This is what a mature and unbiased review looks like. Having a favourite car brand and bashing a rival brand doesn’t help anyone. Unbiased reviews like these are rare on RUclips these days but are extremely important for larger good of car enthusiasts community.
Telling people to skip right to the end and get the summary instead of spending 40 minutes is a bold move. Views won't be counted if people only watch 10 percent of a video. This shows that they don't care much about the superficial stuff. They care about serving the audience. Hats off!!!
Trademark Creta owner traits: 1: Highbeam Flashing 2: Continuous Honking 3: Following too close to the vehicles infront, even on open highways. 4: Thinking of it as Paul Walker's R34 GTR in Fast 4 and driving it like that way in the city and traffic conditions 5: Window all blacked out with the tints borrowed from House Harkonnen from Dune itself so that not a single glimmer of daylight would enter that cabin. 6: Playing music so loud with the windows closed that the motorcyclists waiting at the signal nearby would get abs workout because of the bass boom. 7: Did i mention "Honking"? P.S: We never have done this and don't think we do this just because we own two Cretas lol.
Now do one for Scorpio owners or better Thar owners. Bhaukal owners of Fortuners But maybe that doesn't sit well with narrative of bashing MS and Hyundai I guess.
This is a baseline of all car drivers now irrespective of make. We are a country who likes to honk and disturb others (even nights while parking people take immense fun in keeping the lock noise on to disturb others) as the immense pleasure.
We actually have the 2015 1st gen Creta with the iconic 1.6CRDi motor and the 2nd gen pre facelift model with the 1.4 DCT in our family. Both have served us well till now( 1.6D Creta has done 376k kms and 1.4DCT Creta has done 48k kms). Brand Creta for the win!🔥🔥🔥🔥 The 1st gen Creta is surely the most handsome of all Cretas but the soft suspension always had given us second thoughts if you want to have some fun on highways. Its more of a cruiser. No such issues in the 2nd gen Creta. Its dynamics are in the whole another level if we compare it to the 1st gen Creta.
@@motorinc We have done travelled the entire Odisha state and some of its neighbours in the diesel Creta and it munched miles like there's no tomorrow. Lol
I have installed Coil Spring Buffer called Car Stabilizer Pro @Rs10k in my 1st gen Creta and reduced the bouncy ride. In my opinion it's the best accessory for the 1st gen Creta. Overal Height increases by 1inch and suspension becomes stiffer which can reduce the Ride Quality little bit.
I only wish Motorinc First existed couple of years ago. Shumi talking about the Gen 1 390 Duke and Karthik talking about the Abarth Punto. The good days.
Oh! That's how all the 90's and 2000's born kids grew up and MotorInc has been able to put my enthusiasm alive by such great Sunday mornings. Such a great resemblance brother. I fully agree with your opinion ❤
I think there's a big lesson here for TATA Motors to learn. Rather than making "Personas" that nobody can remember, they should thing about making something like TATA's version of N-Line instead. I know I've seen the Altroz racer but it's not on the road yet. Their DARK pack is the best platform to make a sporty version of a Harrier or the Safari. Thanks for educating us about this kind of stuff that generally we won't be aware of. I've watched other videos on the Creta N-Line where they were getting excited by the new sporty looking diffuser & the rear spoiler, you're the only people who raised the question of practicality so I bow down to you people with respect. Anybody can get excited by things that you see for the first time but one needs the audacity to take a step back & think about it's purpose. Hat's off to you guys! Love from Bengaluru! Also sorry for a lengthy comment!😉
Glad to you mentioned the high beams and flashing lights bcz i feel ppl actually listen to you guys. And a great idea to lower the stance a bit to make it feel sportier, enthusiasts will definitely appreciate it . Good video guys and all the best for the next one
You guys make sundays better!! Can we have an episode on the state of the Japanese companies in India please, we've loved their bikes for their performance and reliability but now seem to be missing out on some of the best in class motorcyles which they refuse to bring to India in a meaningful way
I recently bought an i20 n line and I totally get how that steering wheel changes the feel of what it's like to drive the car. It's a significant factor in why I've put 800km on it in 3 weeks! Hyundai gets a huge plus from me for having an option for 25 y/o enthusiasts who look at europe and their hot hatches with envy, and the n line experience has changed how I look at the brand itself.
@@823fax we got the n8, but I personally wanted to go for the n6. Dad vetoed that decision since he thought the top variant had better features for some reason.
Another hitting it out of the park episode guys. Thanks a ton for making my Sunday. I am an owner of a Polo TSI which is closing on 11 years and want to upgrade to a spacious vehicle. I hate the looks of the Creta since the gen 2 and that hasn’t changed with the newer generation and the N line. Despite that I look past it, as I feel that it’s one of the most practical vehicle available for a user like me who is an enthusiast at heart but need to be aware of family needs and this N line seems to have made it a bit more appealing. The trouble however is the dealership experience, it’s been a month since I visited both Hyundai and Kia showrooms in town, both don’t have a turbo DCT for a TD and want me to drive a diesel MT and book the car. When Kartik mentioned about doing back to back test drives of the regular Turbo and the N line turbo, I felt really sad. The only dealerships who offered a TD of all the combinations of engine and transmission are the VAG people. They are Incredible driving machines, which doesn’t offer a peace of mind. Sucks being stuck in a limbo like this. Thanks again guys!
It's so funny and kind of ironic that while the social media keyboard racers are continuously and relentlessly crapping on Hyundai for whatever reason, Hyundai is the only mass market brand even remotely catering to the enthusiasts. Also, kudos to Hyundai for taking such decisions. N lines and hopefully futures Ns are definitely not practical purchases - I don't think a lot of people are ready to spend 13L+ on an i20 - but that fact doesn't stop Hyundai from going the extra mile to make something just a tad bit more exciting for its customer base to enjoy. Hopefully soon enough they'll start bringing the actual proper Ns to the country.
Honestly it feels like a complete VFM car is not there in the market. Citroen has all the basics right but forgot to get some good features into the car, elevate forgot to add any features till zx, creta.. For features like basic cruise control need to go to the high end varient, Tigun is having dsg issues, maruti and Toyota the engine isn't powerful enough and they are cutting down money on safety aspects but have most of the features. There is no car out there which just balances features and power and provide a good VFM. It's like people who are going for the mid variant has to make sacrifices or go for the top end varient all together. 😢
Can you guys make a video on which cars Karthik would choose in every segment ?? I am finding myself very synergetic with Karthik’s drive experience .would love to know which would my next car be
Superb review, covered all the points beautifully! Got my Creta N-line delivered on Sat in black (probably the 1st one in Blr). Already driven 1100 kms and I'm absolutely in love with the car. Hyundai have nailed it. It has dual personality. It's sporty enough for occasional spirited runs and perfectly comfortable for the long road trips with family.
