[Music] he the Hyundai crer it is the most popular compact SUV in India but you know why is that well with all the premium appeal topnotch Creature Comforts and spritely performance at back middle it makes a statement that you have arrived in life but then where does the creta endline stand well this is targeted at those youthful people who want their car to look sportier both on the outside and on the inside and want the same to reflect in the way it drives and that's exactly what we are going to test today and bring out all the details to you that how different does this feel from the regular Hyundai creta I'm shashia and I have an exciting news for you again the park plus petrol League or PPL is coming very soon and here is your chance to win big last year 20 lakh people won petrol worth over 50 crores and this time there are even bigger prices including a mega bumper price so what are you waiting for if you haven't downloaded the park Plus app yet go ahead and do that right away because this time you are the one who can win piig and looks in terms of design and dimensions it's exactly similar to the regular Hundai CR but with a healthy dose of sportiness added to the overall design curtsy all the elements you see here so piano black finish treat there on the face and a beefier bumper right here with gray finish all around that looks really sporty but further adding to that appeal is all the red accents and highlights you see around the car on the clading but what I personally like even more is all the new color options you get here that really look sporty and they are Titan gray in matte finish that we are driving today Altus white and Abus black that we have seen in the regular crer as well then Thunder blue with black roof alus white with black roof and Shadow gray with black roof which are dual to color options now in profile all the sporty highlight become even more prominent the red accents you can see that these are running the length of the carb and you have these new 18in alloy wheels these are a size biger and these are dual tone alloy wheels new design in the regular Critter you get 17in units then you have the endline Bing here on the fender and blacked out orvm and roof raill so you have piano black finish on them that further adds to that sense of sportiness and if you will look closely you'll also see that the brake calipers here are finished in red and you get disc brakes on all the four wheels and the rear perhaps is the sportiest looking section in the Hyundai crer endline or my regular CR design upgrade it would have looked somewhat to what we see here now up top you see a nice spoiler treatment it increases the downforce and looks very sporty and here below a nice chunky diffuser with red accents of course but tucked in are these new dual exhaust tips now these sound very nice we'll come to that in a bit and of course you get the inline badging on the boot and the Sleek connected day light setup and with that done let's go and check out the [Music] cabin on the inside in terms of design and layout the hyai crer inline is ditto to the regular criter but has been comprehensively upgraded to add that sporty appeal inside the cabin thanks to the allra treatment and red highlights you see here so around the curved display section here you have red highlights again red highlights on the core driver side that extends to the airon vents similar up highlight it's the same line and you have red stitching and piping on the front seats rear seats as well with a nice decal and end batching steering wheel red stitching here it's not a flat bottom steering wheel but feels very premium to hold you also have nice paddle shifters here then in terms of features it is again identical to the hyai CR you have a 10.25 in touchcreen infotainment system again it has Apple Caray Android auto don't reason which hopefully we'll find out soon in terms of interface layout it's very crisp very sharp and again very easy to read so premium screen similarly 10.25 in digital instrument cluster just in front of me in terms of layout design what I personally like that rather than like you know that other than being informative traditional analog dial Graphics I personally love that treatment then you have more features like Kel Zone climate control with proper physical buttons so you don't have to take your eyes off the road Auto dimming inner rear view mirror wireless charging type-c USB and 12vt charging points you have electric parking brake ventilated seats seats V Rel ated seats set the driver seat is 8way power adjustable and you have a 360° view as well uh with blind spot monitor then you have for premium surround sound system a proper ambient lighting system a nice big panoramic sunroof that makes the all black cabin feel spacious again and then you have good safety features as well like you have 6 airbags electronic stability control vssm as standard and you also get level two a dash features of forward Collision warning and assist rear cross traffic alert Lane keep assist adaptive cruise control [Music] features at the rear you have rear sun shade then rear AC when charging points to make it feel even sportier you have you know a metal finish on the pedals here the brake pedal acceler and in terms of features honestly you just can't un complain in this cabin you also have Drive modes and traction modes that you get in the regular Critter and believe me in sport the exhaust note sounds veryy good and now we'll come to that so under the hood you get the same 1.5 L turbo petrol engine that builts out 158 brake horsepower at 5500 RPM and 253 new M of peak torque from, 1500 to 3500 RPM or gearbox up pass options first up is the SSP speed dual clutch automatic transmission fuel e 18.2 km that's claimed fuel economy and then you have a six-speed manual transmission claimed fuel economy is 18 km per lit so fuel economy and this car can do 0 to 100 km