Will hyundai venue result in the sales drop of creta?

To be honest, at the start itself, Hyundai has priced Creta very aggressively but apart from that, there were some problems in Creta which I feel will be sorted out by his brother venue in his segment and pricing.




1.Price: Creta being the most sold and also loved SUV in India and Hyundai has impressed many of the customers with its design, styling and also features they offered in it. But when it came to the pricing dept. they have done some changes which resulted in hesitation for going towards it. It's a superb SUV and I don't say anything about it, but the price tag for it is too costly and if Hyundai has to take on the segment of sub-compact SUV space then it has to bring some wow factors and also some industry first's which they are going to provide in future. Starting from 9-15 lakhs price bracket among wich the base variant is never a good option to buy and there will be a heavy omission of features, we need to consider at least S variant or SX for sure which results in high cost, the venue is like a car which will replace that problem. Due to this, the customers who try to buy a Creta are unable to buy it will definitely look towards the venue and it will take charge of the sales of Creta from then.
2.Features and Variants: This is the place where Hyundai must be very careful else their sales may drop or customer satisfaction will never be achieved and I will tell the reason why! consider Verna, Creta and also Tuscon for real and I will explain each of them in a simple manner.
(A)Verna: In verna, there is an SX(O) variant in petrol but not in diesel and instead they have replaced it with sx+ for auto and SX(O) in the manual which it will also miss out on some features. What I want to ask is why there is no fully loaded variant with all the features in diesel on both manual and auto gearboxes?
(B)Creta: It's a great hit in sales and desirability, but not in features arrangement for every variant and this resulted in the same as we discussed before like omission of ventilated seats at the front, wireless charging, smart tailgate which are in Verna but not in Creta. Don't know why but there is this kind of problems with it.
(C)Tuscon: Tuscon also has some omissions like the panoramic sunroof, TPMS, Ventilated seats, lane warning and all. It costs 30 lakhs but apart from the lane departure warning the rest could be offered but not and no proper for that.
3. What is the solution: If at all they want to conquer the compact segment in India, they must price venue properly and not aggressively because due to that aggressive pricing there is some lack of customer contentment in the previous vehicles and I hope it will change from now at least.
   The One more major thing they have to take care of is the distribution of features properly from the low end to high-end variants and they must provide a fully-loaded variant in the top end, else again the lack of customer satisfaction will follow up and feels not incomplete.

Renault Duster! It had its chance.

Welcome to CarsReboot!  There are many people who love Duster for its proportions, ride quality and also the sense of space it has inside it but now it has lost its charm to some extent with its other rivals and it fell into the category of only petrol with no AWD but it still has its chance to become a bigger player if Renault could do some key changes in it. 1. Engine: The 1.5lit was a very good one but now the company has shut it due to the upcoming BS6 regulations and it now replaces both the 1.5lit Diesel and petrol with a 1.3lit petrol engine which is BS6 compliant and the power figures have changed a bit. If they really needed some strong sales then introducing a 1.5lit BS6 compliant diesel and petrol engines with auto gearboxes in both fuel options would have made it a strong seller for Renault. 2. Interiors: Many might have felt this but I intended to stress about this particular one because the interiors in Duster were not that appealing and the reason is...

Kia Seltos Vs MG Hector VsTata Harrier Vs Hyundai Creta

Now that Kia Seltos is unveiled and the design, features it is going to offer and also the major part i.e, the engine and transmission options are going to wow the customers for sure. How they are gonna price it and the variants line up is gonna create more curiosity than anything. It doesn't look butchy like Harrier and sophisticated like Creta but it is modern, futuristic yet the way it is designed in terms of interiors and exteriors are very fresh to look at and also many of the features were segmented first like the new connectivity features and they named it UVO and those features are more or less the same when you look at Venue  from Hyundai. But we are here to make a comparison on which one will create the benchmark in the segment and also in sales numbers for now by comparing its rivals. 1.Rivals: The Rivals are Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta, MG Hector. 2.Engines: Here among the bunch MG Hector and Tata Harrier are powered by the same 2.0 lit multi-jet engine from...

Kia seltos! The Technological Marvel!

Kia Seltos! The Name might not be that flashy back then but now its the segment best seller and for an SUV that looks very stylish inside and out needs a bit more explanation on what it has and what it offers as well.  Kia Seltos is the first vehicle that was launched in India and one must obey that the adds they were showing in recent times on stunning Kia designs are very true and if anyone doesn't obey it then they must look at the Kia Seltos.                       1.Design: I thought about engines but the design caught my eye. The Tiger nose grille at the front does look futuristic, stylish and the chrome treatment is in the right manner, the 17-inch alloys look good on this and also the roof rails are bigger and create more stance to the vehicle. The All LED lighting will help Kia in many ways because of the way they are adapting to their futuristic ideas and the vertical DRL's are unique in style and more ...
