This is what a mature and unbiased review looks like. Having a favourite car brand and bashing a rival brand doesn’t help anyone. Unbiased reviews like these are rare on KZfaq these days but are extremely important for larger good of car enthusiasts community.

Telling people to skip right to the end and get the summary instead of spending 40 minutes is a bold move. Views won't be counted if people only watch 10 percent of a video. This shows that they don't care much about the superficial stuff. They care about serving the audience. Hats off!!!

Trademark Creta owner traits: 1: Highbeam Flashing 2: Continuous Honking 3: Following too close to the vehicles infront, even on open highways. 4: Thinking of it as Paul Walker's R34 GTR in Fast 4 and driving it like that way in the city and traffic conditions 5: Window all blacked out with the tints borrowed from House Harkonnen from Dune itself so that not a single glimmer of daylight would enter that cabin. 6: Playing music so loud with the windows closed that the motorcyclists waiting at the signal nearby would get abs workout because of the bass boom. 7: Did i mention "Honking"? P.S: We never have done this and don't think we do this just because we own two Cretas lol.

We actually have the 2015 1st gen Creta with the iconic 1.6CRDi motor and the 2nd gen pre facelift model with the 1.4 DCT in our family. Both have served us well till now( 1.6D Creta has done 376k kms and 1.4DCT Creta has done 48k kms). Brand Creta for the win!🔥🔥🔥🔥 The 1st gen Creta is surely the most handsome of all Cretas but the soft suspension always had given us second thoughts if you want to have some fun on highways. Its more of a cruiser. No such issues in the 2nd gen Creta. Its dynamics are in the whole another level if we compare it to the 1st gen Creta.

My growing years - on a Sunday- started with Mahabharata then came the jungle book, Shakitman and now Motorinc First… 😊. Good going guys

I think there's a big lesson here for TATA Motors to learn. Rather than making "Personas" that nobody can remember, they should thing about making something like TATA's version of N-Line instead. I know I've seen the Altroz racer but it's not on the road yet. Their DARK pack is the best platform to make a sporty version of a Harrier or the Safari. Thanks for educating us about this kind of stuff that generally we won't be aware of. I've watched other videos on the Creta N-Line where they were getting excited by the new sporty looking diffuser & the rear spoiler, you're the only people who raised the question of practicality so I bow down to you people with respect. Anybody can get excited by things that you see for the first time but one needs the audacity to take a step back & think about it's purpose. Hat's off to you guys! Love from Bengaluru! Also sorry for a lengthy comment!😉

We need more Firsts, I wanna watch them more than once a week 🙏🏽

I'm not generally interested in cars but I'll tune in to see these two discuss anything.

Another hitting it out of the park episode guys. Thanks a ton for making my Sunday. I am an owner of a Polo TSI which is closing on 11 years and want to upgrade to a spacious vehicle. I hate the looks of the Creta since the gen 2 and that hasn’t changed with the newer generation and the N line. Despite that I look past it, as I feel that it’s one of the most practical vehicle available for a user like me who is an enthusiast at heart but need to be aware of family needs and this N line seems to have made it a bit more appealing. The trouble however is the dealership experience, it’s been a month since I visited both Hyundai and Kia showrooms in town, both don’t have a turbo DCT for a TD and want me to drive a diesel MT and book the car. When Kartik mentioned about doing back to back test drives of the regular Turbo and the N line turbo, I felt really sad. The only dealerships who offered a TD of all the combinations of engine and transmission are the VAG people. They are Incredible driving machines, which doesn’t offer a peace of mind. Sucks being stuck in a limbo like this. Thanks again guys!

Glad to you mentioned the high beams and flashing lights bcz i feel ppl actually listen to you guys. And a great idea to lower the stance a bit to make it feel sportier, enthusiasts will definitely appreciate it . Good video guys and all the best for the next one

Ironically Shumi, MotorInc First is the only youtube series that gives me joy the longer it is, genuinely.

