e Vitara: Generally positiveCreta Electric: Generally negative

e Vitara: “इंटीरियर देखोगे ना बहुत ही प्यारा है, जो मटेरियल्स को सेट किया गया है, कलर्स, टेक्सचर बहुत प्यारा है...बिल्कुल भी Maruti लाइक इंटीरियर नहीं था, वाऊ Maruti हैज़ फाइनली डन सम गुड — स्पेशली विद देर बेस मॉडल”

Creta Electric: “the seats, I mean, of course they look nice, bright. It's just that they are very difficult to maintain. They turn brown. They get stains very easily... we've been having to scrub them and keep them clean quite often”

Electrical reliability

e Vitara: Generally negativeCreta Electric: Strongly negative

e Vitara: “ഒരു ചെറിയൊരു ഇഷ്യൂ വന്നത് ആപ്പിൾ പ്ലേ കണക്ട് ചെയ്ത സമയത്ത് ഒന്ന് രണ്ടു പ്രാവശ്യം ഡിസ്കണക്ഷൻ വന്നു, ഷോറൂമിൽ കൊണ്ടുപോയി അപ്ഗ്രേഡ് ചെയ്തു, ഇപ്പോ കിട്ടുന്നില്ല”

Creta Electric: “the front parking sensor... when the car was at a standstill without anyone or any object close to the bumper, the parking sensors just triggered... there was absolutely nothing. It must be a one-off”

Driving position

Creta Electric: Strongly positivee Vitara: Strongly negative

Creta Electric: “the steering design is excellent... the bottom is completely flat-finished... if it were round from here, I'd have trouble driving in a straight line with my foot in position”

e Vitara: “ये जो स्टीयरिंग है ना कुछ लोगों ने बोला है कि ना ये घुटनों में ना कई बार अड़ता है, जो नीज़ता है वो कम है इसमें...टिल्ट टेलिस्कोपिक दोनों है तो...थोड़ा सा और हाइट मिल जाती है”

Seat comfort

Creta Electric: Generally positivee Vitara: Strongly negative

Creta Electric: “when I took that Goa road trip, I sat in the rear seat for the entire journey on one leg. And honestly, it wasn't uncomfortable for me... the slightly firm cushioning keeps you comfortable on long road trips”

e Vitara: “जो अंडर थाई सपोर्ट है वो अभी भी नहीं है...लॉन्ग जर्नी के लिए मैं इसको सजेस्ट नहीं करूंगा...सीट्स का जो ओवरऑल स्ट्रक्चर में वो छोटी लगती है, अंडरथाई पीछे भी नहीं है और आगे भी नहीं है”

Claimed vs real mileage

Creta Electric: Strongly positivee Vitara: Generally negative

Creta Electric: “85-90 ke around chalata hoon toh ye 450 ke aaram se de deti hai. Company 473-74 hi claim karti hai... 500 bhi nikali hui hai... jo bhi EV log kehte hain ki company itna bolti hai nahi deti range toh de deti hai”

e Vitara: “कंपनी कह रही है कि 543 km की रेंज आपको दे देगी...अब जब मैं इसको चार्ज करता हूं तो ये रेंज 488 और 490 के आसपास दिखाता है (पहले सिर्फ 350 तक दिखाता था)”

Touchscreen responsiveness

Creta Electric: Strongly positivee Vitara: Mixed reviews
