Great car with city mileage. I bought the Hyundai Creta around 6 months ago, and my experience so far has been excellent. It has been a great car to own in terms of comfort, performance, and reliability. The driving experience is smooth, whether you are driving in the city or on highways. One of the biggest positives is the mileage. I am consistently getting 20+ km/l, which is impressive for an SUV in this segment. It makes the car very economical for daily use as well as long drives. The car is spacious, the seats are comfortable, and the overall build quality feels solid. The features and technology offered in the Hyundai Creta make it a very practical and enjoyable vehicle for both short trips and long journeys. Overall, it has been a great value-for-money car, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable SUV.

It Was Good Car. It was good car and mileage is around 19 to 20 in highways and rear seat was too comfortable than other in competition. Moreover, the service cost is not high and not too low. It lighting is some problem due low led headlights and the handling is good in corners also it was more driver centric.

Creata Sx Tech 1.5 MT. I have this car since sep 2024. Talking about the performance of this car currently in the city, I am getting mileage of 12.5-14 kmpl if driven smoothly at a speed of 40 -60 kmpl. At Highway I have extracted mileage of even 20 kmpl, but keeping in mind if driven at a speed of 80-100kmph at an RPM of max 2000 One thing is clear this car is best if smoothly driven, with worse mileage of harshly driven. Comfort is great , engine is very silent , and the boot space is too big . Overall best car to buy.

Mere khyal se aapko ye creta jab tak problem na de tab tak chalani chahiye because of new car lene ke baad thode se time ke liye happyness aayegi but uske baad happiness kam ho jayega so paisa kahi or pe invest karo or jab tak creta problem na de tabtak yahi use karna chaiye.😊😊😊 Creta aapko abhi dikkat nahi de rahi or aapko abhi bahut jyada need bhi nahi hai. Or aapko agar new car chahiye hi to I say go kia Carens 7 seater with second hand not new you can get around 6 to 10 lakh best condition so paisa bhi bachega or big car bhi aayegi . Kia achi hai or service bhi achi hai. Also kia and hyundai parent company. So at the end paisa bhi bachega and you satisfy with big car also . Car ek depreciate asset hai. Baki to aapki soch. Keep it up ,aap acha vlog banate ho show how happy in daily life with manag all things like. Job,food,travel, relationship, future plans, finance,many etc. Thank you 😅😅😊😊

“Hyundai Creta: Rule Every Road”. I have been using the Hyundai Creta for some time now, and honestly, it has been a really satisfying experience overall. First Impressions: The first thing that caught my attention was the design. The car looks bold and premium on the road. The LED lights and front grille give it a strong presence, and it definitely stands out. Comfort & Interior: Inside, the Creta feels very comfortable and modern. The seats are well-cushioned, and there is enough space for both front and rear passengers. I especially like the touchscreen system and the panoramic sunroof—it adds a premium feel. For long drives, the comfort level is excellent. There is minimal fatigue even after hours of driving. Performance: In terms of driving, the car is smooth and easy to handle. In city traffic, it performs very well, and on highways, it feels stable and confident. The engine is refined, and I didn’t face any major issues. It gives a balanced mix of power and comfort. Mileage: Mileage is decent. It’s not the best in the segment, but it’s acceptable considering the size and performance of the car. Safety & Features: The car is loaded with features like: Touchscreen infotainment,360 camera, and safety airbags. These features make driving easier and safer. What I liked: Premium and stylish design. Very comfortable for daily use and long trips. Smooth driving experience. Loaded with modern features. What Could Be Better: Slightly expensive. Mileage could be better in city driving. Suspension feels a bit stiff on rough roads. Final Thoughts: Overall, I am really happy with my Hyundai Creta. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and feature-rich SUV. I would definitely recommend it for family use and daily driving. My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5)

Excellent Family SUV with Premium Features and Comfort. I have been driving the Hyundai Creta for some time now and my overall experience has been excellent. The car offers a premium feel, stylish design, and a very comfortable cabin. The seats are supportive, and there is ample space for both passengers and luggage, making it a perfect family SUV. The driving experience is smooth, and the engine performance is refined whether in city traffic or on highways. Suspension is well balanced and handles bad roads confidently. I also appreciate the fuel efficiency, which is quite decent for an SUV in this segment. Feature-wise, the Creta comes loaded with modern technology, a user-friendly infotainment system, good sound quality, and useful safety features that increase confidence while driving. The build quality feels solid and the overall fit and finish are impressive. What I like most is the combination of comfort, performance, and practicality.