Well, what a wonderful review of a car. Your videos are long but kinda keep engaging throughout the whole duration with fun, informative and detailed content. So, I had advanced booked the Normal Creta facelift with 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT versions and was desperately waiting for a quicker delivery, but now I really thanks to Hyundai to keep me waiting for like 2 months and then I saw the Creta N Line, went to showroom and I feel in love with the design, interior (for some reason find it more premium and appealing) and each and every way it got emotionally attached. So next day I transferred my booking from Normal one to N Line (N10, DCT, Black) and received a call that car has been allocated to me, I will be taking the delivery in next week ❤🔥 Now after watching your video on N Line, feels a good decision I made. I always feel happy to watch all your videos and brings smile every time to the enthusiast in me. More love to you both ❤

always appreciate the chapters

You guys make sundays better!! Can we have an episode on the state of the Japanese companies in India please, we've loved their bikes for their performance and reliability but now seem to be missing out on some of the best in class motorcyles which they refuse to bring to India in a meaningful way

6:07 I remember shumi saying once he had two RD 350s in his garage

Thanks for this. Do you have any reliability concerns with the DCT? Could you share some thoughts or make a video on it?

How’s the driving experience compared to Taigun GT and Kushal 1.5 TSI especially the handling part?

I love these conversations! Thank you for the high quality content.

Your Opinion on this vs Kushaq Monte carlo 1.5 in terms of driving dynamics

Thoroughly enjoying the banter between you two. Your take on automotive reviews is so refreshing as compared to other reviewers from other auto journalists who are noisy and busy. I have one question about 18 inch wheels and that is about the tyre height. A lower side profile often results in tyre sidewall damage or even a bent rim on a bad road. This was a huge issue on my C Class with 19 inch wheels and even my Ecosport with 17 inch wheels with 205/50 tyres. After numerous tyre replacements and 2 bent rims needing replacement, I couldn’t get around the problem on the C Class and sold it. For Ecosport I shifted to 215/55 to solve the problem which worked. Having learned the hard way, I am very weary of anything larger than 16 inch wheels. What do you think?

Hi Kartikeya and Shumi, I love watching your videos to the extent that in all the years of watching KZfaq videos, I think this is my first comment on a video ever. Great job, please keep it up. Please read on… One Hyundai/Kia feature that Kartikeya had pointed out in his Seltos review was the tilting seat feature. This was never spoken of after that in any of your videos (Or any other video covering the Korean cars). I am a tall (191 cm) man, and under-thigh support is a big part of seat comfort for me. I recently test drove most sedans and csuvs in the 15-20L price bracket - even went a segment up to Harrier/Octavia/Compass. I am not an enthusiastic driver and 90% of my driving is in the city. I was amazed at how much of the difference this tilty seat feature makes to the seat comfort and the fact that NO car maker has this feature other than the Koreans. Honestly, this feature made such a big difference for me that I am not sure I can even consider any car other than creta/seltos anymore. This brings me to my big grouse with the Koreans: 1. Why couldn’t they get the manual seats to also tilt? I don’t care about automatic seat adjustment, but I am having to pay for it just for this feature. 2. Because this feature is only compatible with auto seats, I am having to pay extra towards ADAS also. In context of this video, I’ll have to choose the N10 just because of the tilty seat. There is no version of seltos/creta which gets auto seats but no ADAS. It’s worse with Seltos. I can’t get tilty seat with an IVT gearbox at all! 3. Why can’t this be brought in the Verna? It’s just a perfect car I thought. Not even the top version of Verna gets this! When you’re driving at 20 kph 90% of the times (true for most of the people), ergonomics and driver / passenger comfort become way more important than the extent to which these things are being covered by the media presently. I hope you spend a little (just a little more) time in discussing comfort and ergonomics.

What a session 😂... Just beautiful... I have graduated to watch most KZfaq videos on 2X speed, but this channel i watch to relax. My 2 cents, in today's session the occasional written descriptions that came were a little bit long and fast moving to read.

18:40, exactly my concern too! Great one Shumi sir!

Love these mature conversations with bits of fun into it. Please continue doing this every when possible emphasizing that quick review seekers can listen to the summary at the end. Hats off! ❤

As always great listening to you guys

Very mature and honest review(as always). I got hooked to this channel when I started researching for motorcycle, but now I just watch these videos for relxation! Soothing voice of Kartik and witty comments by Shumi are to blame for this! I am planning to upgrade my car 2-3 years down the line. By that time you guys will have already entertained and educated me enough. Thank you for the great work you are doing. Keep it up!