@@SiddharajSolanki I've done quite a few long road trips. The experience has been nothing short of amazing so far. Nothing really to complain. About ADAS, it actually works very well in all scenarios if you are a laid back driver. If you are a spirited driver and you do quick overtakes squeezing through trucks on highways, keeping FCA on is a big NO because it will not know that you are about to change lane so it will slow down the car abruptly. I personally switch FCA on and off based on my mood on a given trip (there's a shortcut button on the steering wheel to go the FCA menu quickly). In rush hour city traffic I keep it off because even though it effectively avoids forward collision, the strong braking might result in someone tailending you😅. I keep all other ADAS features always on. Quite handy.
I have had an N Line for 3 months now and have driven more than 5k kms, been to manali, Baralachala. Loved the overall experience. I completely agree with the point that this has been tuned so sweetly that the overall experience goes a number of notches ahead. With respect to ADAS, I have a differing opinion to your and love using it. But that is something totally “to each his own”!!
Ok shumii should answer this in the next podcast at any cost….i mean where is the freaking mic dude… i have watched every sec of every podcast that motorinc had produced…at first i used see Rodes wire less mic, but later the mic disappeared. I know the audio can be recorded with ambiant mic, but at this quality I don’t think so??
This show seems like Kartik has been bought by Hyundai and the car reviewers association use MotorInc as a counselling session for him. 😂 (we all know what Hyundai is doing in the Indian market) jokes aside, it’s true as Kartik says that Hyundai must be appreciated. It’s the only company that is listening to the Indian market. But come on man they are listening but is trying to fool the market. I’m with Shumi on this one because fake is fake. Companies should embrace honesty rather than marketing gimmicks. ( but I like the fake diffuser. Still looks better than a big diaper like what Maruti does with fronx and grand vitara)
@@motorinc Big diaper as in those diffuser like covering that car companies put on the back of the car instead of old school bumpers. Check out the back of grand vitara and fronx. They look like they have been given a big wedgie 😆
I hope it doesn't gets more hedious please stop Hyundai 😭... Y can't they design stuff like the ioniqe 5 and 6 and tht hybrid h2 electric retro sports car thing those look soo good . I feel sad for the creta always having the worst looks...
Hey Shumi✋🏻 Just an observation at 1:45 editor missed 😅and its a repeat of few seconds Btw lots of love to both of you, love watching the episodes 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻 Also Kartikeya can you please tell me about your shoes really liked them 😅😅
What is this guy saying... I am ready to buy a ev by paying 5 lakh extra.. Tell me how India is producing electricity today? It's still 80% from burning coal.. Coming to his last statement of banning diesel.. How much more pollution bs6 diesel does than petrol engine.. 1. 25 times.. But for the same km we burn 1.5 times petrol tha diesel.. Why can't they do anything about old trucks and Comercial vehicle.. Those are the one running all the time.. 🤔
Yeah the creta owner memes are: 1.Flashing high beams even in normal street and even in broad daylight. 2. Honking like maniacs. 3. Driving annoyingly slow when the road is empty and driving reckless when it's not at all needed. 4. And being on their smartphones. 5. Then there's a meme saga of using Hyundai cars as safety car in f1 so that someone can overtake max verstappen. These have been my experiences in real life and I relate to these memes quite a lot.
Nah Nah, We are well okay with the full video guys. We like the Rantings, the advices to OEMs, the nitpicking, the Sarcasm, the good, the bad, the fun, the jokes and all the rest. Don't just shorten the videos. Many like your long videos.
I’m waiting for thar 5 door. Still can’t decide if I’m going to get Creta n line or thar 5 door. Very confusing. Creta n line and thar 5 door will probably price very similarly. But thar 5 door will have a bigger engine and more power while in fuel efficiency Creta n line would be better. Creta n line would also offer better interior and offer better ease of driving in traffic. But thar will be capable off the road and more reliable overall. Creta n line don’t have 4x4. While thar 5 door will have it. In terms of looks both looks good in there own way. Creta n line is futuristic and modern but after 10 years the Creta n line looks won’t be much a of looker as it is now cause newer models will outshine it. Hyundai cars are never known to age well in terms of looks. While thar has a classic look which age well and will always look good no matter how old it is. But thar don’t have panaromic sunroof, posh interiors like Creta n line. Very difficult to choose which car should I Get.
The moment Shumi said that there should be Verna-N version on the cards, I instantly anticipated a 'VernaN' version in Hindi. And when this ACTUALLY came from him , I burst out Laughing! 😆😆 But the Pitch for Verna-N was actually good and made great sense!
@motorinc I am planning to buy a suv for family use with a budget of 18lakhs to 23lakhs I have my first options as creta 2) 3xo Ax5L 3) Honda Elevate Can you please suggest to me which variant i should buy in creta either 1.5L cvt petrol Sx(o) or Nline N8 ? Also can you please suggest if i should consider any other car in this segment? My Checklist 1) Good space for 3 people on rear seat 2) Good engine pick up and Mileage 3) medium bootspace 4) budget btw 15lac to 22 lac 5) safety 6) maintenance cost
Can i do this for Hindi Audiance. Impressed with your approach. Drove n line i20 not buying for safety reasons. I enjoy my xuv and Ritz for powerful driving. Drove 120 plus cars. Have build good understanding. A RE Lover too. May soon test creata. Tested Grand Vitara first suzuki enjoyed after long time. Swift felt unimpressive, so was normal i20. The story continues....
I am tempted to finish this podcast right now, but I'd rather savour this at night. Your episodes have a calming effect on me, but puts me to sleep fast(in a good way-like grand ma's bed time stories). So, I eventually keep coming back to your podcasts the following day to finish. And, I am not even in the market for a new vehicle! Kudos on creating a new benchmark in automobile reviews. The greatest of lullabies for the enthusiasts. Keep 'em coming!
Karthik speaks like he is speaking his mind and heart ‘honestly’… on the other side Shumi, person on right hand side seems biased against Hyundai and that is pretty evident from hos OVERemphasis on leatherette/fake etc. Karthik explained the car superbly !! I test drove the n line today and have also driven Taigun GT… I 100% agree it is very great car to drive and awesome driving dynamics with new steering & balanced suspension..
Hi Shumi and Kartik! I'm a brand new 'MotorIncer'. The format of automotive coverage on this channel is a game-changer. The way you share your experiences with the vehicles is more insightful, particularly when the back and forth kicks in. I hope this streak continues and the channel grows quantitatively, but not at the cost of the quality of your production and discussion. Also, I really hope that automakers are keeping tabs because the suggestions, expectations and ideas you pitch are more reflective of what consumers need and want. Keep up the awesome work!
