Things you need to know before buying a Creta

As Hyundai calls it the perfect SUV, I think it does stand up to that name. No wonders that this SUV sells out in such huge numbers leading it's segment. It's a great car to buy as it has the most stunning exterior design and has that premium appeal compared to it's rivals like the capture, kicks, duster,etc. As soon as you step inside the cabin you might feel the instrument cluster and the infotainment system a bit outdated but still gets the job done. Feature wise I think it is well loaded with safety features such as ABS with EBD, dual front airbags, rear parking sensors common across all the variants. There are 3 types of engines on offer- 1.4L diesel with only MT, 1.6L petrol with MT and AT(only SX variant), 1.6L diesel with MT and AT(only SX variant). The cabin is well designed with HIVE body structure and the engine noise does not enter the cabin. Riding comfort is pretty decent as the suspension is on the softer side going through potholes can sometimes be felt inside the cabin. There has always been an issue with the breaking of previous gen creta and I think it still remains the same with this one too. The catch of the brakes does not offer great feel and feedback. Also in the case of the steering wheel, driving in the city is much more easier as the steering is light. But as soon as you enter the highway and going through sharp corners you might feel that the steering could have been a bit more heavier to give you that confidence around corners. The pros and the cons I think of this car. PROS - Spacious to accommodate 5 people easily. - Good boot space (400 litres). - Electrically adjustable ORVM's. - Sliding driver armrest. - Cruise control. - Auto dimming IRVM. - Wireless charger. - Rear AC vents. CONS - No rear disc brakes. - Spare wheel is not an alloy. - No AT for top end variant SX(O). - 60:40 split seats offered only in automatic variant SX. - No dual tone colour option for the top end. - No front parking sensors. - No 4*4 offered. Overall it's a great family car and an amazing car to drive only thing I felt is that it's a bit overpriced otherwise if budget is not a problem for you and you're looking for an SUV that is easy to drive in day to day traffic and family trips on an weekend I think you must consider Creta. And at last don't ever go and purchase a car blindly. Take multiple test drives, experience the car properly and only when you think you are satisfied with the car only then consider buying it. Remember at the end of the day it's your hard earned money that you're going to spend. Hope my review was useful and pardon me if I missed out anything. Thank you!