I recently bought an i20 n line and I totally get how that steering wheel changes the feel of what it's like to drive the car. It's a significant factor in why I've put 800km on it in 3 weeks! Hyundai gets a huge plus from me for having an option for 25 y/o enthusiasts who look at europe and their hot hatches with envy, and the n line experience has changed how I look at the brand itself.

What a calming sensation it is to witness such a harmonious discussion on cars. The atmosphere is impeccable, from the engaging conversations to the wealth of knowledge and the seamless presentation against a fitting backdrop. You all are executing this wonderfully. Finally, a show where one can effortlessly absorb the dialogue. Wishing you all the best! On another note, I couldn't help but notice there hasn't been an episode featuring MG yet. Am I overlooking something? Additionally, many will be interested in acquiring and learning more about various aspects of cars beyond just reviews, such as used car markets, insurance, vehicle health checks, and more. We believe you can certainly provide valuable insights in these areas as well.

Both of you made my sunday "Awesome"

Thank you so much for this.... Finally got a good thing to start this Sunday

great great great.. there is no pic or montage on the car yet they keep you hooked.. quality conversation!

I am "really" glad I got to see this on Sunday morning...🙂

Concise and useful information about the experience along with sarcasm, jokes and puns. Absolute perfection as always! 😅

I am a first generation CRETA owner and I just LOVE it...thinking about the N Line now

Hi Kartik & Shumi, as always it was a pleasure listening to your thoughts on the new Creta-N. This one's for you Shumi. You touched base on point with the Citroen Aircross & were supposed to pickup the point after the summary. I was looking forward to your thoughts comparing both. I'm looking for a good midsize SUV in the near future. My head tells me to go with Citroen Aircross considering my family dynamics. However, at heart Creta is something that gets me excited. Looking at the driving dynamics of the Citroen Aircross along with the massive boot if we get rid of 3rd row seats, it makes sense at the price point it's delivered. However, with the Creta-N the issue I was trying to get around for the design of the front grill has been sorted. With the update on the regular Creta the gaps on the front grill were a concern since you could touch & extract a sensor. It looks really nice, however Hyundai should have seen this issue as we hold them a such high standards in India. Please do touch this point whenever you can manage some time. As always thank you for your views on the new Creta-N 😊

I have venue n line and steering is the one thing that distinguishes it from regular venue and suspension is slight different but it’s very subtle!

This is what genuine conversation between 2 auto enthusiasts looks like, not just rehashing marketing material from the company. Subscribed!

love what you guys do 👍

I have a question- I am proud owner of swift diesel 2015 model, which is great. Now I want to upstage to Creta Nline N8 model, not sure if it good for office commute in Bangalore where roads are narrow and even bad at some stretches. Please suggest I need to go regular Creta or N line

Watching a 45-minute conversation like this is worthy. It's not at all a waste of time. Time well spent!

Superb conversation again, loved the way this show is quite calm, witty and no nonsense presentation. Love to team Motor inc

Hi Shumi and Kartik! I'm a brand new 'MotorIncer'. The format of automotive coverage on this channel is a game-changer. The way you share your experiences with the vehicles is more insightful, particularly when the back and forth kicks in. I hope this streak continues and the channel grows quantitatively, but not at the cost of the quality of your production and discussion. Also, I really hope that automakers are keeping tabs because the suggestions, expectations and ideas you pitch are more reflective of what consumers need and want. Keep up the awesome work!

A brilliant one, Kartikeya and Shumi...I get what Kartikeya is bringing to the table about the small step-up by Hyundai....I had the 2001 Hyundai Accent...I bought mine about 2 years after it was launched...the initial cars had very comfortable " suspension, playing possibly to the larger public demand for "maska-maafik" comfort...but at the same time, they were becoming wallowy boats, the tail tipping backwards, the steering consequently going too light for control , a frightening experience...by the time I got mine, Hyundai had worked it out, the ride was firm and flat, the control in corners simply perfect, with the independent rear suspension delivering comfort and control...I had great fun with it..then they stiffened it too much, became hard and uncomfortable, and by the time the first Verna came along, they went back and had to spend five years getting good suspension back...same with the Creta....I didn't buy the Creta as it was a throwback to the first Accents...they then got it right...the market buys their first choice, they know their customer base well..I just think the middle set of cars from Hyundai are best, and safer...looking forward as you are, Kartikeya, to that improved Verna and Creta....maybe it will get me back to the Hyundai fold after a long absence, due to uninspiring cars in the interregnum... After all, I retained my Accent for 22 years....let it go to a friend who now enjoys it as I did..

