Overview

OUT GOES THE TUCSON AND IN COMES THE CRETA AGAIN. IT HAS served a lot for the TG family in the past, and by a lot we mean that almost everyone in the office has had their share of time with it. And for everyone, it still remains the go-to car whenever we’re out for a shoot. It is such a no-brainer hassle free driving experience which makes it all the way more reliable and undoubtedly one of India’s best selling C-SUV.

The one we have is the diesel manual variant which is best known for its fuel economy. And power, well we have enough boost whenever we need it at our disposal. One slightly disappointing or rather irrationally irritating phenomenon is the infamous habit of any manual Hyundai’s gear grinding while slotting through shifts. This with time has surfaced on our Creta as well. Maybe too many hands on the car has resulted into it, but nonetheless, it stays a loyal companion.
