- The Exter is Hyundai's new micro SUV that goes up against the Tata Punch and the Citroen C3. Based on the Grand i10 Nios platform, this tall car offers a great blend of space and features that should make a it a good, if slightly boring, family car!

GeekXplained : Some numbers to cement some ideas we discussed in the First. Hope this helps.
1) The Exter looks taller than it feels:
Height: 1631mm vs 1615 for Punch. But it doesn't feel taller than the Tata.
Because, without roof rails the Exter's height is: a) 1598mm on 15” wheels b) 1585 for 14” wheels
Sure, the Punch also has roof rails but they are much lower.
2) Sluggish engine
Look at the max speeds in the first three gears:
1st - 48kmph,
2nd - 88kmph,
3rd - 132kmph.
Yes an indicated 132kmph in 3rd gear! No imagine accelerating in a gear - which explains why the engine feels dull - because it will rev up slowly.
3) Highway Gearing
Here are the engine rpms at 50kmph:
2nd - 3700rpm
3rd gear - 2400rpm (1300rpm lower)
4th gear - 1700rpm (1300rpm lower)
5th gear 50 1300rpm (400rpm lower)
So, for a given speed the 5th gear doesn’t rev much lower than the 4th gear. Hence fuel efficiency won’t be dramatically better when cruising on the highway.
Let me know what you think!
This is one car which should be scrapped as soon as it comes out of the factory...😒😒
The intentions are absolutely clear on this being a city car and the AMT should be the one to get.
@@UnShEeP924 why?
@@darktitan8085 personal perspective. That's all. It's feature rich, stylish and economic at least for some segment of buyers
@@SusanthCom Isn't Punch know for its trash of an Engine. Who the hell whould want sporty thingy in this range. They better go hatchbacks since these will have body rolls. But only having Punch and Exter in this segment, it is obvious its Exter. Only guys who get overhyped for safety pick Punch
The way Shumi asks at 11:59 if Hyundai offers 32 engines and 89 transmissions with a deadpan face is hilarious 😂
♥️🤣
You don't miss the videos , test rides , actual reviews listening to both of you. Such a pleasant , honest conversation no Jazz no unnecessary antics. You have an amazing team.
Thanks LP!for making MotorInc fam awesome!
Couldn't agree more.
Omg! So its not just the visual aesthetics and production quality that are amazing. Their parlance and conversation is equally engaging too. Very refined language and zero bullshit. I don't mind listening to all 42mins of this. Please do more of these! ❤
Thank you!

The best ever auto analysis without showing the car itself.
Talk about innovation and quality, Motorinc is the epitome of it.
KUDOS to the team🥰
Thank you, Sreejith! ❤️
One of the most engaging and apt First Drive/ Ride videos for our times. With all the pre launch and launch photos and videos we have already seen how the cars and bikes look. It is this what we want to listen to. It's also fun how Shumi brings in his own takes on cars. Thank you guys!!
Thank you Parvez!
Kartikeya got it right about the scooped up seats with Honda, I remember Brio being complimented for its intelligent use of space back in the day.
Awesome! Thanks for that!
I just found the Exter now and searched for it and am ecstatic to see my favourite auto journos discussing it and analyzing it so well
ngl the exter is something that is going to be a highly considered option under then 9L brancket for it's starting price because it appeals to the general customer quite a bit
💯
The quality of the reviews is several notches above what we generally find in this space. Well done guys.
Thank you, Subhrajyoti! We are happy to know that you like our work.
Lovely, lovely review. Used to prefer teambhp for car reviews because they have long articles that make you actually want to sit down and read with a coffee. You guys doing it with videos is just amazing. The short form content tends to miss out on a lot of technicalities as well as emotions. You covered it all and i thank you for it. As a car enthusiast, I thank you for keeping the enthusiasm alive in automotive journalism
Glad it was helpful! Thank you RC!
The more I’m watching your discussions, the more I’m getting a clarity on what “I” specifically want in my upcoming purchase rather than just take in what’s the best in the market. I generally want to drill down deeper like this when analysing a vehicle(be it for purchase pr just out of love) where I don’t have people with my somewhat decent level(at-least i think so) of technical & intricate exploration, in my circle. It’s those little nuances in your discussions that you mention which make you a completely different channel from what the typical car/bike channel does. Kudos to you guys for discussing things at finer details.
