Hyundai Creta 2018 review

-
Hey guys, Welcome back to Carwahi. 
➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤

The car I'm gonna review is the Hyundai's premium crossover Creta.

Hyundai released it's crossover in 2015 in India & a face-lift version has recently been unveiled in 2018.


The Hyundai Creta face-lift is priced from Rs. 9.44 lakh all the way up to Rs. 15.03 lakh. The face-lift version is much needed to the premium crossover/compact SUV considering the sales of this car averaging about 10,000 units/month. 

Has the Creta face-lift improved from its predecessor model, Let's have a look at the list:   

➤  FEATURES : Talking about the features on-offer by Hyundai, it gets Six-Ways Power Adjustable driver seat, Electric Sun-Roof, Cruise Control, 7" Touch Infotainment System with Mirrorlink, Andriod Auto, Apple CarPlay & Segment first Wireless charging pad, isn't that a tech thing, HATS OFF! Hyundai. 
Whereas the ABS, EBD & Dual Airbags are Standard in their line-up.


                                                                 
They have also introduced to two new color schemes such as Passion Orange & Marina Blue, in reality they looks awesome as they'r also more reflective than other colors.

➤ ENGINE : Hyundai kept the engine untouched as the petrol & diesel engines are still offering with same power & torque as the previous gen. More efficient engine is the 1.4L Petrol as it expels out 89 bhp of Power & 133 Nm of torque, whereas the 1.6L Petrol produces 121 bhp & 151 Nm of Peak Torque.
The 1.6L CRDi produces 126 bhp & 260 Nm of torque on offer. The diesel engine tends to get loud post 4000 rpm as the low-end lag is very much well contained in this engine. But you can't get the kick-in-the-pants feel with this engine. 

➤  EXTERIOR :  Although there hasn't been any dramatic changes to the exterior. Yes, they have made some changes which gives the car more upmarket & modern look. The front gets Hyundai family's new trending Chunky-cascading grille which makes the car more bolder from the front. 
Headlights have been re-constructed to a more slim version of it changing the position of the DRLs at the bottom, beside the slightly smaller Fog-lamps.
The bumper has been revamped which now gets a skid plate at the front to give a off-road sense.

➤ SIDE PROFILE : The changes that you'll notice is the newly designed 17" machine cut alloys & are restricted to the top trim variant only. As you closely notice on the windows, they'r slightly re-modified from the previous gen.

➤ INTERIOR : The interior has been slightly tweaked to give it a more premium appeal as the seat cushioning has been improved & dashboard now in light-colored beige with the soft plastics. The top trim SX+ gets all black interior with orange trims, that is something cool, isn't it?

➤BOOT : Noticing the boot you'll realize, the back-lights have been re-shaped to more stretched version & with improved clarity. The rear bumper have also been revamped as the reflector housing is modified to an all-around black treatment. But the boot space is still the same of 400 L that's enough for long highway trips.
So, the Conclusion is that the face-lift version of Creta is bit pricey deal but it can be considerable looking at the features it offers with the premium looks in interior as well as at the exterior & a Hyundai badge. It has a great built quality of rating 4 NCAP performed crash test.

RE launches Interceptor 650 & Continental GT 650 in US

A good news for RE fans out there! Royal Enfield's most rumored Interceptor 650 & the Continental GT has a long history to talk about, previously launched in the year 1960 & 1965 respectively but with different engine capacities. Now Royal Enfield has planned something serious about it & they've finally launched it in an event in US. Testing the seating positions of both the bikes we get to know that Interceptor 650 is designed for exclusive touring & the Continental GT 650 is for the cafe-racer because of the aggressive seating position. Seat height is kept at 793 mm & 804 mm for the Continental GT 650 & Interceptor 650 respectively. The ground clearance is kept 174 mm standard on the two. The engine is a 648 cc liquid cooled twin-parallel engine which produces about 47 Bhp at 7250 RPM & a peak torque of 52 Nm at 5250 RPM, which is slightly under-powered looking at the dimensions of the bikes. The braking system is shared between the t

Lucky to have my hands on Maruti 800

Hello & welcome to Carwahi . Maruti Suzuki launched the 800 back in 1983 which run successfully till 2013  as Maruti was loosing the sales number as well as the profit that's why they finally stopped the production  after many face-lifts were introduced. The first Maruti 800 was based on the Suzuki Fronte . Maruti 800 has a-lot of history, you can just Google it out or if you want me to tell then comment down below about this. Talking about the engine, it was a 4-cylinder 800 cc motor paired with 4-speed gearbox (Later 5-speed) which used to produce 37 bhp of power & the kerb weight was 600+ kgs . I feel very lucky to drive this "Millionaire" as Maruti 800 was sold at about 2.88 million in its lifespan. I've been looking for to drive some of the old cars fortunately my friend does own one. My first impression, it was compact & the design language is just superb, the square shaped headlights & the black color bumper with the i

BMW Showcases G 310 RR Supersport

BMW bikes are known for its speed, better control & a hell lot of torque as well. BMW recently launched their adventure 300 cc bike in India that's the BMW 310 GS & BMW 310 R, continuing the same engine as in TVS Apache 310 RR. Recently BMW conducted a BMW Motorad Show in Japan, where the BMW G 310 RR is being showcased which uses a carbon full-fairing in-order to make the bike more aerodynamic & weigh less to gain the top-speed in no time. The gill pattern  designed fairing is designed to cool down the engine naturally as much as possible. The huge sticker in the front fairing is designed fantastically which gives a feeling of riding a beast & I'm quiet sure that you won't be able to identify either the bike is of 300 cc or a 1000 cc as many of the parts are being shared from the BMW S 1000 RR.  The mechanical components like the suspension, brakes are expected to be shared with the Apache 310 RR as the BMW 300 cc bikes are being closely looked o
