Actually my Blaupunkt unit is history now, traded it in for a new Hypersonic 4gb/64gb Entertainment unit with licensed Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a host of other features. Works well and is a pleasure to use. Some pics are attached.

The odometer on my First Gen First lot Creta 1.6 SXO CRDi shows 108,450 kms and the old lady is as sprightly as ever. The beauty of a refined Diesel mill (the old one) cannot be matched by contemporary engines on the Creta, all lower in capacity. has run through pretty much all that roads in the Bharat can throw at her, she's survived all of them and come out remarkably strong. 2 sets of tyre changes, clutch system replaced, structs/shocks replaced, always maintained at Srinath Hyundai, Oshiwara, Bombay, and she's been great value (at the price I paid back then).

My usage pattern has changed over the years, and over the last seven years its been mostly cross country drives, even through COVID years (for emergencies), city driving is limited to errands to malls/stores.

Been hearing/reading frustrating experiences of current diesel car owners with DPF issues across car mfrs, and am happy my old lady (9 years plus) Creta has not given me the need to upgrade/change, and with no resolution of DFP issues in sight, I don't feel like upgrading from my faithful and trouble free diesel mill.

Happy to hear/read ownership stories from 1st/2nd gens Creta users, especially Dieselheads.

Correct. The new diesel engine cant match the 1.6. It's peppy and at the same time provides decent mileage.