Awesome! Let’s keep the conversations going here too! We appreciate you taking time out to write in to us! It’s mega!
thoroughly enjoyed this conversation- facts , wit and wisdom ,never felt the 42 min video length .you guys rock :)
Dont waste your time watching any other video on the Exter out there. This duo did a fab job . Kinda like the Nolan category of reviews. The info balanced with the right amount of humour wow could hot have asked for more. Though a long video I never wanted to skip even for a sec. Great job guys. Thanks for keeping it honest. I know all I need to and am not going to watch another dam exter video as I wait for mine perhaps if u make one more on this car 😅
Thank you very much!
Driven Hyundai i20 Active for 2.75 lakh kms and exchanged it for Tiago NRG XZ in Nov 2022. TATA NRG is every bit comparable to i20 Active and than some more, saftey mileage and lower cost of ownership. In love with TATA now. 🤟
Thanks for sharing!
Interesting. How does the NRG stand against Punch?
I did extensive research and took multiple test rides with Punch Altroz and NRG from the Tata family. I did not like the overall feel of Punch. It was underpowered when compared to NRG. Also, the mileage figures of NRG are way superior to those of Punch thanks to its aerodynamic body compared to Punch's boxy shape.
Punch is good for mileage only if you drive really slowly and under 80 kmph. I needed a car for major highway usage and some offroad too for reaching work sites. And at speeds of 100-110 at NH44, NRG gives me 18-20 kmpl, tank to tank; at speeds of 80-85, it gives 22-24 kmpl; and in Nagpur city, I get 14-15 kmpl. In Punch, we just get a bit more mm's in boot and cabin space, with a 5-star safety rating and mini Harrier looks.
I do daily office travel on my TVS NTORQ scooter. Car is primarily for wife and family, so the features we get in top-end variants are very beneficial for a woman driver with a 2-year-old kid. A fully loaded NRG XZ made more sense to me than Punch's second variant at 8 lakh on the road.
Also, there is more glass area in Tiago NRG compared to Punch or Altroz. I am 6 ft tall, so I have no problem driving any car, but my wife and other family members are 5ft 5 inches or below, so NRG's wide glass area and seats with height adjustment helps there.
After 24000 km in the last 7 months and 4 services done, I am in love with the Tata Tiago NRG. No complaints with the car or TATA service.
@gouravsoni6349 Great to see the detail to which you tested and analyzed before the purchase decision 👍
Wish you many more happy miles!
I recently started following you guys. Super fresh presentation format, clear and succint language. Keep it going!
Awesome, thank you!
So somhow I always just start watching these FDIs thinking, "will just hear them out for 5 mins" and end up watching the whole damn thing. The conversation really hooks you up! Thanks guys!
Awesome! Thanks for listening Yusuf!
Again, first impression video of length 40+ min.. What a way to start a day 😍
Hope you enjoy it! Let us know what you think Aashish!
Shumi: "If you get armrests, your arms will be small & week!"
T-Rex: I took that personally!
Hahaha! Can imagine a t-shirt with a sad T-Rex on it. “I used armrests”
@@motorinc 😂😂😂 good idea!
What an amazing talk. Have never seen anything like this in 'this segment'. relaxed style, combined with a touch of humor and no bulshit talk. Very knowledgeable And interesting. refreshing! Loved it. Keep doing it.
That's an amazing conversation! Thank you for this!
In my opinion Hyundai has studied the indian market well by getting into the segments which normal user needs for a daily purpose but i would also like to see them bringing the global models such as i20N into our indian waters to test the scope of market
Oh, we'd love that as well.
This is great, you guys should do an episode on Fronxx. It's such a good design, coupe-ish. Cheers and love
Right up first - ❤️! And thanks for the recommendation!
I like the way you guys play a good cop and a bad cop. its just enormously entertaining at the same time informative and the choice of words are amazing. Kudos loved watching it.
Hullo AP! Always happy to hear from you! Thank you !
