GeekXplained : Some numbers to cement some ideas we discussed in the First. Hope this helps. 1) The Exter looks taller than it feels: Height: 1631mm vs 1615 for Punch. But it doesn't feel taller than the Tata. Because, without roof rails the Exter's height is: a) 1598mm on 15” wheels b) 1585 for 14” wheels Sure, the Punch also has roof rails but they are much lower. 2) Sluggish engine Look at the max speeds in the first three gears: 1st - 48kmph, 2nd - 88kmph, 3rd - 132kmph. Yes an indicated 132kmph in 3rd gear! No imagine accelerating in a gear - which explains why the engine feels dull - because it will rev up slowly. 3) Highway Gearing Here are the engine rpms at 50kmph: 2nd - 3700rpm 3rd gear - 2400rpm (1300rpm lower) 4th gear - 1700rpm (1300rpm lower) 5th gear 50 1300rpm (400rpm lower) So, for a given speed the 5th gear doesn’t rev much lower than the 4th gear. Hence fuel efficiency won’t be dramatically better when cruising on the highway. Let me know what you think!

People have to understand that a 5 star crash rated car isn’t gonna save them from all accidents, Even those cars would crumble if one drives rashly and ram into other vehicles. At the same time, there is not actually a driving discipline in our country, one can’t be sure that other drivers on the road will drive sanely. It’s good to have a car that performed well in crash test as that would give the feeling you got a pretty safe car under you. Kudos to Tata for making their cars safer.

This is such a half cooked argument. This implies that a 5 star is no better than a 3 star. Which is just not the case. There was recently a video where a boulder fell on a harrier and people walked out alive out of it. There was a case of an army truck driving over, yes, OVER an XUV 300 and the passengers were unharmed. A 5 star rated car will DEFINITELY keep you safer in MORE situations than a 3 star. If you're refuting this basic statement, then i don't even understand.

Driven Hyundai i20 Active for 2.75 lakh kms and exchanged it for Tiago NRG XZ in Nov 2022. TATA NRG is every bit comparable to i20 Active and than some more, saftey mileage and lower cost of ownership. In love with TATA now. 🤟

Interesting. How does the NRG stand against Punch?

@gouravsoni6349 11 ай бұрын

I did extensive research and took multiple test rides with Punch Altroz and NRG from the Tata family. I did not like the overall feel of Punch. It was underpowered when compared to NRG. Also, the mileage figures of NRG are way superior to those of Punch thanks to its aerodynamic body compared to Punch's boxy shape. Punch is good for mileage only if you drive really slowly and under 80 kmph. I needed a car for major highway usage and some offroad too for reaching work sites. And at speeds of 100-110 at NH44, NRG gives me 18-20 kmpl, tank to tank; at speeds of 80-85, it gives 22-24 kmpl; and in Nagpur city, I get 14-15 kmpl. In Punch, we just get a bit more mm's in boot and cabin space, with a 5-star safety rating and mini Harrier looks. I do daily office travel on my TVS NTORQ scooter. Car is primarily for wife and family, so the features we get in top-end variants are very beneficial for a woman driver with a 2-year-old kid. A fully loaded NRG XZ made more sense to me than Punch's second variant at 8 lakh on the road. Also, there is more glass area in Tiago NRG compared to Punch or Altroz. I am 6 ft tall, so I have no problem driving any car, but my wife and other family members are 5ft 5 inches or below, so NRG's wide glass area and seats with height adjustment helps there. After 24000 km in the last 7 months and 4 services done, I am in love with the Tata Tiago NRG. No complaints with the car or TATA service.

The more I’m watching your discussions, the more I’m getting a clarity on what “I” specifically want in my upcoming purchase rather than just take in what’s the best in the market. I generally want to drill down deeper like this when analysing a vehicle(be it for purchase pr just out of love) where I don’t have people with my somewhat decent level(at-least i think so) of technical & intricate exploration, in my circle. It’s those little nuances in your discussions that you mention which make you a completely different channel from what the typical car/bike channel does. Kudos to you guys for discussing things at finer details.

Highly VFM Vehicle.. Top notch features, space, quality, fit and finish for a muscular hatchback 😅 Somehow I get a baby defender vibes from the front.. Even the safety suit looks promising.. The engine refinement is also unbeatable when compared to Punch.. Ride and handling is just fine.. Paired with Hyundai's superb network, service and reliability, this vehicle will surely give a tough fight to the Punch.. The pricing is just the cherry on the cake ❤ However, the only thing which isn't upto my taste is borrowing the interiors from Nios and Aura, they just look too cheap and quirky.. A different dashboard layout could do the job... Overall, a serious option for my family under 10 lakh 😊

@wilsonmpaul 11 ай бұрын

I think we fuss over the star rating exactly because we know there are indisciplined drivers on the road. Us being disciplined is only half the story. The star rating is what gives you some semblance of confidence for the remaining half of the story. So this disdain for star rating conversation was quite disappointing. I had a close call last week due to someone coming head on in a one way when both of us were around 60 kmph. I could swerve out and avoid the exact 50 percent overlap we see in crash tests. What if i couldn't despite my best efforts? My wife was buckled in and my 17 month old was buckled in his car seat. Star rating conversation is not over rated. Not a Tata or Mahindra owner but a Honda Brio owner thinking of his next car.