Nice car for family. Creta E Diesel, one of the most sought after and value for money car in the mid-size SUV segment, will surely make you wait once you book at it, but it's worth the wait (was approximately 5 months in my case) Let's start with the cons(Since they are fewer): 1) Cost cutting measures in the E variant have deprived the car of a few essential features like: A) Boot Light B) Electronically Adjustable Side Mirrors C) Cooled Glove Box D) TPMS(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 2) Steering wheel not adjustable for reach(only height adjustable) 3) Absence of adjustable headrest in the rear row 4) Projector headlamps could have a better and refined focus/throw. 5) Not meant for intense or severe off-roading. Since the vehicle is a front wheel drive, it has a tendency to get stuck easily in terrain not meant for it. On the brighter side, pros: 1) Excellent fuel economy (14-17KMPL City, 18-21KMPL Highways) 2) Awesome high speed performance, 6th gear allows for smooth overtakes (Speed range from 65 and above) 3) Largest boot space in the segment 4) Hidden features like Guide me home headlamps even in E variant, rear ac vents, driver information system with icy road warning, day time running lights etc. 5) 50 L fuel tank allowing approx. range of 900+ km on full tank. 6) ABS, Dual Airbags, D-cut ergonomic design of steering wheel, speed sensing door locks, impact sensing unlock, etc for enhanced safety. 7) Plastics, finishes, and upholstery don't feel cheap if not premium; feels just right at the price point.(A personal opinion though) 8) Low to no vibrations or sounds inside the cabin. A highly refined and insulated engine bay is being offered; you won't even realize that you're actually driving a diesel if you weren't told so. (Obviously, the punch in driving would tell that, but not the vibrations and sound.) The overall driving experience of Creta is full of confidence and fun. With the 1.5L diesel engine, you never feel slow on the highway or lagging in the city for pickup. Service from Hyundai is effortless with the availability of free home pick-up and drop-off.

A really good car. The Hyundai Creta is a really good car to buy to tackle our Indian roads with ease. The suspension is very nice, and the seats are also plush with good bolstering, and the tech, along with the engine, is also nice. But before buying need to check the rear AC. There is no proper air flow at the back, which is a big disappointment for an 18-25 lakh car. You will need to shut the front middle AC vents for the rear vents to throw more air pressure. Hyundai should look into this matter.

About car. The Hyundai Creta is one of those cars that instantly makes you feel comfortable, even if you’re driving it for the first time. What I like the most is its refined engine and smooth gear shifts, which make both city traffic and highway runs surprisingly effortless. The cabin feels premium for its price, especially with the soft-touch dashboard, ventilated seats, and wide touchscreen that actually responds quickly. The rear seats are spacious enough for long drives, and the air conditioning is genuinely powerful. But the Creta isn’t perfect. The suspension can feel slightly soft at high speeds, which causes mild body roll. The base variants also miss out on some useful features, and the mileage drops if you drive aggressively. Still, the car offers a balanced mix of comfort, features, and reliability. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone who wants a practical yet stylish compact SUV with good everyday usability.

\"A Reliable All-Rounder in the Mid-Size SUV Segment\". Hyundai Creta delivers a refined and confident driving experience. The engine options are smooth, responsive and offer good city as well as highway performance. Ride quality is comfortable, suspension absorbs bumps well, and steering feels light for city use. The cabin feels premium with quality materials, a modern dashboard and ample features. Rear-seat space is comfortable, and boot space is practical. Safety, features and overall performance make the Creta a strong all-rounder. Slightly premium pricing and average mileage in city are the only drawbacks, but overall it remains one of the best family SUVs in the segment.

1:21 On any Hyundai/Kia model with the Bose system, if you find the volume to be lower in the back seats, go into the sound settings in the infotainment screen and move the sound centering backwards by a few notches. That should level out the volume between front and back.