@@motorinc I mean that which is comfortable, Fun to drive and drivers car it is. Or you can say, if I have say 19-20 lakhs in my pocket, where should I bet (being only two people in my family)
I HAVE A DOUBT TO BUY CRETA N LINE - There are 2 things: 1. Wanted to buy cars near 23 lack 2. Wanted to know that will there be any cost on engine if it doesn't run for long run?
I cant help but crack every time shumi takes a dig at leather* and fake diffuser and exhaust note meme, and karthikeya sigh on that, And TO make it more sportier in feel of drive It'd be nice to add awd, and rwd are its variant, anyway they made a seperate line up for sports thingy, might as well inetegrate this, for perfomance and handling, I'm commenting as I go in to the episode further, Do not mind the edits
Honestly i own ecosport TDCi and I have driven the creta n line. I believe nothing comes close to ford of how ride and handling balance they offer. I really miss ford India😢 Indian customers lost enthusiasts cars and now they are trying to search compromised options
You missed one major point: There is a HUGE gap between Nline in India and the one released in SEA. Just imagine smaller markets than us get better cars and bikes and than us including performance lines.
30:20 the real bigshot suggestion Will be to bring i20 N 1.5 turbo in india. In 15lkh It has .launch control . Better transmission . Insane exhaust . Insane suspension . Insane tyres . Adas These are very unique performance and experience upliftment features absent in indian hithatches In 15lkh. It would be a hot hatch hit
I think one point you missed out is whether someone who has booked a regular creta say iVT petrol AT or turbo petrol DCT should change his decision for N-line?. I was waiting to hear that as I have booked iVT AT SX(O) hearing you folks partly talking great about naturally aspirating petrol engine as I am not a performance freak. I need around 15-16 kms per litre on highways as I travel 100 kms per day with around 50 kms on the highway. But this commentary on N-line made me concerned specially about the steering of iVT AT petrol. Appreciate if you quickly help with a quick input as I have to pay the amount in 2 days time.
I think it's a great question. Many out there who booked normal creta ivt or dct petrol would be wondering, if they can reroute their bookings on n-line. The steering stuff in previous videos by Karthik on 2024 facelift was not that harsh that it sounded now on his take on steering of n-line.
I’m in the same boat with you. N8 DCT or SX(O) ivt. Both are coming at around same price on road. Now it comes down to better performance and better handling car or decent performance and decent handling car + features like bigger infotainment, bose speakers, 360 cam, ventilated seats, power adjustable seats and ADAS.
For turbo-dct buyers it’s simple - go N Line. Yes, the steering is uninvolving, but it isn’t a deal breaker. For iVT buyers - it’s not so straightforward. That’s a better commute machine - smoother at low speeds, more efficient and better equipped. So, unless you are looking to drive more on highways or faster we would say stick with the iVT. If you are willing to look past the features of the SX O seriously - and say I want to enjoy my drives more - you have your answer. Will you? We’d love to know. Kartikeya totally would. If you have any more questions - fire away.
@@motorinc thank you. I am a fan of comfort loving drive humming few gazals on the way, than extracting excitement and adrenaline. So your answer helps me. I will stick with iVT AT NA petrol. However, if you talk about un involving steering, what does it actually mean as I have to maintain a speed of 90-100 on highway stretch of 50 kms out of total 100 kms per day. Does it mean that I need to be cautious while driving!!!. I have driven a Honda City petrol V for the last 8 years and am now driving Celerio AT till the time I get Creta. Any thoughts.
As a brand, I've really grown fond of Hyundai in the recent years. They've grown into a very reliable, customer friendly manufacturer. Their designs are fresh and experimental and their cars are just a superior experience all-in-all.
I had a habbit of having lazy sundays which eventually meant that monday blues are inevitable.. and it became a literal meme that where did my weekend go.. so now i do a lazy saturday and get myself going on sunday rides/drives.. early morning and man it feels alive.. no more monday blues and sunday is where the momentum gets build for the rest of the week.. Just wanted to share.. thank you for making my sunday all the more enjoyable #vernaNkaVernan
I know this is not related to the video but could you please make a VIEW episode on the Honda NX500 because I really love the bike and I am considering to buy it but I don’t want to make a bad choice between the NX500 and Himalayan 450 as there is a major difference in price( which is not a huge problem but it is a major deciding factor in terms for value for money) and in specifications. Overall please help me decide to choose between the two🙏🏻 [Note]: I do want to keep it for a long time.
There are three points where I don't like Creta. I was planning to buy it (Creta N-line top model), I was about to book it the next day, then I discovered the following: 1. why is Creta not having 5 star safety rating. There is no use of 6 airbags and ADAS level - 2, if you are going to die after crash. 2. This is most expensive car in the segment. But top model does not give wireless apple car play and wireless android auto. Why both of them are wired. How do I take office Zoom/Teams/Webex/Google-Meet calls while I am in traffic, why do I have to connect wire with it. Experience should be smooth, the moment I enter the car, Android auto or apple car play should get auto connected (wireless). 3. You cannot connect Bluetooth while car is in motion. You will have to stop the car and then connect the Bluetooth . Above three are the biggest flip points for my decision. I have booked Mahindra XUV 3XO
Hi Kartikeya and Shumi, I love watching your videos to the extent that in all the years of watching RUclips videos, I think this is my first comment on a video ever. Great job, please keep it up. Please read on… One Hyundai/Kia feature that Kartikeya had pointed out in his Seltos review was the tilting seat feature. This was never spoken of after that in any of your videos (Or any other video covering the Korean cars). I am a tall (191 cm) man, and under-thigh support is a big part of seat comfort for me. I recently test drove most sedans and csuvs in the 15-20L price bracket - even went a segment up to Harrier/Octavia/Compass. I am not an enthusiastic driver and 90% of my driving is in the city. I was amazed at how much of the difference this tilty seat feature makes to the seat comfort and the fact that NO car maker has this feature other than the Koreans. Honestly, this feature made such a big difference for me that I am not sure I can even consider any car other than creta/seltos anymore. This brings me to my big grouse with the Koreans: 1. Why couldn’t they get the manual seats to also tilt? I don’t care about automatic seat adjustment, but I am having to pay for it just for this feature. 2. Because this feature is only compatible with auto seats, I am having to pay extra towards ADAS also. In context of this video, I’ll have to choose the N10 just because of the tilty seat. There is no version of seltos/creta which gets auto seats but no ADAS. It’s worse with Seltos. I can’t get tilty seat with an IVT gearbox at all! 3. Why can’t this be brought in the Verna? It’s just a perfect car I thought. Not even the top version of Verna gets this! When you’re driving at 20 kph 90% of the times (true for most of the people), ergonomics and driver / passenger comfort become way more important than the extent to which these things are being covered by the media presently. I hope you spend a little (just a little more) time in discussing comfort and ergonomics.
Hullo! Just skipping to the 8 way adjustable electric seat - it is available with the SX O with the IVT. We checked the brochure too. Please let us know if there’s anything we could help with.
