However, that little compromise is a big one: performance. The Grand Vitara offers a lot to Indian families with very little compromise. Which is the best car, Maruti Grand Vitara or Hyundai Creta?īoth cars are good in their own forte. Overall though, with this new spacious, quiet and comfortable cabin, you get a feeling that the Creta has grown up quite a lot. The one complaint we have, and it’s a small one, is that there is some movement over smaller undulations at highway speeds that sees some side-to-side movement creep into the cabin. The steering is a little on the slow side but the weight is a big improvement from the light and lifeless wheel feel that we are accustomed to from the brand. There is some body roll but it’s very predictable and doesn’t unsettle the car through faster corners. Handling has also seen an improvement with the new Creta staying flatter through corners and turning into them nicely too. The cabin insulation has also improved a lot and does an excellent job at keeping road and wind noise out of the experience. In the city, over speed breakers and bigger bumps, the suspension soaks up the impacts in a quiet and unflustered fashion. The Creta has a more sophisticated feeling to it now and the ride is more comfortable and polished than before. It does get one more speaker to the Bose sound system, paddle shifters on the petrol automatic and an electronic parking brake over it’s cousin. Like a head’s up display, reach adjust for the steering rack, center headrest in the rear, 360° camera, front parking sensors and colour adjust for the ambient lighting. Hyundai have strangely given a miss to some features that the Kia Seltos, which is based on the same platform gets. Not a drastic problem but a quirk that you’ll have to get used to as an owner. The first stage is very soft and you can hardly feel it, in fact, you could end up opening the whole roof when you don’t intend to, like when you’re cruising down the highway. There is a two-stage button that either opens just the sunshade in the first stage or the shade as well as the roof when pressed fully. But we have some complaints about the way the control button functions. It does a great job of giving the cabin a very spacious vibe, especially in the lighter two-tone interiors of the diesel. The pop of colour will bring new energy into the space and can serve as a good accent for layering other colours and textures.That brings us to another standout feature in the cabin: the new panoramic sunroof. Opt for a playful look by painting your skirting in a vibrant pastel tone like lilac for a fun yet visually pleasing aesthetic. 'Colourful skirting boards draw your eye to the floor, giving a new perspective on a room and helping it appear taller. You might also find yourself having to touch them up occasionally or give them a refresh every now and then.’Įmma Bestley, co-founder of paint company, YesColours, encourages experimentation with skirting boards. ‘If you want to paint your skirting boards the same colour as your walls, so they seamlessly blend in together, then you can use the same paint however, be mindful that you’ll need to prep your skirting boards well to achieve a flawless finish with your paint. ‘When it comes to painting your skirting boards, most paints will actually work – as long as you’ve prepped your woodwork beforehand,’ says Natalie White at tradespeople-finding site Rated People. Especially if you’re going for a tonal, monochrome skirting board colour idea rather than the traditional white. The first question you might ask when choosing your skirting board paint is whether you can use the same paint you used for painting your walls. (Image credit: Future PLC/Dominic Blackmore)
