What Could Have Been Better About The Creta N Line N10?

Creta N Line N10

The N10 is a rather well-packaged model, but given that its costs are well above Rs 20 lakh, it should have benefitted from a few extra high-end features like a motorized co-driver seat and a heads-up display. That said, the N10 promises to deliver a sporty N Line feel on the well-liked Hyundai SUV, combined with the best comforts and safety technology.

                Variant                                                       Verdict

N8

Despite having a lot of technology, it lacks several unique characteristics. Select only if you can forgo the flagship experience in favor of the more affordable, sportier Creta with the MT.

N10

If you want the full N Line-specific experience from the SUV and would rather have extra safety features, go for it.

Hyundai Kona Electric REVIEWS & VIDEOS

Hyundai Kona Electric

Hyundai Kona Electric is an electric vehicle with five seats. The base price of the Hyundai Kona Electric is ₹ 23.84 Lakh, while the top variant is ₹ 24.03 Lakh. It comes in two versions, each with a 452 km battery life. It features quick charging capabilities and can be charged in 19 hours using AC power (2.8 kW, 0%–100%). This model includes six airbags for protection. There are 5 colors available for this model. Hyundai Kona Electric EV has received an overall user rating of 4.4 out of 5 based on reviews from other users.

ProsCons
  • ARAI claims a 452 km claimed range. This is plenty for a week’s worth of commutes, even if the actual world range contracts significantly.
  • Average cabin space. Not comparable to a diesel/petrol SUV like the Hyundai Tucson or Jeep Compass at the same price.
  • Three years/unlimited kilometers for the vehicle and eight years/1,60,000 kilometers for the battery pack
  • Comparable to hatchbacks priced under ten lakh rupees, the average boot space
  • A fully equipped electric vehicle. Enjoy features like heated and cooled front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, a sunroof, six airbags, traction control, LED projector headlights, and much more.
  • restricted alternatives for travel fees. The availability of quick charge stations will determine whether you can utilize a portable charger, which requires several hours to fully charge.
  • extremely smooth driving experience. For those purchasing an electric car for the first time, its immediate acceleration, almost noiseless operation, and simple driving characteristics make it a wise investment.
  • lacks the size and road presence of a competitor in pricing, such as the Compass or Tucson
  • There are three different charging options: level 1 portable charger, level 2 AC wall box charger, and DC fast charge.
  • minimal operating costs. Hyundai asserts that the total cost of ownership, including servicing, is one-fifth that of a comparable gasoline-powered vehicle.

Tata Motors News & Top Stories

Tata Motors is planning to invest Rs. 9,000 crore for a new plant in Tamil Nadu

When it comes to the sales of passenger vehicles, Tata Motors is among the biggest automakers in India. Three of the company’s seven manufacturing facilities in India are now in operation for the manufacture of passenger cars. To establish a new factory in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the automaker has now inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government.

Regarding The New Plant

Although there are few details about the new facility’s location and scale, Tata has committed to investing Rs 9,000 crore over the next five years to build a new manufacturing facility. According to Tata, the state would gain up to 5,000 additional jobs as a result of this new plant, either directly or indirectly.

Tata Curvv

This Memorandum of Understanding was signed by V Vishnu, IAS, MD (managing director) & CEO, Guidance, and PB Balaji, Group CFO, Tata Motors, in the presence of MK Stalin, CM (chief minister), Tamil Nadu. Additionally, Tata has not stated if the production of commercial or passenger vehicles will take place at this new plant. We anticipate that these specifics will become public eventually.

Advantages For Tata

 Hyundai

Tata is always competing with Hyundai for second place and is currently ranked among the top three automakers in India. The Sanand factory is currently on track to achieve an annual manufacturing capacity of over 10 lakh units with its expansion. Tata can achieve even greater success if the new plant is used to produce passenger cars. Apart from helping the Indian carmaker sustain reduced wait times, the higher production could potentially position Tata for market share gains and a comfortable lead over Hyundai.

Hyundai Creta N Line vs. Turbo-petrol Competitors: Purported Fuel Economy Comparison

The Hyundai Creta N Line was just introduced in India, and the carmaker has made all of the information on the features, technical specs, and fuel economy of the SUV public. Exclusively offered with a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine, the Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq’s comparably potent versions face off against the Creta N Line. Let’s examine the Creta N Line’s cost effectiveness compared to its competitors.

Principal Learnings

Hyundai Creta N Line

  • The 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine that powers the Hyundai Creta N Line is mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (automated DCT). Although it is less economical than the Skoda-VW SUVs, it claims to give marginally higher fuel efficiency than the Kia Seltos.
  • Although the Seltos and the Creta N Line share the same 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine, the Seltos has the lowest fuel efficiency of all the SUVs listed here. But the only small SUV with an option for a 6-speed iMT (manual transmission without clutch pedal) is the Seltos.

Volkswagen's

  • The 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine in the Taigun and Kushaq has 10 PS less power than the one in the Creta N Line and Seltos. Out of all the SUVs listed here, Volkswagen’s compact SUV with DCT automatic gives the best fuel economy.
  • With a 6-speed manual gearbox, the Skoda Kushaq nearly matches the fuel efficiency of the Volkswagen SUV, but with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, it is marginally less fuel-efficient than the Taigun.
  • Not to mention, for enhanced economy, the Skoda-VW engine unit has active cylinder technology. When the engine is not under stress, such as when driving at high speeds on the highway in the highest gear, this mechanism permits two of the four-engine cylinders to become idle.

Disclaimer: Please be aware that the producers of the different products have made these fuel economy claims. The real fuel economy may differ depending on variables like weather, driving style, and state of the car.

In this case, the Volkswagen Taigun stands out as the most performance-focused small SUV. However, despite having a 6-speed iMT option, the Kia Seltos has the lowest fuel efficiency. Considered in isolation from its competitors, the Hyundai Creta N Line’s stated fuel efficiency is neither noteworthy nor concerning.
