Watch the hindi review of the Hyundai Creta N Line here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZLNqX-Qp52aatk

[@amodpadave]

First Gen OG Creta is the best looking Creta of all time.

[@idrisahmed2659]

This n line is the 2nd best looking

[@rajahariharan]

It will also crumple like tin foil on impact.

[@rajTrondhjem10]

Yeah, because we all know that when you paint the brake calipers red, the car goes fast! 😂

[@balachanderganesan]

Yes, and replacing the chrome accent with black trim propels the car to go 20% more faster :D

[@aimanfitri0iv]

wow love the look it looks kind of sporty 👏😄

[@fpaThEoNe]

Hyundai --->>> comfortable, refined, featured packed..Quality control. Hyundai knows to play the game of chess in modern cars world now.

[@prakaaash]

8:10 the cars going reverse or what 😂

[@lenins2956]

For this Turbo engine should I use Normal petrol or Xp95 recommended ?

[@Abinash91]

The cost is way too high. In my city it's going to cost upwards of 25L and even after that, it doesn't feel special or big.

[@Oto_Tepe]

I like the colour... Smooth but also strong

[@jumpstartzindagi6282]

Who here agrees with me on the fact that the first creta facelift launched back in 2016 was the best looking one till date hands down!!

[@AdvManikSharma]

Yes. But i feel seltos’s design language is on those lines only.

[@avinashrajbonshi]

Nah that’s your opinion, this is perhaps the most stunning creta up until now.

[@shubhammann]

2018*

[@pranaavsarda]

Even the 1.6 CRDi was the best

[@siddarthbanik]

That model looks good even today

[@Nothing-sn7rn]

N line especially the black and grey colour looks good

[@lenins2956]

Which petrol to fill Xp95 or Normal ?

[@muhammedahnasap]

What's the difference between N8 and N10?

[@mridularya7862]

So it's setup like a seltos now!?

[@thewarlord502]

Amazing car❤❤

[@roystonnotsyor]

Kia Seltos X-Line Sales 📈 after N-Line Launch. LOL. X-Line looks much better than N-Line. Has more features too. I expected N-Line to have more features than X-Line coz Hyundai being the parent company. Also, expected the N-Line Mode in instrument cluster which is sold in Global Market. This is just cosmetic updates with an addition of MT.

[@SumanthMRao]

Dude, are you living under the rock?.. even 2023 made Seltos x-line are still lying unsold in their stockyard. Seltos is selling less than half of Creta. From what I heard from dealership, bookings for N-line is healthy

[@LongHornTexas]

@@SumanthMRao ​​⁠ Even pre facelift 2023 Creta are available with high discounts from the dealers in my city. But very less takers for that model. And you are right, Creta is double the sale figures of Seltos. Also true.. Seltos is the best looking cross over in this segment, miles ahead of Creta’s look.

[@jadhavrasik]

Why no HUD provided #hyundai? For this price it definitely needs HUD & Wireless Android Auto/ Apple Carplay

[@7oa178]

the logo position at the front is a little on the face

[@RoGamg]

Black creta mujhe bahut faadu lagti hai ❤❤❤❤❤

[@RoshR]

The Venue a segment below and from the same family gets wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Why doesn't the creta get the same?

[@SagarRT]

Higher end variants get wired and lower trims get wireless. Some 24x7 drunk people at Hyundai and Kia Motors.

[@aashishdevgun]

Lower variant has the smaller screen but wireless

[@ashutoshvaidya4000]

Venue gets wireless cause it has an 8 inch screen even in the top model...

[@SuyashKaul]

@@SagarRT most people dont know cretas 10.25inch software co. has a lawsuit going on thats why wireless functionality is locked

[@pritambasu3415]

Not having wireless Carplay is seriously a dealbreaker. This is very much important when I am on a long road trip. I don't wann ruin my phone's battery by charging it for 10-12 hours. Also at this price range XUV 700 AX5 or Scorpio N will be a better option if long road trips are priority over city rides. I feel a bit overpriced.