Hey guys! Love shumi's jokes and kartikeya's efforts to contain laughter 👍 Is there any chance you guys will cover Xuv300 in one of your videos? Also, there's rumours about a facelift of Xuv300, please do a MotorInc First episode on that🙏🙏 Pleaseee! 😇
What a session 😂... Just beautiful... I have graduated to watch most RUclips videos on 2X speed, but this channel i watch to relax. My 2 cents, in today's session the occasional written descriptions that came were a little bit long and fast moving to read.
Sir, I have a concern regarding the new design language of Hyundai cars. Design language of Hyundai changed a lot. Whatever they are trying to be, but as per looks it's polarizing. The new Creta N looks like a big brother of exter. Exter was itself looking an unfinished product in terms of front and rear bumper, side beading unDer the fender with abruptly stops and does not continue in the door and so on... The 1st gen Aura was decent... But now the aura looks a tone deaf version of Verna.... The recent upgrade of i20 (2024) looks not so good from rear. Venue also looks not so good in the facelift. Looks like the foglight housing (just above the skid plate, without the foglight) is just added... Not at all integrated with skid plate or with the front grill and thus looks odd. Same from the rear. Creta had a fair share of demand from beginning after the new gen launched, and it continued but demand other cars of Hyundai has decreased in recent times. I have seen the last month sales report of Hyundai from your video only... They have been demoted from their 2nd position to 3rd after decades. What's your view on that?
Yep! They have failed to create more superstars like the Creta. The Santro failed. The Nios and Xcent are so so. The Alcazar is not as strong as the Carens. They need to be bolder with their products.
No sir absolutely not I would love to listen(not watch)to the entire conversation, in washroom, during cooking, in public transport, while having a meal. Skipping has always been been easy but.......
I have already booked dct creta normal and now n line will cost more 70k ( Haryana no 30k plus 40k rto extra)… is it worth to switch to n line by paying 70k extra… 90% drive in city and need comfort ride with bit fun too… plz suggest… does dark interior looking good compared to light colour interior Of normal creta turbo variant??
TBH I was watching the entire video for VERNA N line and not much for Creta. But news is just got out that there are no plans in near future for Verna N line (at least in India). May be you cab do 1 better, get a pole (via youtube/google doc or by some means) and present it to Hundayi. May be they will reconsider their Decesion. After all you are respected auto generalist #BigFan ❤
I know the motorinc team is not going to read this comment. But I just hope and really hope shumi provide his thoughts and insights for the Honda hness cb350 and I would love to watch to that 40-45 mins video. ❤️❤️
We try and respond to all comments, with our small team it does get overwhelming sometimes. We are chasing Honda for past 9 months🤷♂️. All we can say for now that we will cover soon. We can’t promise any timelines.
Having driven the Venue N line and the new Nexon i can safely say Venue N Line is way more sportier when it comes to performance. The Venue DCA is better tuned than the Nexon DCA. However, i think Nexon suspension are better tuned because the Venue suspension are way too stiff. They feel stiffer than the VW Polo. About Creta N Line, from an aesthetic point of view i think a performance version should have flat bottom steering.
Would love to know what vehicles you guys bring home for yourselfs and what was the thought process behind it. Considering you get to drive almost all of them and are aware of more factors than the average customer. How are those to live with and all those stuff.
In 2015, we were driving the Hyundai Sonata in Panvel and there was a new big speed breaker which we thought will clear by driving in zig zag way but the Sonata got stuck on that breaker. We literally had to get down n push the car to get it unstuck
Talking about "additional spend" I think that's exactly why India did NOT get the actual facelift of the creta globally. It seems quite apparent that they went in for a cheaper facelift and gave the bullsh*t that for India they wanted something unique.
Just loved the reviews, and yes, I'm one of those fans who save your long videos for the weekend and watch them fully, so please keep the long videos coming, it's nice to know and understand about automobiles and also know which one to go for based on your discussions.
This is what a mature and unbiased review looks like. Having a favourite car brand and bashing a rival brand doesn’t help anyone. Unbiased reviews like these are rare on RUclips these days but are extremely important for larger good of car enthusiasts community.
Thank you for taking time to watch and write in! Appreciate it!
Shumi doesn't have a favourite brand but a favourite mode of transport tho 😉
The bashing goes towards the other mode of transport 😂😂
Telling people to skip right to the end and get the summary instead of spending 40 minutes is a bold move. Views won't be counted if people only watch 10 percent of a video. This shows that they don't care much about the superficial stuff. They care about serving the audience. Hats off!!!

Um, no. Honestly, there's so much work to be done, figuring out where we're being discussed etc isn't possible for us 🤷🏽♂️
Trademark Creta owner traits:
1: Highbeam Flashing
2: Continuous Honking
3: Following too close to the vehicles infront, even on open highways.
4: Thinking of it as Paul Walker's R34 GTR in Fast 4 and driving it like that way in the city and traffic conditions
5: Window all blacked out with the tints borrowed from House Harkonnen from Dune itself so that not a single glimmer of daylight would enter that cabin.
6: Playing music so loud with the windows closed that the motorcyclists waiting at the signal nearby would get abs workout because of the bass boom.
7: Did i mention "Honking"?
P.S: We never have done this and don't think we do this just because we own two Cretas lol.
Gurgaon Cretas 😂😂
@@rmk_ro Here in Odisha as well!
That Dune reference was accurate.😂
And you did mention the Honking.🤣

But maybe that doesn't sit well with narrative of bashing MS and Hyundai I guess.
This is a baseline of all car drivers now irrespective of make. We are a country who likes to honk and disturb others (even nights while parking people take immense fun in keeping the lock noise on to disturb others) as the immense pleasure.
We actually have the 2015 1st gen Creta with the iconic 1.6CRDi motor and the 2nd gen pre facelift model with the 1.4 DCT in our family. Both have served us well till now( 1.6D Creta has done 376k kms and 1.4DCT Creta has done 48k kms). Brand Creta for the win!🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 1st gen Creta is surely the most handsome of all Cretas but the soft suspension always had given us second thoughts if you want to have some fun on highways. Its more of a cruiser. No such issues in the 2nd gen Creta. Its dynamics are in the whole another level if we compare it to the 1st gen Creta.
Woah! 326k! That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing Abhinash!
@@motorinc We have done travelled the entire Odisha state and some of its neighbours in the diesel Creta and it munched miles like there's no tomorrow. Lol
I have installed Coil Spring Buffer called Car Stabilizer Pro @Rs10k in my 1st gen Creta and reduced the bouncy ride.
In my opinion it's the best accessory for the 1st gen Creta.
Overal Height increases by 1inch and suspension becomes stiffer which can reduce the Ride Quality little bit.
That 1.6 and the 2015 generation is so far my favorite both in looks and performance.
