much and rev hard. I have driven it 39509 Kms in 3 yrs and 1 month. Service is expesive. The dealerships do not use sealed engine oil; rather they bring oil in used canister from bulk supply despite charging 1.8 times more that open market. This part of hyundai dealerhip absolutely sucks. Big time. Overall. Excellent product but service centers are a let down
