Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

I have a mixed feeling about the looks , the rear looks like Brezza to me and the side stance along with the front resembles more of a hatchback than the butch look of a pseudo SUV. I still feel the first gen creta is the more good looking of them all.

While reversing in case of any mishap, it has more chance of damage and will result in costly repairs instead if the bumpers were protruding more as is the norm.

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

Everyone calm down please!

The current one did take a lot of time to get used to. Many still don't like them. This is much easier on the eyes and will definitely get from hate to tolerate to like in less time.

I feel, at least from the looks perspective, acceptance will eventually be more than the current gen. In all other perspectives, they are already the best seller

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

After seeing this facelift pictures, current model in stock will fly off immediately. May be Hyundai can think ramping up current model production .

No offence to Creta owners.

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

Rear design looks quite close to Elevate. I find it more mature than out going Creta rear.

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

I still dont understand the Indian buyers mind when they buy these kind of ugly designed vehicles. For a long time I was looking closely at these models (i20, verna now this ugly creta) and trying to understand how people can spend 10L+ for these worst designed models. I thought my view was the issue, all the people posted here before me has been hating their designs as well.

Even with this Hyundai sells Creta and retains the top spot. If someone can clear my long doubt, then please.

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

Dayummm! That Rear!

What a polarising rear end of a car! Current model started looking far better right off after seeing this.
I don't know if i should stick to Alcazar or get this Creta!! or should wait for Alcazar facelift?

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

One of the less quirky designs from Hyundai. People should be patient enough till we see pro grade pictures or see the car in person before passing judgments. The car will look better in dark colors. Similarity with Venue is ok. Some manufacturers like VW carry same fascia or design language for their entire line up. So this is more acceptable

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

We just need to wait to see the car in person and in darker shades. It might just look much better than the one in pictures (and that too in white).

If Hyundai is able to manage 5* in NCAP, Seltos will take a big hit. The suspension of Creta is better tuned for Indian roads (full of potholes) and has always felt more spacious from inside. The interior colour combination will also be more welcome change over all black Seltos interiors (for top end).

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

The posts on this thread clearly reflect - 'looks are subjective'.

For me, this facelift looks much better and bearable than the current version. Of-course 1st gen was the best looking Creta for me.

I guess there are still many prefer the Seltos's suspension than a Creta, considering the sales of prefacelift Creta and Seltos. That could be the crowd which drives more on highways.

Seltos has now taken the game forward by softening the suspension, but still being a great handler and also offering many more goodies for this segment. The styling too looks sharper and is universally appealing. It would be interesting to see what Creta offers more over the Seltos and the vice a versa.

For now- Seltos does seem to offer LED foglamps and twin rear reversing lamps, whereas the Creta doesn't seem to get fog lamps, and a single reversing lamp.

I am not saying Seltos will continue to outsell the Creta. That would never happen as long as Kia increases the dealership count to as much Hyundai in all the nooks and corners of the country! I feel in terms of sales it will be 1) Creta 2) Seltos/GV , the next positions will keep changing.

OT- Just noticed this, in most cars the rear wiper rests on the left side. However, with Creta and Seltos have seen the wiper to rest on the right side. Is it a Hyundai-Kia thing, have no observations on Sonet/Venue wipers.

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

It looks like much like the new Verna this looks the worst in White, will wait until pics are available of the darker colors especially the black one being shown in the teasers. Although I agree on the front treatment and overuse of chrome in the grill which looks pretty poor on the new Venue too.

Re: Hyundai Creta Facelift | Bookings now open in India

The present iteration, despite some oddball elements, ad some interesting design around the lights, both front and rear.

This design is more simplistic in comparison.

This is clearly the elder brother of the venue. As a product placement that may not neccessarily be a bad thing.

Having said that, personally not a big fan of this new huge grill design philosopy. i find the venue to have disproportionaely large grills and this takes things up few notches.