It's shocking to hear that your car ran for 350k kms. My car sonata engine started dying from 120k kms.

I think there's a big lesson here for TATA Motors to learn. Rather than making "Personas" that nobody can remember, they should thing about making something like TATA's version of N-Line instead. I know I've seen the Altroz racer but it's not on the road yet. Their DARK pack is the best platform to make a sporty version of a Harrier or the Safari.
Thanks for educating us about this kind of stuff that generally we won't be aware of. I've watched other videos on the Creta N-Line where they were getting excited by the new sporty looking diffuser & the rear spoiler, you're the only people who raised the question of practicality so I bow down to you people with respect. Anybody can get excited by things that you see for the first time but one needs the audacity to take a step back & think about it's purpose. Hat's off to you guys! Love from Bengaluru! Also sorry for a lengthy comment!😉
AS! Saying sorry for a long comment! Why! Come on man! We live for the conversations. Thank you!
@@motorinc 🥰🥰 I enjoy the conversations too!
Having all three generations of creta in one house is a proof that we are living in the Creta Yug 😂
Ohhh!! Zupah!
Superb one!
Glad to you mentioned the high beams and flashing lights bcz i feel ppl actually listen to you guys. And a great idea to lower the stance a bit to make it feel sportier, enthusiasts will definitely appreciate it .
Good video guys and all the best for the next one
Awesome! Thanks for that Sparsh!
I'm not generally interested in cars but I'll tune in to see these two discuss anything.
Hello! Thanks for that!
You guys make sundays better!! Can we have an episode on the state of the Japanese companies in India please, we've loved their bikes for their performance and reliability but now seem to be missing out on some of the best in class motorcyles which they refuse to bring to India in a meaningful way
It’s pencilled in! And have an awesome Sunday!
@@motorinc did talk about it in the Honda elevate vid
I recently bought an i20 n line and I totally get how that steering wheel changes the feel of what it's like to drive the car. It's a significant factor in why I've put 800km on it in 3 weeks!
Hyundai gets a huge plus from me for having an option for 25 y/o enthusiasts who look at europe and their hot hatches with envy, and the n line experience has changed how I look at the brand itself.
Good for you! Congratulations too! Glad to hear about your garage!
Hey... Which variant?
@@823fax we got the n8, but I personally wanted to go for the n6. Dad vetoed that decision since he thought the top variant had better features for some reason.
Slammed Creta :-
No for me Indian Roads...
Yes for only on Highway Rides...
6:07 I remember shumi saying once he had two RD 350s in his garage
Yes. He did say while he was young and starting out, he had two RD 350s.
No fighting!
I also had 2 ,my friend had the second 😊.
Shumi’s side eyes 👀 after every witty comment is one of many reasons I love this content 😂
IKR.😂🤣

Your Opinion on this vs Kushaq Monte carlo 1.5 in terms of driving dynamics
Ironically Shumi, MotorInc First is the only youtube series that gives me joy the longer it is, genuinely.
Another hitting it out of the park episode guys. Thanks a ton for making my Sunday. I am an owner of a Polo TSI which is closing on 11 years and want to upgrade to a spacious vehicle. I hate the looks of the Creta since the gen 2 and that hasn’t changed with the newer generation and the N line. Despite that I look past it, as I feel that it’s one of the most practical vehicle available for a user like me who is an enthusiast at heart but need to be aware of family needs and this N line seems to have made it a bit more appealing. The trouble however is the dealership experience, it’s been a month since I visited both Hyundai and Kia showrooms in town, both don’t have a turbo DCT for a TD and want me to drive a diesel MT and book the car.
When Kartik mentioned about doing back to back test drives of the regular Turbo and the N line turbo, I felt really sad.
The only dealerships who offered a TD of all the combinations of engine and transmission are the VAG people. They are Incredible driving machines, which doesn’t offer a peace of mind.
Sucks being stuck in a limbo like this.
Thanks again guys!
That’s really a pity! Test drives are a sure shot way of selling a good car. Pity. Hope you get to do it.
Me : cruising peacefully at 100kmph..
meanwhile creta driver from behind
Honks and flashes vigorously for no reason😢 ...🚙🏮 📣📯
I see this from Innova and fortuner.
Gotcha! 😆
I am a first generation CRETA owner and I just LOVE it...thinking about the N Line now
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!
Love your reviews and take them very seriously...big fan. Thank you 😊
It's so funny and kind of ironic that while the social media keyboard racers are continuously and relentlessly crapping on Hyundai for whatever reason, Hyundai is the only mass market brand even remotely catering to the enthusiasts.
Also, kudos to Hyundai for taking such decisions. N lines and hopefully futures Ns are definitely not practical purchases - I don't think a lot of people are ready to spend 13L+ on an i20 - but that fact doesn't stop Hyundai from going the extra mile to make something just a tad bit more exciting for its customer base to enjoy.
Hopefully soon enough they'll start bringing the actual proper Ns to the country.
They deserve their due!
always appreciate the chapters
Glad to hear that!
Honestly it feels like a complete VFM car is not there in the market. Citroen has all the basics right but forgot to get some good features into the car, elevate forgot to add any features till zx, creta.. For features like basic cruise control need to go to the high end varient, Tigun is having dsg issues, maruti and Toyota the engine isn't powerful enough and they are cutting down money on safety aspects but have most of the features. There is no car out there which just balances features and power and provide a good VFM. It's like people who are going for the mid variant has to make sacrifices or go for the top end varient all together. 😢
True. It’s a sweet balance.
Can you guys make a video on which cars Karthik would choose in every segment ?? I am finding myself very synergetic with Karthik’s drive experience .would love to know which would my next car be
Noted sah! And glad to know what you like!
Manual is better or automatic is better of creta nline
Shumi with the innate/N8 puns !!!
😆
I think the N line looks great ! The pre facelift looked hideous
😆
Superb review, covered all the points beautifully! Got my Creta N-line delivered on Sat in black (probably the 1st one in Blr). Already driven 1100 kms and I'm absolutely in love with the car. Hyundai have nailed it. It has dual personality. It's sporty enough for occasional spirited runs and perfectly comfortable for the long road trips with family.
Congratulations Sumanth! Did you get the N8 or N10?
@@motorinc Thank you! N10 DCT
@@SumanthMRao Hi Sumanth, how has been your experience with it so far? Are the ADAS features irritating in the traffic? Specially FCA?
@@SiddharajSolanki I've done quite a few long road trips. The experience has been nothing short of amazing so far. Nothing really to complain. About ADAS, it actually works very well in all scenarios if you are a laid back driver. If you are a spirited driver and you do quick overtakes squeezing through trucks on highways, keeping FCA on is a big NO because it will not know that you are about to change lane so it will slow down the car abruptly. I personally switch FCA on and off based on my mood on a given trip (there's a shortcut button on the steering wheel to go the FCA menu quickly). In rush hour city traffic I keep it off because even though it effectively avoids forward collision, the strong braking might result in someone tailending you😅. I keep all other ADAS features always on. Quite handy.
