We didn’t have any major issues with the Creta in all these months
The Creta has taken the market by storm and inspite of being the most expensive SUV in its segment, it is outselling the competition by a significant margin. Goes in to show that in today’s age, people are willing to spend a premium to get a better and more rounded product. The Korean compact SUV is spacious, has better interiors and comes with a long list of goodies. Moreover, Hyundai has offered it with capable petrol and diesel engines with automatic options available in both. The Creta, by far, is a complete package which offers oodles of practicality and reliability with a premium touch.

The driving mannerisms of the Creta are much improved over older Hyundai cars
Testers’ Note:
“The Hyundai Creta is for those who want an easy to drive, comfortable and feature loaded SUV but it is in no way an SUV because anything with a monocoque chassis and front-wheel drive isn’t an SUV in my books, crossover would surely be a better term for it. I drove the car in the first month it was here and liked it for its ease of use and quality. I still feel Hyundai needs to vastly improve the dynamics because it simply isn’t exciting enough to drive around the valleys.” – Faisal Khan, Editor, MotorBeam.
“I have a huge attachment to Hyundai cars, I personally owned an i10 of which I have found memories during my college days. My family went ahead and bought the Verna which was based on my recommendation obviously. While both of those cars were priced reasonably, the Creta is simply overpriced for what it offers. However, in spite of that, what it offers is something no other rival does at this price point and that’s why those who just want a comfortable car opt for it and I would too.” – Aariz Rizvi, Assistant Editor, MotorBeam.
“I drove our Creta long termer hardly a couple of times and I have a few observations to make. First up, it feels super refined and the engine feels punchy to drive in the city. The gearbox is matched well and the ride quality is very good too. The handling of the Creta isn’t the best out there but the car feels easy to drive around. The interiors have good finish and the equipment list is impressive. All in all, Hyundai has got themselves quite a winner with this well-packaged car.” – Parth Gohil, Senior Road Tester, MotorBeam.