Hey guys, awesome video! Just wanted to point a small audio/video sync issue at 9:42

30:20 the real bigshot suggestion Will be to bring i20 N 1.5 turbo in india. In 15lkh It has .launch control . Better transmission . Insane exhaust . Insane suspension . Insane tyres . Adas These are very unique performance and experience upliftment features absent in indian hithatches In 15lkh. It would be a hot hatch hit

Loved it❤... Awesome podcast as usual

Does the DCT gearbox in manual mode hold a gear?

I am tempted to finish this podcast right now, but I'd rather savour this at night. Your episodes have a calming effect on me, but puts me to sleep fast(in a good way-like grand ma's bed time stories). So, I eventually keep coming back to your podcasts the following day to finish. And, I am not even in the market for a new vehicle! Kudos on creating a new benchmark in automobile reviews. The greatest of lullabies for the enthusiasts. Keep 'em coming!

I also would like ro re-emphasize that the summary of the "can't really re-empasize enough that the car is wonderful to drive" was really really on point and wonderful.

Creta N line or Taigun GT or Kushaq 1.5 which would be your pick for driving enthusiasts ?

Insightful discussion

Marking my attendance- great video

Great review Kartikeya, great puns/sarcasms Shumi. I am concerned about the 18 inch wheels on broken roads since you didn't get a chance to drive it on broken patches, will it be jarring? I am a first gen EcoSport owner, so u get the gist.

Great job! Very nicely done. I was waiting for Karthik’s verdict. Now I am upgrading to N Line. Thank you.

Thanks for making my Sunday better. Also appreciate the suggestion to test drive both the Creta and the N Line Version back-to-back.

Shumi’s side eyes 👀 after every witty comment is one of many reasons I love this content 😂

n line manual or automatic, which transmission is more interesting?

fantastic motorinc first episode

@Motorinc your voice is so soothing now I use your podcasts to fall asleep

Do you think this variant can be compared to a Harrier dark in its price range? If yes, which would be a better driver's car with practicality ?

Discovering MotorInc is one of the best things that has happened to me in the last 6 months. I love the passion and understanding and honestly feel so good when some of my opinions are validated by the legendary Shumi and Kartikeya. I am looking to buy my first bike and have more or less narrowed it down to Triumph Speed 400, one of the Honda 350s or the new Honda CB300R. I have an unexplainable love for the Honda brand since the only car in my family so far has been the 2008 Honda City and it has served us very well as a city car on the problematic streets of Mumbai. I understand the take that the Honda 350s don't act/behave like a real Honda, but this is going to be my first bike and I don't have a perspective into that. While I have seen Shumi's videos on the Hness 350 and the 350RS, I can't find any on the CB300R. Also, I understand that there is no comparison segment on this channel, yet. I was hoping to see a video on the 300R before I go out and take test rides of all these bikes. Is this something that can be done?

What is the xpulse and Himalayan equivalent in cars under 10 lakhs?

This is how a positive automotive review is done..... glad you guys are here 😄

25:58 - Spot on! Let's keep the love for cars alive and thriving.

Great watch! ❤❤ I love the idea of lowered SUVs/MUVs too. Wish some brand really launched it.

Dear motorinc, can you please suggest me a car for a beginner for city use under 10-11 lakhs on road? (Automatic preferred) thank you.

Keep it as it is, detailed and expressive!

Kartik advises are noted down 😊 and it's a great analysis of creta . Thank you guys

Super explanation as always, what was the Karthik’s shoe 😅

Thank you.

intro music is pretty cooll!!

My family is not able decide between creta nline and seltos xline, can someone give us some advice soon? It would be helpful

Thanks you for your valuable suggestions I will go with N8

You know ita a good day when motor inc video is up.