[@SuyashKaul]

a wireless charger depletes battery health much faster than cable charging. At tbhp, an Elevate owner wrote his battery health has gone down 10-12% by using wireless charger

[@RohanKumar-th5dl]

A sportier version of Creta doesn’t have flat bottom steering. Just doesn’t feel right.

[@modrockerr5152]

Can't get over that front hyundai logo placement, looks so off, rest of the car looks cool though !

[@bhattacharyasandeep]

Well, there was no other place to "place" the logo !!

[@jd_jagmohandhiman]

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

[@nachikethgowda5969]

Which model you booked in 3xo bro?

[@jd_jagmohandhiman]

@@nachikethgowda5969 AX7L

[@SiddharthaKS1983]

I dont think hardcore petroheads will go for this, But maybe the Manual Transmission is the USP of this version. But still not as indulging or as solid feeling as the VWs on the market.

[@nvf007]

Adding more masala feels like chapri product 😅

[@vamseekrishna2579]

Nice car

[@Sumit.Soni9]

No efforts by Hyundai its just like any other Venu Exter etc etc. This facelift put this car in a lower end of the segment. Earlier version 1 & 2 were the best and unique.

[@ShravanChavan-sc8fb]

Back design is good but front really not so good should have put the logo up 😢

[@RiyajJayaprakash]

If the phone charges every time u plug ur phone for Apple CarPlay then y do u need a wireless charger????

[@manishraj2560]

Good package...

[@nandakishorekutti]

If creta n line rate = vw or slavia 1.5 manual. Then go for vw or slavia.

[@SuyashKaul]

Slavia/kushaq has clutch plate issues in manual. check owner groups

[@rakmanbaba]

When will manufacturers stop offering wired android auto and apple carplay with wireless charging pads? U can only use one or the other at a time and not both together 😢!

[@pradeepkumar-hu2md]

They ended up making Creta look like Exter!

[@shariarxafar1380]

WHAT ABOUT MILAGE?

[@sandeepshah7683]

Still age old polo GT tsi n Abarth Punto will eat it in breakfast

[@dineshy7532]

Abe chomu hyundai has answer for polo gt n abarth in d form of I20 N (not n line) wh is available in other countries..

[@wandamehipassah9018]

I dont think so considering it has the same power as the verna turbo which dominated even the virtus gt and salvia.. in addition this creta n line has stiffer suspension.. making it drives better

[@arungorilla]

Noway. New turbo gdi engine eat 10 polo gt for breakfast. Biased VW fanboys 😂. Don't cry the truth is creta n line is faster than Kushaq or Taigun

[@rajeevbatra999]

What About Safety Ratings & Crash Test ….??

[@prathameshrivonkar7215]

Ruko zara, sabar karo

[@shubhruparelia5020]

What happened to ur mike ?😂

[@ShravanChavan-sc8fb]

And the car give mileage of 8 or 9 on highway unlike 2016,2018 creta

[@saratchandradeevi]

Not having wireless CarPlay is a deal breaker

[@PyroBlank]

You can still use it wired

[@saratchandradeevi]

@@PyroBlank yeah when every other car in this segment and below segments is able to provide the convenience feature, creta needs to be able to do that. When you travel a lot it makes a lot of difference, every time plugging in and plugging out is a hassle

[@PyroBlank]

@@saratchandradeevi Fair enough, but dealbreaker level? Isn't that a little too aggressive? I mean, mainly the driver uses carplay, and the cable doesn't need to reach THAT far.

[@saratchandradeevi]

@@PyroBlankyeah well, for me it is. Hyundai does weird stuff sometimes, like it offers features like puddle lamps etc over useful features like wireless CarPlay or rain sensing wipers.

