Recently Asked User Questions

Q. What is the difference between SX(O) and SX model in Creta?
  • There are actually many differences between SX(O) and SX1). Dual tone Diamond-Cut alloy wheels in SX(O) vs Single tone Machine-Cut alloy wheels in SX 2). Bose 8 speaker set up with badging in SX(O) vs Regular 4 speaker set up in SX 3). Leather Upholstery in SX(O) vs Fabric Upholstery in SX 4). Ventilated front seats in SX(O) vs Regular seats in SX 5). Electrically adjustable driver seat in SX(O) vs Manually adjustable driver seat in SX 6). 7” Digital Speedometer (with 3 different colours for different drive modes only in automatic variants) in SX(O) vs Regular analogue dials in SX 7). Air purifier in all variants of SX(O) vs Air purifier only in Automatic variants of SX( Manual variants don’t have an Air purifier) 8). Electronic Parking Break with Auto-Hold function in all SX(O) variants vs Electronic Parking Break with Auto-Hold function only in automatic variants of SX( Manual variants come with a regular hand break) 9). Remote Engine Start to cool the cabin before you get in is available in SX(O) variants, Remote Engine Start to cool the cabin before you get in only available in Automatic variants of SX, that too with the bluelink app only(Manual variants don’t get this feature). In Automatic trims of SX you already be getting a lot of goodies that you’ll be getting in the top of the line SX(O) variant, so I’d say go for the SX if you’re option for the Automatic trims. But if you’re opting for the manual trim, then you should make a decision according to your budget because you’ll be getting a total of 9 things in SX(O) over the SX.
  • You get diamond alloy cut stylish wheels, digital air purifier, bose audio system, ventilated front seats in the SX O and you get normal silver alloy wheels, normal air purifier, Hyundai (Arkamis)audio system and fabric front seats in SX.
  • ALL diffs cant be mentioned here there are many of them . Basically its cost diff you see o verity is loaded

Q. What is the difference between Creta Kappa and Seltos smartstream engines?
  • The smartstream engine will be equipped with the Continuously Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology. CVVD enables the engine to switch seamlessly between different combustion cycles depending on load, maximizing efficiency in all driving situations. The Smartstream engine produces the same power as the Kappa engine line – 100 ps or 120 ps – but enables 16% higher peak torque output for 120 ps variants (200 Nm).
  • Yes
Q. Which variant of Creta is good in petrol SX(O) or SX Turbo?
  • Sx turbo any day 😃😃😃. you will love 1.4 petrol dct sx turbo creta , Non turbo sx O have minor cosmetic benefits . but looses big time on engine.
  • SX(O) for sure in IVT, more value for money and the power delivery is very linear, I have SX IVT and it never feels underpowered
  • Sx(o) turbo is available with only three colours( lava orange, white, dual tone white). sx turbo is available in all colours

  • I purchased Creta SX Diesel Manual before 2 months and had driven 6000 kms. I have driven the car both inside city and in highway. Car has been pretty amazing. Comfort, style and safety has been top notch. My total avg mileage has been around 20.6 kmpl. my top speed in the car is 190 kmph and felt amazing stability and very minimal vibration. Doors and body of the car is very steady and you can feel it when you drive. Overall it has been an amazing experiance.