@motorinc 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely. But do most of the people discussing those stars know what the numbers and facts actually mean? 99% are surprised to know what _all_ Indian cars do pass a 55kmph test anyway to be approved for sale. Bharat NCAP should fix the data gap in result reporting shortly

@motorinc 11 ай бұрын

Shumi's making a very simple point. If you are going to take safety ratings seriously, then learn what they mean. Star ratings are the most digested, easy for marketing form of understanding the crash test. Each continent offers a different logic for the stars. All of this slips under the radar when it comes to discussing star ratings. So first, people can read the stars, but not what that means for you as a driver in the real world. Second. If you're interested, you should read the 2021 Accident report MoRTH published. Fatality rates are falling, total incidents are going up. As in we're buying more cars and having more crashes, but crashes as a percentage of cars bought is falling. And you'll see why we think skills are more important than just crash test ratings. Here's 4 data points: 1. 70% of accidents happens on straight roads 2. 50%+ are in open areas (not in city etc) 3. 50% of the drivers killed were not wearing seat belts 4. 67% of crashes happened on clear, sunny days. 5. 70% of the time, the cause was listed as overspending. Sounds like a skill issue, no?

Recently booked the facelift Seltos and started searching for reviews on KZfaq. Watched a bunch of them but couldn't find anything by the long haired guy who's reviews I enjoyed in the past. Then got curious and found an old review for the XUV700. Searched by his name and found MotorInc. Happy to see him still doing his thing. Now waiting for his review of the facelift Seltos 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT before I sign the paperwork with Kia.

Way too good guys to have such long format videos, so that a customer can get more smaller details while considering a purchase. Regarding the last statement that Shumi made. You're spot on as always. ❤️ I always wondered why everyone is so bragging about the global ncap. That's just a lab test done with so many criteria. 😮

@VikasJaink 11 ай бұрын

Imagine if a car fails in lab criteria then how bad it would be in the real world. As said in the real world it would act for more than 80 km/hr. So GNCAP is a good rating. It shows how the structure will be stable after a crash. 6 airbags is a myth, structural rigidity is way more important than Air bags.

@aravind1264 11 ай бұрын

@@VikasJaink in that case, why are not all cars that are sold in India are tested ? GNCAP is not a global company as it feels. It's an organisation that does test cars for basically Indian & European markets. Why is a Tata Harrier or Safari not being tested ? They're also made of the same materials. We cannot judge by the failure or the tests in tests in GNCAP, as Singhee was saying in this video, conditions for accidents do differ. If you're colliding with something stronger/bigger/heavier than your vehicle, then your vehicle will have the higher damage & vice versa. With a car colliding into a stationary object at a speed of 55kmph with an offset angle, we cannot judge how that will impact a car running on the roads.

@aravind1264 11 ай бұрын

Also, there was a video made by Faisal Khan regarding the global ncap crash tests. Right now, I'm not able to get that. I'll tag it if I get that video. That video was describing everything about how this company is working & how cars are being tested.

Now the Verna has 5 star, it is released today itself. Irony is I saw an unfortunate accident today of the Verna today itself, car was crushed. Not even sure the driver survived or not, they took to hospital and all. All air cushions were out. And what people said was bad driving, he slammed the car into a standing truck at like 110. So what I means 5 star may be a peace of mind, if and only if you drive safe. I would pray the guy survives and thankfully he was alone in the vehicle.

Excellent video which went from the most honest and informative first impressions to really set things straight about the safety bandwagon while thanking Vikas and Gagan that I have a great respect for. Hilarious too. I could feel the angst about the GNCAP ratings and I share the same. Brilliant closing line Shumi and the ones before that 👍 FYI, with the latest GNCAP rules you cannot get more than 2 stars unless you sponsor the pole, pedestrian and ESP tests. Not a very fair/unbiased position as it isn't mandatory in India so manufacturers who don't participate "voluntarily" cannot get more than 2 stars. Without even going into their fundings, we can, with 5-star safety, assume that they're not the holy-grail they project themselves to be. Not to worry, soon BNVSAP or its adaptation will come and every car can see the stars and some of us, the light of the day. Coming back to the Exter, I have to commend Hyundai's design and ambience. That uplifting feeling! Front design is impressive, rear seems a bit disconnected from the front in terms of design but probably they've saved it for the facelift. But every time a new Hyundai is launched, the competition starts looking old immediately. They've been doing it since the Santro and getting better, every time. +1 for the Ioniq 1.5.

Hey Shantanu, That was awesome to read. Will BNVSAP solve this problem of perception? What if deserving cars get star ratings higher than people's expectations? What happens then? :-) As for Hyundai design - something clever is cooking there! What did you think of the Santa Fe?

@shantanu_d 11 ай бұрын

@@motorinc - BNVSAP ratings won't solve the problem of perception but would settle the furore for good. Initially I expect a lot of noise when ratings start coming as a lot of us, without understanding the process(like they presently do) will start calling the ratings as a diluted/sarkari version and hold GNCAP on a higher pedestal. Because most of the latest gen Marutis will get good ratings which won't go down well with some. But as those 4/5 star stickers become visible on every car in the showrooms, it will educate some but more importantly shift the focus away from this topic. If it's visible everywhere, it's not that important, just like we don't have almost any public discussion over ABS which would've saved countless lives on our roads. - The Santa Fe, there's a reason Hyundai havn't shown the rear in any of the adverts :D Interesting? Yes. Elegant? No. I think its more for the western market which they're trying to break. Unless they pull-off something like a room at the back(the only explanation for that rear) they won't be able to break the glass ceiling. The previous versions haven't been able to do much in the private car space they're eyeing (I don't have data to back this but this is what I feel). If attention is what they're after, there's an Ioniq way to do things or even the Konical way.
