2020 Hyundai Creta Vs Kia Seltos! Which is better?

Hyundai has recently revealed the new 2020 Creta in the market and also they've let people from AutoMobile Channels have a look at its interiors, space and let them use the infotainment system and others as well.
Apart from this, today I am gonna go through some major aspects which one must consider before going for Creta and why should they go for Seltos as well.




1.Engines: Be it Creta or Seltos, they both are now having the same 1.5lit Diesel/Petrol and a 1.4lit TGDi Petrol engine which is the top performer of all and if anyone has experienced the Seltos, then its more or less the same because when they come to Hyundai's hand what they'd do is to refine the driving experience even more by throwing out all the noise which creeps inside the cabin and apart from that there's nothing new here. So, Engines are the same and we must go to some other aspect which would make a difference rather than things like Engine and all.


2.Design: This is the one big aspect which would make some difference and also clears some air to choose which one in terms of design. Truth to be told that Kia Seltos looks way more cleaner with its cuts and creases than Creta which seems a bit overdone in the design department because the C-pillar isn't that flashy and also the alloys could have been better because this is the first time I'm discussing about alloys being cluttered in design because until now Hyundai's vehicles were having very sporty looking or at least they were having the designs of alloys which would suit the vehicle but when it comes to 2020 Creta it seems a bit cluttered.


Seltos, with its simple, clean design and also the cuts on it provide us with a better appeal and also it is a better looker than Creta in the rear angle and also sidewards because Creta despite having too many things going in its favor is losing some things like the sharpness in design as compared to previous. We've seen its design now and also the unnecessary overdone elements like Alloys, the rear end looks good but not that flashy or appealing in my opinion but I would leave it to one's personal preference.


3.Interiors: This is one more aspect which is important in terms of a vehicle because this is the place where most of the customers spend their time in and also this should look sporty, spacious, futuristic and also tech-filled one and in here Hyundai seems to have won this one because the Horizontal infotainment system in the Creta is way more responsive, way more elegant in its overall appeal as well and it also has so many features like Android Auto, Apple Carplay, TPMS, Digital Instrumentation cluster for the Top end and also powered driver seat, smart Air Purifier, ventilated seats, 3-step reclining rear seat, good boot space, and a huge panoramic sunroof as well. The Main difference of features in both of these vehicles are very minimal and also the major differences are in the way they look, the way they drive because Hyundai must have tuned the vehicle to be even more silent, even sportier sounding than Seltos is what we're expecting and we must wait till they let us drive and the packages which Hyundai offer for its range of customers is another big difference between them.




4. Price: Whatever or however the vehicle be, we can only get it by paying what the company demands and as of now we know the prices of Seltos and they've also increased an amount of 35k on it which is known to everyone and the Creta is surely going to bSeltos which is expected but if they could price it in the right range then it could lead the segment in its favor. I think if they could price it in a range of 10-16.5 Lakhs means it would be able to survive because being BS-6 companies do demand a high price tag and Creta is nothing different but let us see what happens.
So, Which one should you choose now? Instead of pouring out my opinion I would like to tell you guys one which basis you should choose so that it will be easy for you guys to pick one among them.
Kia Seltos :
Pros: 
1. Design is extra-ordinary and it looks sharp, sporty and also very upmarket and very futuristic as well.
2. Its engines are BS6 and are very refined as well being fuel-efficient at the same time.
3. Interiors are packed with a mouth full of features which are not at all going to be expected and most of them are going to be very useful and a 360° camera with a live video while taking turns or lane change is a very new one and also the Bose Audio system is smashing clear in its response and also there's a new heads-up display in it which is not present in Creta.


Cons:
1.Only 2 airbags in the top end manual variant and if you want 6-Airbags then you must go for the Auto-gearbox variant.
2. The Space is good in it but when it comes to the rear seats, its a bit squeeze for 3 full-size adults but you can fit 3 medium-sized ones without a fuss.
3. The List of its variants is huge and you must take some time to filter it out before buying one.
4. With just 2 vehicles in its list(Seltos and Carnival), Kia needs some more time and more vehicles to give its customers an experience of what it is which means it is not yet an established player even though it has got some solid sales figures and I'm talking about the ownership of a Kia and its maintenance, long term reviews, reliability and all but its not gonna take much time as well.

Hyundai Creta 2020 : 
Pros: 
1. Design is very fresh with many new elements at the front and rear of the vehicle.
2. Features are loaded to its gills and the interiors are very nice and give a plush feel when sat inside.
3. Rear seats having a 3-step reclining function with a smart air purifier is very good and it also comes with an all-new Instrumentation cluster which has much info in it.



Cons:
1. Hyundai has totally changed the Creta in its looks, features and design perspective as well which means its gonna cost us a whole lot more than we expect it to be.
2. Again and again, I'm stressing about the point of a fully-loaded variant in both diesel and petrol are not yet confirmed or at least given a glimpse which means its again going to be the same story.
3. The Design of the alloys is very confusing.
4. A Hands-free tailgate would be appreciated after all its an all-new vehicle and they could have incorporated because its a new version overall and also they could have made it as a special feature but its ok.

Verdict: After looking at each and every aspect of these two vehicles I can conclude that Kia Seltos is going to cost you more than Creta but the features offered in it are more or less the same kind of features we have seen in the Seltos. But, if you want an all-new Hyundai's Creta with most features of Seltos being modified in it with a reasonable amount of change on how they look and feel and also a huge scale of design changes means go for Hyundai Creta and also prices were revealed and Creta is 15k less than the top end variant of Kia Seltos and I think going for Creta will be better if you don't want to believe a new maker like Kia or if you want to stick with Hyundai for long with its predictable service and maintenance costs and all. 
The Real winner in looks, design and in variants is undoubtedly the Kia Seltos and the reason is that Creta did cut the manual variant with fully loaded variant in 1.4lit 7-DCT while Kia despite being costly also it offers as many features as possible in every variants it has.

Hello and Welcome to CarsReboot! Today we're gonna discuss the all-new production-ready Kia Sonet and here's everything you need to know about it.                        Kia Motors India has unveiled the all-new Kia Sonet on 7 Aug 2020 and here are the details about it. Let us start with each and every aspect of it in detail.                           1. Design: Kia has already showcased the Sonet i.e, the sub-4 metre SUV in the auto expo and they've done a fantastic job by bringing most of the prototype design elements into the real world design.                            Starting with the front, this one looks angrier with that red accents on the grille and the elephant tusk-like DRL's look wild as they've mentioned as its caption. The LEDs look nice and below, there are some sporty elements like the folded type of chrome finish and also the bonnet is set high as well.                           Coming to the sides, its more like a crossover than SUV like because

2020 Hyundai I20 Vs Tata Altroz! Which is better?

Tata Altroz:  Tata has launched their gold standard vehicle the Altroz recently and also they've priced it very effectively keeping the costs they've to handle with the new BS-6 engines and also offered many good features like dual horn, ambient lighting, part digital and part analog cluster, comfortable rear seats, 90°opening doors and also for the first time a cruise control, steering mounted controls and many more like this. What Tata Motors offer uniquely for this particular vehicle of theirs is the modification packs for the car and you can customize it with the packs they offer us. This is a very unique thing and also the Harman  powered audio system sounds very nice and clear. The Drive modes are restricted to 2 this time which are City and Eco and as the name suggests the City is for sporty driving while Eco is for better fuel economy figures. Having  the 1.5lit engines Diesel and 1.2 Petrol which are meeting the BS-6 norms were detuned and also they'r

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 tha