[@PyroBlank]

@@saratchandradeevi I guess our tastes are different. I'm a sedan gut anyway

[@bakuljavadekar6767]

Front grill doesn’t look good. Standard Creta looks much better.

[@gp_here]

Looks like a creta that will further eat into the Vag twin sales 😂. And the. We get a Verna n line

[@mehulmane9884]

What about safety standards, I guess Hyundai add n-line to kill driver pace ger fully. Before it was mission accomplished.

[@arpit20one]

Still happy with my XUV 700 Diesel MT❤

[@bhawiksharma8108]

More expensive than Kia seltos with less feature, then it and both have the same engines and also the same crash test ratings. Still, it is set at high price for just new alloys and bumpers 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@sreejeshpattu2988]

Disc brake not disk

[@ashworld1016]

First Creta was the best, getting worse with new upgrades.

[@taq2umar]

Old Seltos GT Line still looks much better than this NLine Creta

[@premraj2817]

If u want a third headrest nad a third person seated between u shud look for a tempo traveller!😅

[@ashokshaji2540]

"DUSTER". Waiting for the boss to back for a challenge.

[@pawrimal]

Logo placement is poor

[@siddhantdas33]

Looks like Exter, right?? I thought so too.

[@ss.brothers4385]

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@prasadsawant3396]

I stop watching reviews when there is wireless charger but no wireless carplay .. absolutely foolish to design something like that

[@prajitsengupta9851]

Whatever Hyundai may try, they can never match Volkswagen’s TSI engine and handling combination

[@jushyasiddhartha5705]

Exter on steroids😂

[@Wallflowe]

They smartly imitated the brezza design. Copy cat creta 😅

[@sarathtpm]

So it’s just a paint job ,bigger wheels & n line badge😂

[@hansugaming1471]

MG add😂

[@JustinMathew-bs8pn]

It looks like Exter went to gym

[@BikramSarma-ur4nx]

Not attractive. They are making fool Indian customer by giving features and incremental price.

[@Sudarshansridhar]

This remainded my friends 10 years old swift car all black and red inside. Except that 10 inch touch screen , his car was looking same as this n line buy 10 years back. 😂😂😂

[@26diaspaulson-ns92]

🔥🔥🔥Third comment

[@swarnavadutta75]

1st view !!

[@chevvakulasrikanth9260]

Petition to change those cringey MG advertisements.. 😬

[@gk3995]

CRETA one of the worst in look wise….keeping the silver patch on right and left of the body above the doors looks very worst..and the back shape is very worst…Seltos looks simple and stylish..I am going with Seltos next month because of those silver patches on the body of CRETA on left and right which is odd… CRETA design is worst

[@prajitsengupta9851]

Still Taigun GT is better

[@m.kumarpillai2285]

High price

[@apexpredator2277]

this looks like a venue on steroids... and at that an ugly one.

[@adityaazad2996]

If it's not safe, it's a crap

[@KiranKumar-uv6kd]

It’s one of the safest cars around. It got 5 stars in the safety.

[@bruceparker3139]

totoal waste of N brand

[@vineeygamer]

Car for new age chapris 😂😂😂

[@deathmaxyt6666]

Chapris can't afford this bro 😅

[@vineeygamer]

@@deathmaxyt6666 dont underestimate the power of chapris 😂 baapu ki jameen bech ke le lenge

[@roredd7493]

junk

[@user-xg5lg7sk4z]

No more Hyundai creta vehicle. It’s over priced and secondly, not have good safety ratings. I bought before and never buy it.

[@user-de2zo1bw4d]

I’m in the minority of people who feels the new Creta looks like a dabba!

[@niksal1]

Dabba hi hai bhai...and mujhe lgta hai this is majority opinion, not minority. No character in the looks department sadly

[@asap8368]

Hyundai designers trying to make their cars uglier with every generation 🫠

[@shashanksaikumar]

Buying a Creta should be a crime against humanity. They’re terrible cars really. A stop gap between Japanese and European.
