Why is this the case? Why do Creta drivers get such a bad reputation on Indian roads?
02 January 2025 07:26
It's more about the Creta buyers' demographic, I think. Most of the time it’s younger professionals or first time SUV buyers who probably went a little crazy with their new ride. They'll mellow out, give them time.

But as a Creta owner, I hate this stereotype. I always drive carefully and always follow rules. We shouldn’t be labelled all of us for a few bad drivers.

The car is popular and thus its reputation. With so many Cretas on the road, you’re bound to see more bad driving. It’s not about the car, it’s about driver education in general.
Does the Aura’s ride quality make it suitable for Indian roads?
02 January 2025 07:24
I’ve put my Aura well over 30,000 km over a range of road conditions and ride quality is pretty impressive. Most potholes and bumps are handled without too much fuss. Of course it's not plush like larger sedans, but among its peers it manages to do a good job of hiding passengers from road imperfections.

Fact is, the Aura’s ride quality isn’t anything to write home about. On smooth roads it's fine, but hit a bad patch and you'll feel every bump. In corners it rolls too much body roll for the suspension which feels too soft. It is not a good buy if you are looking for a car that will do well in varying Indian road conditions.

If you're somebody who is frequently found behind the wheel in both city streets and highways, then you'll appreciate the fit the Aura wears in between the two. The chair is comfortable enough for daily commutes and doesn’t feel too floaty on highways. It’s not perfect, but if you’re looking for a good price, it’s a good balance.

It’s all down to which variant you choose as to how the ride quality is. As I have the top end model with 15 inch alloys, it handles much better than the base model with smaller wheels. It's surprisingly composed on bad roads. It's not luxury car smooth, but far above average for its class.

I believe people are expecting too much out of a compact sedan. Ride quality with the Aura is just fine for what it is. Four adults fit comfortably in it, it handles speed breakers well and doesn't bottom out on bad roads like some of its competitors. At the price, it's a good package.

The ride quality is a huge step up if you've moved from a hatchback to the Aura. On the highway it feels more planted, and it absorbs city road imperfections well. But on really bad roads you do feel the limitations of the compact sedan setup.

It's decent, but not quirk free. At low speed it's pretty comfy, but when you go faster, particularly on rough roads there can be a little bit of unsettledness. Not a deal breaker, but if you have a lot of highway driving then keep that in mind.
What does the BYD eMAX 7's success mean for the electrification of the Indian MPV segment?
02 January 2025 06:29
The eMAX 7 will certainly light a fire under the competition if it takes off. Maruti and Toyota will now try to bring out their electric MPVs earlier. That could be the push the segment needs to go electric.
What does the BYD eMAX 7's success mean for the electrification of the Indian MPV segment?
02 January 2025 06:29
I'm skeptical. It’s not like one premium EV is going to completely change the whole segment. The majority of MPV buyers seek for affordable and reliable family cars. Till the time, there is no electric MPV that can match the Ertiga on price, mass electrification will not happen.
What does the BYD eMAX 7's success mean for the electrification of the Indian MPV segment?
02 January 2025 06:29
It's going to be a slow burn. Early adopters will love the eMAX 7, but it will be a while before the technology trickles down into more affordable models. At the moment I think we're still 5-7 years from mainstream electric MPVs.
What does the BYD eMAX 7's success mean for the electrification of the Indian MPV segment?
02 January 2025 06:29
No matter if it's a success or failure the eMAX 7 will be a source of important data on how Indian families use electric MPVs. It will be vital information for other manufacturers to build their own models. It's a necessary first step.
What does the BYD eMAX 7's success mean for the electrification of the Indian MPV segment?
02 January 2025 06:29
I believe it will have first a bigger impact on the premium MPV segment. Kia and Hyundai may speed up their plans for electric Carnival and Alcazar models. It will take longer to electrify the mass market stuff.
Is the BYD eMAX 7 a game changer for the Indian MPV market?
02 January 2025 06:29
Absolutely! This is exactly what the Indian MPV market needs. It's bringing electric tech to a segment which has been stuck in the ICE age for so long. That 530 km range is a game changer for families looking to travel long distances without having to worry about charging.
Is the BYD eMAX 7 a game changer for the Indian MPV market?
02 January 2025 06:29
Game-changer? More like a niche player. Yes, it’s got some fancy tech, but at that price point, it’s not going to unseat the Innova anytime soon. While rotating touchscreens may be the latest thing on the market, most MPV buyers are in the market for reliability and low running costs.
Is the BYD eMAX 7 a game changer for the Indian MPV market?
02 January 2025 06:29
It's too early to call it a game changer, I think. On paper, the eMAX 7 looks promising, but BYD is still an unknown entity in India. Before they can make a real dent in the market, they will need to prove their after sales support and long term reliability.
Is the BYD eMAX 7 a game changer for the Indian MPV market?
02 January 2025 06:29
I’m an EV enthusiast and I’m excited about the eMAX 7. Electric vehicles can work in all segments, it's showing. But I am concerned about charging infrastructure for long trips, which is important for MPV users.
Is the BYD eMAX 7 a game changer for the Indian MPV market?
02 January 2025 06:29
But let's be real, the eMAX 7 is less of a practical family car and more of a tech showcase right now. It’s cool, but it’s not going to revolutionize the MPV market until it’s as cheap as an MPV and as easy to charge as refueling.