I have had an N Line for 3 months now and have driven more than 5k kms, been to manali, Baralachala. Loved the overall experience.
I completely agree with the point that this has been tuned so sweetly that the overall experience goes a number of notches ahead.
With respect to ADAS, I have a differing opinion to your and love using it. But that is something totally “to each his own”!!
Agreed @arpan49. We're glad to hear that you're finding ADAS useful.
Ok shumii should answer this in the next podcast at any cost….i mean where is the freaking mic dude… i have watched every sec of every podcast that motorinc had produced…at first i used see Rodes wire less mic, but later the mic disappeared. I know the audio can be recorded with ambiant mic, but at this quality I don’t think so??
😬
Creta N line or Taigun GT or Kushaq 1.5 which would be your pick for driving enthusiasts ?
29:35 yep vernan line 😂❤❤
31:54 verna n ka vernan ho chuka hai guys ❤
😂🤔
This show seems like Kartik has been bought by Hyundai and the car reviewers association use MotorInc as a counselling session for him. 😂 (we all know what Hyundai is doing in the Indian market) jokes aside, it’s true as Kartik says that Hyundai must be appreciated. It’s the only company that is listening to the Indian market. But come on man they are listening but is trying to fool the market. I’m with Shumi on this one because fake is fake. Companies should embrace honesty rather than marketing gimmicks. ( but I like the fake diffuser. Still looks better than a big diaper like what Maruti does with fronx and grand vitara)
Omg! Big diaper! Can’t under that. Appreciate the frank talk. But - please be sure nothing here is paid/sponsored.
@@motorinc Big diaper as in those diffuser like covering that car companies put on the back of the car instead of old school bumpers. Check out the back of grand vitara and fronx. They look like they have been given a big wedgie 😆
Suzuki should bring back Kizashi. But not just redesigned version like Grand Vitara but a proper enthusiasts car.
Not holding our breath!

Hello Karthik
Wanna know how it fares compared to taigun ....would you recommend creta n line over taigun for the driving pleasure ?
I hope it doesn't gets more hedious please stop Hyundai 😭... Y can't they design stuff like the ioniqe 5 and 6 and tht hybrid h2 electric retro sports car thing those look soo good . I feel sad for the creta always having the worst looks...
😆😆
It's always subjective. The new design haa grown on me. Remember the 2nd gen was heavily bashed for the looks but was a bestseller for Hyundai
@@venukrithish007 don't remind me of tht 🫥

Btw lots of love to both of you, love watching the episodes 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻
Also Kartikeya can you please tell me about your shoes really liked them 😅😅
Thanks for that!
What is this guy saying... I am ready to buy a ev by paying 5 lakh extra.. Tell me how India is producing electricity today? It's still 80% from burning coal..
Coming to his last statement of banning diesel.. How much more pollution bs6 diesel does than petrol engine.. 1. 25 times.. But for the same km we burn 1.5 times petrol tha diesel..
Why can't they do anything about old trucks and Comercial vehicle.. Those are the one running all the time.. 🤔
Yeah the creta owner memes are:
1.Flashing high beams even in normal street and even in broad daylight.
2. Honking like maniacs.
3. Driving annoyingly slow when the road is empty and driving reckless when it's not at all needed.
4. And being on their smartphones.
5. Then there's a meme saga of using Hyundai cars as safety car in f1 so that someone can overtake max verstappen.
These have been my experiences in real life and I relate to these memes quite a lot.
lol! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Alex! Thanks for the reassurances! 🙏🏾
I’m waiting for thar 5 door. Still can’t decide if I’m going to get Creta n line or thar 5 door. Very confusing. Creta n line and thar 5 door will probably price very similarly. But thar 5 door will have a bigger engine and more power while in fuel efficiency Creta n line would be better. Creta n line would also offer better interior and offer better ease of driving in traffic. But thar will be capable off the road and more reliable overall. Creta n line don’t have 4x4. While thar 5 door will have it. In terms of looks both looks good in there own way. Creta n line is futuristic and modern but after 10 years the Creta n line looks won’t be much a of looker as it is now cause newer models will outshine it. Hyundai cars are never known to age well in terms of looks. While thar has a classic look which age well and will always look good no matter how old it is. But thar don’t have panaromic sunroof, posh interiors like Creta n line. Very difficult to choose which car should I Get.
Let us know what you decide! Thanks’
The moment Shumi said that there should be Verna-N version on the cards, I instantly anticipated a 'VernaN' version in Hindi. And when this ACTUALLY came from him , I burst out Laughing! 😆😆 But the Pitch for Verna-N was actually good and made great sense!

@motorinc
I am planning to buy a suv for family use with a budget of 18lakhs to 23lakhs
I have my first options as creta
2) 3xo Ax5L
3) Honda Elevate
Can you please suggest to me which variant i should buy in creta either 1.5L cvt petrol Sx(o) or Nline N8 ?
Also can you please suggest if i should consider any other car in this segment?
My Checklist
1) Good space for 3 people on rear seat
2) Good engine pick up and Mileage
3) medium bootspace
4) budget btw 15lac to 22 lac
5) safety
6) maintenance cost
Can i do this for Hindi Audiance. Impressed with your approach. Drove n line i20 not buying for safety reasons. I enjoy my xuv and Ritz for powerful driving. Drove 120 plus cars. Have build good understanding. A RE Lover too. May soon test creata. Tested Grand Vitara first suzuki enjoyed after long time. Swift felt unimpressive, so was normal i20. The story continues....
I am tempted to finish this podcast right now, but I'd rather savour this at night. Your episodes have a calming effect on me, but puts me to sleep fast(in a good way-like grand ma's bed time stories). So, I eventually keep coming back to your podcasts the following day to finish. And, I am not even in the market for a new vehicle!
Kudos on creating a new benchmark in automobile reviews. The greatest of lullabies for the enthusiasts. Keep 'em coming!
Awesome to hear that! Chill with it! Noice!
@@motorinc motorinc and chill 🤐
Karthik speaks like he is speaking his mind and heart ‘honestly’… on the other side Shumi, person on right hand side seems biased against Hyundai and that is pretty evident from hos OVERemphasis on leatherette/fake etc.
Karthik explained the car superbly !!
I test drove the n line today and have also driven Taigun GT… I 100% agree it is very great car to drive and awesome driving dynamics with new steering & balanced suspension..