per hour run in 8.9 seconds and now it's time for us to test how all that feels behind the wheel and finally behind the wheel of the hyai creta in line and let's straight away get on with the performance now performance differ that's primarily because it's the same 1.5 L turbo petrol engine that we have seen in the new Hyundai creta and it's in the same tune as well so yes in terms of power delivery acceleration progression towards the r power build that said what is different and quite perceptibly so and you like it is you hear that that's the exhaust note yes it sounds really lovely now don't expect it to sound like a proper performance car because this is NL not a full-blown end car but yes there is a difference it sounds a bit sporty than what you have seen in the Hyundai crit so endline in that terms yes you will have fun and it will bring a smile on your face whenever you will be revving it now the major difference that you will find is in the handling Department of the car like we are just around the corner and and the biggest difference is in the steering geometry yes the steering has been stiffened up a bit it weighs up better to give you more confidence behind the wheel it is confidence inspiring and helps you to get a better command on the nose of the car so yes the interns are also quick and you know just because of that slightly stiffer setup you can actually carry a bit more speed around the corner because you can point the C to the direction you want and you can hold it to an extent so that is a good feedback to have in my opinion moreover earlier the heft in the steering wheel in Hyundai cars was slightly on the artificial side so whenever you used to push it harder they used to you know way up accurately but again that stiffness used to feel a bit artificial now here it has been solved to an extent not completely but yes to an extent because it feels slightly fluidic whenever you are pushing it and whenever you are revving it hard around the corner and that again makes it quite engaging behind the wheel as well so that is a good feedback to have in my opinion and goes with the character of an endline car now on the down so people who are used to H steering that feels feather light in city traffic now Hyundai endline especially the hyai endline can feel you know a slightly cumbersome steering because again the steering geometry has been uh recalibrated to go with the sport forer character of the car and to enhance driving appeal so there you need a bit more heft but um it is not a big concern just that if you're used to you know single hand driving heavy if you drive normally like with both your hands on the steering wheel issue it's not like but yes comparatively it feels a bit cumbersome now second Improvement that you will get to feel is in the suspension setup of the car what difference perceptible you know but there's a slight difference so the suspension again has been stiffened up slightly and how it helps you is that you know it gives you more confidence again to go around corners because Body Rolls comparatively are controlled also remember that this car is riding on a size bigger 18in alloy wheels and that also helps to enhance the overall drivability and you know handling driving dynamics of the car so together the slightly bigger wheel size and the slightly stiffer sust ension setup help you to carry more speed around corner and you know improves turs because the rear suspension feels slightly more stiffer compared to but overall in amalgamation I think it gives you a good driving Dynamic and whenever you around the corner or whenever you are changing lanes at higher speed let's say triple speeds if you're changing lanes the car feels very stable and very composed and that's a very good good feedback to [Music] have now why I like that the suspension has been stiffened up just slightly and not overly as we have earlier felt in you know other Hyundai nline cars like the venue or more so in the hyai I20 treta it feels a bit Supple and I like that because the low speed ride quality Still Remains very SED so earlier my problem with the inline was that low speed you know it used to tou through a lot but here in the endline crer again that thing has been taken care of so you know it doesn't tou through so much that it will pinch you in the back and on a longer go or even on the regular City traffic all passengers will be more comfortable and that is something I like because it brings in the right balance between comfort and you know good driving Dynamics and yes you have other eights like P shifters and I love to use them just whenever I want to make a quick move one down shift and it's quick to respond the gear box and the exhaust note again really makes you [Applause] smile and now let's have a look at the variants and prices which by the way are the introductory X showroom prices inline variants available here N8 and n10 and both are offered with the choice of either a six-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission X showroom prices for the NX 6-speed manual transmission begin at 16 82,000 rupe while the NX 7speed DCT automatic is priced at1 18 82,000 rupe the top end n10 6-speed manual variant is priced at 19 34,000 rupe while the topof the line n10 7-speed DCT automatic variant is priced at 203,000 rupes so what's the parkplus verdict now I agree that the CR inline comes at a premium but if you're willing to spend that much this is a car that stands out in the crowd and reflects that sense of sportiness in the way it looks and to an extent in the way it drives as well so yes if you're out in the market to shop in the sub 25 L category and if you're looking for a car that makes a style statement this could be one of your Worthy inations and on that note do subscribe to the park plus channel to hit the Bell icon to stay notified and to head to the app for all the updates in the Indian car Bower and
