Is the sporty suspension of the Creta N Line, which is aimed at the Indian roads, too stiff?
The Creta N Line has a stiffer suspension setup than the standard car in a bid to provide better handling, cut out some of the body roll. But this change has raised questions about its suitability for Indian roads which are known for potholes, speed breakers and uneven surfaces. The debate among enthusiasts is endless about whether the sportier tuning maintains just the right balance between improved dynamics and everyday comfort. There are those who say that the stiffer ride is a price worth paying for improved handling, while others fret that it might be too hard for common Indian roads. That conversation often continues to how the N Line behaves on a long highway drive versus a city commute, and if the suspension setup is flexible enough to work on different roads without sacrificing the passenger comfort.
It is definitely firmer, but in no way uncomfortably so. You feel more of the road but it's not jarring. Hyundai I think struck a good balance for our roads.
It's a bit too stiff honestly. It’s great for smooth highways, not so great for the average city road. If they only had an adjustable suspension option.
The difference is noticeable but not drastic if you come from a regular Creta. The downside in cornering stability is worth it, and it handles bad roads better than I expected.
I worried about that too, but after a few months of ownership I've adjusted. The standard Creta is not as plush, but it's not uncomfortable by far.
That depends on what your priorities are. It's really good if you like handling and don't mind feeling more of the road. If you want to be isolated completely from the road, then the regular Creta is your best bet.