Hi Shumi and Kartik! I'm a brand new 'MotorIncer'. The format of automotive coverage on this channel is a game-changer. The way you share your experiences with the vehicles is more insightful, particularly when the back and forth kicks in. I hope this streak continues and the channel grows quantitatively, but not at the cost of the quality of your production and discussion. Also, I really hope that automakers are keeping tabs because the suggestions, expectations and ideas you pitch are more reflective of what consumers need and want.
Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much Rakesh! Appreciate it!
C3 AIRCROSS AT (JULY VERSION WITH SOME BETTER FEATURES) or Creta N line DCT? (N8) Which has got a better drivability? Thinking of buying
What do you mean by drivability? Any specific use?
@@motorinc I mean that which is comfortable, Fun to drive and drivers car it is. Or you can say, if I have say 19-20 lakhs in my pocket, where should I bet (being only two people in my family)
I HAVE A DOUBT TO BUY CRETA N LINE - There are 2 things:
1. Wanted to buy cars near 23 lack
2. Wanted to know that will there be any cost on engine if it doesn't run for long run?
I cant help but crack every time shumi takes a dig at leather* and fake diffuser and exhaust note meme, and karthikeya sigh on that, And TO make it more sportier in feel of drive It'd be nice to add awd, and rwd are its variant, anyway they made a seperate line up for sports thingy, might as well inetegrate this, for perfomance and handling,
I'm commenting as I go in to the episode further, Do not mind the edits
So what's the verdict, Sletos X Line vs Creta N Line??
Honestly i own ecosport TDCi and I have driven the creta n line. I believe nothing comes close to ford of how ride and handling balance they offer. I really miss ford India😢
Indian customers lost enthusiasts cars and now they are trying to search compromised options
You missed one major point: There is a HUGE gap between Nline in India and the one released in SEA. Just imagine smaller markets than us get better cars and bikes and than us including performance lines.
🤷♂️ we aren’t getting it in India…
Came for a review, left laughing at the dad jokes. HAHAHAHAh
Vernon is a great one, Kartikey kan't konvince me otherwise

How’s the driving experience compared to Taigun GT and Kushal 1.5 TSI especially the handling part?
30:20 the real bigshot suggestion
Will be to bring
i20 N 1.5 turbo in india.
In 15lkh
It has .launch control
. Better transmission
. Insane exhaust
. Insane suspension
. Insane tyres
. Adas
These are very unique performance and experience upliftment features absent in indian hithatches
In 15lkh.
It would be a hot hatch hit
I think one point you missed out is whether someone who has booked a regular creta say iVT petrol AT or turbo petrol DCT should change his decision for N-line?.
I was waiting to hear that as I have booked iVT AT SX(O) hearing you folks partly talking great about naturally aspirating petrol engine as I am not a performance freak. I need around 15-16 kms per litre on highways as I travel 100 kms per day with around 50 kms on the highway. But this commentary on N-line made me concerned specially about the steering of iVT AT petrol.
Appreciate if you quickly help with a quick input as I have to pay the amount in 2 days time.
I think it's a great question. Many out there who booked normal creta ivt or dct petrol would be wondering, if they can reroute their bookings on n-line. The steering stuff in previous videos by Karthik on 2024 facelift was not that harsh that it sounded now on his take on steering of n-line.
I’m in the same boat with you. N8 DCT or SX(O) ivt. Both are coming at around same price on road. Now it comes down to better performance and better handling car or decent performance and decent handling car + features like bigger infotainment, bose speakers, 360 cam, ventilated seats, power adjustable seats and ADAS.
For turbo-dct buyers it’s simple - go N Line.
Yes, the steering is uninvolving, but it isn’t a deal breaker.
For iVT buyers - it’s not so straightforward. That’s a better commute machine - smoother at low speeds, more efficient and better equipped. So, unless you are looking to drive more on highways or faster we would say stick with the iVT.
If you are willing to look past the features of the SX O seriously - and say I want to enjoy my drives more - you have your answer. Will you? We’d love to know.
Kartikeya totally would.
If you have any more questions - fire away.
@@motorinc thank you. I am a fan of comfort loving drive humming few gazals on the way, than extracting excitement and adrenaline. So your answer helps me. I will stick with iVT AT NA petrol. However, if you talk about un involving steering, what does it actually mean as I have to maintain a speed of 90-100 on highway stretch of 50 kms out of total 100 kms per day. Does it mean that I need to be cautious while driving!!!. I have driven a Honda City petrol V for the last 8 years and am now driving Celerio AT till the time I get Creta. Any thoughts.
@@motorinc Thank you Motor INC, I'd prefer comfort over outright performance and I would go with an IVT.
As a brand, I've really grown fond of Hyundai in the recent years. They've grown into a very reliable, customer friendly manufacturer.
Their designs are fresh and experimental and their cars are just a superior experience all-in-all.
Awesome! As long as you have found something you enjoy!
Brilliant guys these two.

How about a first ride on a Honda sp 160 or unicorn or some commuter vehicle just for kicks😅😅😅

Just wanted to share.. thank you for making my sunday all the more enjoyable #vernaNkaVernan
Glad to be a part of that vibe! Have a good one!
The amount of discrimination koreans have for Indians we should not even buy a single korean car..
I know this is not related to the video but could you please make a VIEW episode on the Honda NX500 because I really love the bike and I am considering to buy it but I don’t want to make a bad choice between the NX500 and Himalayan 450 as there is a major difference in price( which is not a huge problem but it is a major deciding factor in terms for value for money) and in specifications.
Overall please help me decide to choose between the two🙏🏻
[Note]: I do want to keep it for a long time.

Oh yeah!
Karthik, off topic, what is the brand of your t shirt please ?😊
Asking!
N8 is an (I)nnate (ly) batter car. What a word play @shumar. 👏
People who don't watch full motorinc video:- Kon hai ye log, kaha se aate hai ye....
If Creta N is sporty car then Kartikye is Tanmay Bhaat
I guess I cracked it:
N8 - 8" Infotainment screen
N10 - 10" Infotainment screen
What an anti-climax to the whole build-up 😔
Well, there are other differences @rishi2504 but yes, you're also right!😅
There are three points where I don't like Creta. I was planning to buy it (Creta N-line top model), I was about to book it the next day, then I discovered the following:
1. why is Creta not having 5 star safety rating. There is no use of 6 airbags and ADAS level - 2, if you are going to die after crash.
2. This is most expensive car in the segment. But top model does not give wireless apple car play and wireless android auto. Why both of them are wired. How do I take office Zoom/Teams/Webex/Google-Meet calls while I am in traffic, why do I have to connect wire with it. Experience should be smooth, the moment I enter the car, Android auto or apple car play should get auto connected (wireless).
3. You cannot connect Bluetooth while car is in motion. You will have to stop the car and then connect the Bluetooth
.
Above three are the biggest flip points for my decision. I have booked Mahindra XUV 3XO
Thanks for sharing @jd_jagmohandhiman. We're glad you found a car that works for you.
