5 Reasons Why Hyundai Creta is a Better Buy than the Jeep Compass

Published: Friday, 12 October 2018 0:00 AM | By Maxabout News | 677 Views
Jeep Compass was nothing less than a revolution in premium compact cars in its initial days. The charm is fading away slowly, with more and more buyers considering the new Hyundai Creta for its value for money placement and list of features that are yet to arrive on the Jeep Compass. The engine performance of Compass is unmatched, to be very clear, but the gap in pricing fades away the results that are never explored on the Indian tarmac. Here are five reasons why Hyundai Creta is a better buy in comparison to the Jeep Compass:

1) The Pocket Burning Effect

The difference in price is explained clearly through the below-given table. The range for Creta starts at INR 9.50 lakh while Jeep Compass is more expensive than the top variant of Creta with its base version itself. The Compass comes with just 46mm of more wheelbase than the Creta.
 Variant Hyundai Creta Jeep Compass
Petrol Base MT INR 9.50 lakh INR 15.35 lakh
Petrol Top MT INR 13.66 lakh NA
Petrol Base AT NA NA
Petrol Top AT INR 13.54 lakh INR 21.42 lakh
Diesel Base MT INR 10 lakh INR 16.55 lakh
Diesel Top MT INR 15.10 lakh INR 21.08 lakh
Diesel Base AT INR 13.26 lakh NA

2) The Two Pedal Diesel Option

Hyundai Creta is available with an automatic gearbox in the diesel engine, leaving fans happy as they get no gear changing stress with still an impressive number in fuel economy. Jeep is yet to offer the diesel AT variant and even when it arrives, the pricing will cross the INR 22 lakh mark for the 4x2 and INR 24 lakh for the 4x4 variant.

3) Proportionate Design That Speaks for Itself

The design lines of Creta are so eye-friendly that finding a flaw is virtually impossible for every car fan. In fact, getting more than 10,000 buyers each month has made it more friendly than many deserving hatchbacks. The updated front grill and rear end feel like inseparable components of a single entity. On the other hand, Jeep Compass has the best ever front end for an SUV of this size but, lacks the charm on the rear end. It looks out of proportion and lifted from every rear angle.

4) Unique Features

Hyundai Creta may be priced much lower to the Compass variants but it offers futuristic features like Wireless Charger and Smart Key Band. Creta comes with a sunroof, which has also now been introduced in the Compass. The one is Jeep Compass is huge in comparison to the Creta’s sunroof. All other features stay similar between both cars.

5) The Hyundai Service Promise

Hyundai servicing and spare part prices are much lower than that of Jeep cars. Also, the availability of touch-points in every city makes the network stronger. The trust of buyers is higher in a brand with a more effective network. On an average, Hyundai Creta and Jeep Compass have a sales ratio of 10:1, which seems like a much bigger number than most automobile enthusiasts would have imagined.

Which one should I buy – Hyundai Creta 1.4 or Honda BR-V?
2022-12-29 06:10:33 AM
You should first consider the fact that Hyundai Creta is a five seater while the Honda BR-V is a seven seater. If you need those extra 2 seats, there is no choice for Hyundai Creta while if 5 seater is enough for your everyday needs, Creta can be considered with its better looks and SUV like stance. Honda BR-V, on the other side is more of an MPV and provides more practicality through its powerful diesel engine. Creta is best if bought with the 1.6 liter diesel motor and Honda BR-V is a better option when compared to the 1.4 liter diesel Creta.
