New 2020 Hyundai Creta Petrol Review

We not only drove the Creta but brought in its arch rival, the Kia Seltos for an exclusive short comparo also. Off the mark both look different while the Seltos is conventionally handsome the Creta is edgier and more extrovert. The Seltos is slightly longer and wider while the Creta is taller. Inside both offer tons of features and have quality with the Seltos having some features not there in the Creta while the Creta also having some features not there in the Seltos. To drive the Seltos is firmer and edgier while the Creta is more rounded plus has the smoother gearbox. Both are priced nearly in the same range and it depends on which styling you prefer though we will say that the Seltos is more enthusiast centric and sportier while the Creta is the better all-rounder with slightly more of the desirable features.

Up the speed and for that there is the option to put in Sport mode too but I found the Comfort mode to be the best. It's fairly responsive and gives you enough power when you want. The turbo petrol has a thick power band and that means you do not need to rev it. However if you are in the mood, you can put it in Sport, use the paddle-shifters and the engine gets louder plus you can hang onto the gears. The Creta however is not an out and out enthusiasts car but for an SUV, it's damn good plus compared to the last gen Creta, its night and day. The steering feels more direct and body roll is controlled with even the brakes giving you confidence to push. We will add that pushing the car gets you 8-9 kmpl but normal city driving and use of the Eco mode will give 11-12 kmpl. The Creta also gets modes like Mud and Sand but to be honest the Creta is best suited for on the road and not off it.