@karthikeya @schumi What a great conversation woah..made my Sunday special. You guys have discussed every pro(s)and con(s) possible in the best way possible. I have recently purchased a manual i20 nline manual transmission and it’s my humble request to you guys to make a review of the manual transmission version. Because there is day/night difference between the dct i20 nline and the manual one.❤

So what's the verdict, Sletos X Line vs Creta N Line??

Oooh Man Love You Guys Shumi & Karthik. At the end of the day it feels like stressburster after listening ❤️❤️

Excellent 👌 Also wondering and looking forward if you did get chance to review BYD cars.

Would love to know what vehicles you guys bring home for yourselfs and what was the thought process behind it. Considering you get to drive almost all of them and are aware of more factors than the average customer. How are those to live with and all those stuff.

C3 AIRCROSS AT (JULY VERSION WITH SOME BETTER FEATURES) or Creta N line DCT? (N8) Which has got a better drivability? Thinking of buying

My guys, the entire discussion about the Creta N-Line was absolutely amazing. Loved every bit of, unbiased and straightforward thoughts put into it. To Shumi - Hi, I was just listening to this in shower today and yes, I have the problem of being visually creative 🤣

Now this is a tasteful discussion worth watching

Please suggest the best grippy tyres for Apache 160 2V(Rear drum 2015 model)

Keep it up Motorbeam.

I have one question about Adaptive Cruise Control. If I activate it in the city. Do I have to perform Brake and Acceleration or it just follows the vehicle ahead of it? I would buy DCT if it does. Or else I am a manual fan without ADass 😂

Great (Micro) Detailed Review......

Whoa! The first time I've seen someone 😦 encouraging skipping their video to the sweet spot another reason to love this channel.

0-100 kph in 8.9 sec, is it for dct or manual? because manual will be faster than type of dct available in Inida (they are not like pdk) and good session by both of you, nailing it.

16:45 that throaty exhaust note is a crucial difference between an nline and regular model in i20. It is not a noise. Since the time i have purchased my i20 nline i just love that exhaust note. Infact i have stopped playing music in my car at times just to enjoy that throaty note. It just relieves me while returning from work after a exhausting day.

Better things can wait ! I can listen to them for 24 hrs nonstop.

so about the spoilers correct me if im wrong they are supposed to work on cars with rear wheel driving to give more grip in some conditions ,but here if they do that then the front lifts up making less grip at the front which leads to disbalance or if it lifts the back then whenever u turn anyways the rear will be off.(if it works)

Superb review, covered all the points beautifully! Got my Creta N-line delivered on Sat in black (probably the 1st one in Blr). Already driven 1100 kms and I'm absolutely in love with the car. Hyundai have nailed it. It has dual personality. It's sporty enough for occasional spirited runs and perfectly comfortable for the long road trips with family.

I had a habbit of having lazy sundays which eventually meant that monday blues are inevitable.. and it became a literal meme that where did my weekend go.. so now i do a lazy saturday and get myself going on sunday rides/drives.. early morning and man it feels alive.. no more monday blues and sunday is where the momentum gets build for the rest of the week.. Just wanted to share.. thank you for making my sunday all the more enjoyable #vernaNkaVernan

Great video! Testing the manual gearbox would have added another layer to the review, especially considering the high fun factor and potentially lower cost associated with manual transmissions. Additionally, it's worth noting that manual gearbox options aren't available in the standard Creta, so experiencing it in the N Line would have been particularly interesting.

Every time I come back for more of the Intro track..!! 🕺🏻

Please suggest me whether I should go for N8 manual or dct. Also if N10, manual or automatic. And if N10 manual,then it would be wise to go for extended warranty.

@motorinc This was so well covered!! Thanks a ton…Need help to make a decision for buying a creta sized SUV. Some background- My wife already drives a 2022 Seltos top end automatic dct. So that is ruled out. My need: Daily office commute and 2 times a year by road vacay.. Car should be fun to drive with all bells and whistles on offer out there. Open to sedan too. Slavia or Virtus 1.5. Other options I am open too Taigun and Kushaq 1.5. Waiting for n line creta test drive this week. But confused as to which car is an overall good package. Please suggest

Considering how much love you guys have for Verna, I really wish you guys make a detailed impression of the Verna for us

I love how this episode was all about driving and experience provided by the car.

Good job guys ❤
