BOLD BENCHMARK

The Hyundai Creta stands as a testament to Hyundai's triumph in the Indian automotive landscape, following in the impactful footsteps of the iconic Santro. While the Santro set the stage with its affordability and reliability, the Creta entered the scene, capturing a distinct market segment with its audacious design, expansive interiors, and robust performance.

Swiftly ascending to the summit of the compact SUV market, the Creta etched its name as a household favourite, embodying Hyundai's unwavering dedication to understanding and surpassing the expectations of Indian car enthusiasts. Now, the baton passes to the all-new Creta, poised to navigate the delicate balance of honouring its predecessor's legacy while steering Hyundai into an even more promising chapter of India's automotive future. With a commitment to heightened features, cutting-edge technology, and an exhilarating driving experience, the new Creta aspires not only to carry forward the torch of past triumphs but to spark a fresh era of driving enthusiasm for Hyundai in India.

Now an extraordinary journey to uncover the allure of the highly anticipated Hyundai Creta, our initiation into this automotive adventure took an unexpected turn. Unlike the usual airport-to-hotel transit, we found ourselves handed the keys to the all-new Creta right upon landing. With directions leading us to our hotel nearly 70 km away, this unconventional start set the stage for an immersive and experiential introduction to Hyundai's latest masterpiece.

CHARACTER CERTIFICATE

Recently, I drove the new Mahindra Bolero, an all-black number that somehow still manages to turn heads and spark conversations. Of course, the bare-basic automobile made me wonder out loud at length about its nature. The seats were terrible, it didn’t go very fast, it didn’t steer all that well at whatever speeds it could muster, and stopping was as much a matter of braking technology as it was of prayers. But I liked it. It had character. It sort of reminded me of the Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, which once pleasantly surprised me with its lovely nature, even though I was done for by the end of the day. The days spent in the Bolero and on the Bobber confirmed what I've always known — too much character is bad for my back.