Hi @motorinc, big fan here! Curious why at 13:35 Kartik and Shumi mention N8 is to go for because it does not have ADAS.
We don't think ADAS is ready for Indian traffic @shashankinamdar8814 so we do not see the point of paying extra for it. Hence N8.
Hi Kartikeya and Shumi, I love watching your videos to the extent that in all the years of watching RUclips videos, I think this is my first comment on a video ever. Great job, please keep it up. Please read on…
One Hyundai/Kia feature that Kartikeya had pointed out in his Seltos review was the tilting seat feature. This was never spoken of after that in any of your videos (Or any other video covering the Korean cars). I am a tall (191 cm) man, and under-thigh support is a big part of seat comfort for me. I recently test drove most sedans and csuvs in the 15-20L price bracket - even went a segment up to Harrier/Octavia/Compass. I am not an enthusiastic driver and 90% of my driving is in the city. I was amazed at how much of the difference this tilty seat feature makes to the seat comfort and the fact that NO car maker has this feature other than the Koreans. Honestly, this feature made such a big difference for me that I am not sure I can even consider any car other than creta/seltos anymore. This brings me to my big grouse with the Koreans:
1. Why couldn’t they get the manual seats to also tilt? I don’t care about automatic seat adjustment, but I am having to pay for it just for this feature.
2. Because this feature is only compatible with auto seats, I am having to pay extra towards ADAS also. In context of this video, I’ll have to choose the N10 just because of the tilty seat. There is no version of seltos/creta which gets auto seats but no ADAS. It’s worse with Seltos. I can’t get tilty seat with an IVT gearbox at all!
3. Why can’t this be brought in the Verna? It’s just a perfect car I thought. Not even the top version of Verna gets this!
When you’re driving at 20 kph 90% of the times (true for most of the people), ergonomics and driver / passenger comfort become way more important than the extent to which these things are being covered by the media presently. I hope you spend a little (just a little more) time in discussing comfort and ergonomics.
Hullo! Just skipping to the 8 way adjustable electric seat - it is available with the SX O with the IVT. We checked the brochure too. Please let us know if there’s anything we could help with.
Hey guys! Love shumi's jokes and kartikeya's efforts to contain laughter 👍
Is there any chance you guys will cover Xuv300 in one of your videos?
Also, there's rumours about a facelift of Xuv300, please do a MotorInc First episode on that🙏🙏 Pleaseee! 😇
We want to! Haven’t got our hands on it yet!
What a session 😂... Just beautiful... I have graduated to watch most RUclips videos on 2X speed, but this channel i watch to relax. My 2 cents, in today's session the occasional written descriptions that came were a little bit long and fast moving to read.
Thanks and for the feedback! Appreciate it!
Yeah, but did you mention did Kartik enjoyed driving the car?!
Wow, seems like Shumi has been taking tuitions from Kartik about cars. Great job Shumi👍
Shumi lets on only half as much as he actually knows about cars. 😆
so whatg would be a sporty suv if i wish to buy one
Sir, I have a concern regarding the new design language of Hyundai cars. Design language of Hyundai changed a lot. Whatever they are trying to be, but as per looks it's polarizing. The new Creta N looks like a big brother of exter. Exter was itself looking an unfinished product in terms of front and rear bumper, side beading unDer the fender with abruptly stops and does not continue in the door and so on... The 1st gen Aura was decent... But now the aura looks a tone deaf version of Verna.... The recent upgrade of i20 (2024) looks not so good from rear. Venue also looks not so good in the facelift. Looks like the foglight housing (just above the skid plate, without the foglight) is just added... Not at all integrated with skid plate or with the front grill and thus looks odd. Same from the rear.
Creta had a fair share of demand from beginning after the new gen launched, and it continued but demand other cars of Hyundai has decreased in recent times. I have seen the last month sales report of Hyundai from your video only... They have been demoted from their 2nd position to 3rd after decades.
What's your view on that?
Yep! They have failed to create more superstars like the Creta. The Santro failed. The Nios and Xcent are so so. The Alcazar is not as strong as the Carens. They need to be bolder with their products.
No sir absolutely not
I would love to listen(not watch)to the entire conversation, in washroom, during cooking, in public transport, while having a meal. Skipping has always been been easy but.......
Glad to hear that Saurabh! Thank you!
I have already booked dct creta normal and now n line will cost more 70k ( Haryana no 30k plus 40k rto extra)… is it worth to switch to n line by paying 70k extra… 90% drive in city and need comfort ride with bit fun too… plz suggest… does dark interior looking good compared to light colour interior
Of normal creta turbo variant??
For just a bit more fun - every day - for the next however many years - 70k isn’t much! 😁
TBH I was watching the entire video for VERNA N line and not much for Creta. But news is just got out that there are no plans in near future for Verna N line (at least in India).
May be you cab do 1 better, get a pole (via youtube/google doc or by some means) and present it to Hundayi. May be they will reconsider their Decesion. After all you are respected auto generalist

😆
Having driven the Venue N line and the new Nexon i can safely say Venue N Line is way more sportier when it comes to performance. The Venue DCA is better tuned than the Nexon DCA. However, i think Nexon suspension are better tuned because the Venue suspension are way too stiff. They feel stiffer than the VW Polo.
About Creta N Line, from an aesthetic point of view i think a performance version should have flat bottom steering.
Thanks for sharing your take Rohan!
I would take the N line with the regular CRETA face with all the red highlights , now this one looks like a character from “CARS” (animated movie).
Haha alrighty!
Would love to know what vehicles you guys bring home for yourselfs and what was the thought process behind it. Considering you get to drive almost all of them and are aware of more factors than the average customer. How are those to live with and all those stuff.
Awesome idea!
In 2015, we were driving the Hyundai Sonata in Panvel and there was a new big speed breaker which we thought will clear by driving in zig zag way but the Sonata got stuck on that breaker. We literally had to get down n push the car to get it unstuck
Ouch! Thankfully sedans these days have better ground clearance @soukupthesun.
Talking about "additional spend" I think that's exactly why India did NOT get the actual facelift of the creta globally. It seems quite apparent that they went in for a cheaper facelift and gave the bullsh*t that for India they wanted something unique.
Or because they were moving away from that design altogether? #brightside
Just loved the reviews, and yes, I'm one of those fans who save your long videos for the weekend and watch them fully, so please keep the long videos coming, it's nice to know and understand about automobiles and also know which one to go for based on your discussions.
Will do Binoy!👍🏾😊
Skip to the quick summary. Blasphemy.
Miss all the analysis and the banter. NEVER
P.s this is the creta that should have been sold in the first place
We still get it - one is the softer, blameless family machine. This is for the night outs on your own!
I thought the whole point of matte finish was less maintenance cos the scratches wont show.
Yikes! Nope. It’s just cool looking!