I remeber seeing a long haired guy's reviews on zigwheels (I think) a few years ago. Always appreciated the honest and valuable insights mixed with top class humor. Recently booked the facelift Seltos and started searching for reviews on CZcams. Watched a bunch of them but couldn't find anything by the long haired guy who's reviews I enjoyed in the past. Then got curious and found an old review for the XUV700. Searched by his name and found MotorInc. Happy to see him still doing his thing. Now waiting for his review of the facelift Seltos 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT before I sign the paperwork with Kia.
Hi. His name is Karthikeya Singhee. We will be putting together a review of the new Seltos soon.
People have to understand that a 5 star crash rated car isn’t gonna save them from all accidents, Even those cars would crumble if one drives rashly and ram into other vehicles. At the same time, there is not actually a driving discipline in our country, one can’t be sure that other drivers on the road will drive sanely. It’s good to have a car that performed well in crash test as that would give the feeling you got a pretty safe car under you. Kudos to Tata for making their cars safer.
Spot on!
This is such a half cooked argument. This implies that a 5 star is no better than a 3 star.
Which is just not the case.
There was recently a video where a boulder fell on a harrier and people walked out alive out of it. There was a case of an army truck driving over, yes, OVER an XUV 300 and the passengers were unharmed.
A 5 star rated car will DEFINITELY keep you safer in MORE situations than a 3 star. If you're refuting this basic statement, then i don't even understand.
@@AshishKulkarni7 gncap is biased. I wouldn't believe them if they said earth is round.
Driving discipline is must
@@aqib96 driving discipline doesn't save you from external dangers.
The Shumi Crash Test rant should be clipped. Legend
Noted!
Fantastic content, great production quality, extremely consumable and intelligent style of delivery. Liked. Subscribed. And probably the only other channel other than F9 I will have alerts turned on for.
Welcome aboard! Appreciate the shout out!
@Motorinc - I must say I do appreciate and like these automotive conversations.
Thank you very much!
Totally agree with the safety related points. We need safer roads for India, just safer cars won't do much. Even a person walking should feel safe crossing the road. Same for a person on a bike or in a car.
Let’s make it happen! Thanks for speaking up here.
and that depends on us ppl, but we are idiots who whine on youtube and then doing it properly on ground
I had constant smile while the conversation is going on, number of variants, head nod and crash test so many beautiful movements in this episode.
The video can be trimmed to actual car and other general topic and that second part becomes it’s own pod cast
Thanks so much SK! Good to hear from you as always.
Great video. I can watch another 1 hour of this discussion… only you guys can make this long video so interesting and informative…
Thanks so much for your time ! Especially to share your feedback! ❤️
Such a great curated video, love the videography, you guys are going places.
Please consider doing a video on dsg gearbox (pros/cons) and fuel additives.
Thanks so much for the appreciation and the recommendation!
Highly VFM Vehicle.. Top notch features, space, quality, fit and finish for a muscular hatchback 😅 Somehow I get a baby defender vibes from the front.. Even the safety suit looks promising.. The engine refinement is also unbeatable when compared to Punch.. Ride and handling is just fine.. Paired with Hyundai's superb network, service and reliability, this vehicle will surely give a tough fight to the Punch.. The pricing is just the cherry on the cake ❤ However, the only thing which isn't upto my taste is borrowing the interiors from Nios and Aura, they just look too cheap and quirky.. A different dashboard layout could do the job... Overall, a serious option for my family under 10 lakh 😊
Thanks for sharing your perspective DMV4! Good to see you in the comments as usual! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
I understand your point on crash test. My father wanted brezza but I got xuv300 for him primarily because of sheer driving experience and safety.Unfortunately it got with an accident on a highway with a truck.Both my parents were wearing seat belts and only my mother (co-driver) experienced mild shock and i can tell you with certainty that if it was a brezza like my parents wanted the results will be a heck of a lot different.
Firstly - glad to know your folks are safe. However, the Brezza was also a four star car. 🤷♂️
Oh my god, it’s almost like motorinc has lost it in terms of safety. they just want to look the other way.
No we're actually really glad his folks are safe! There's no two ways about it.
And the rest is just fact. You don't have to like it.
@@rohit-gupta you just want people to say...... Safety=. Mahindra and Tata.
Sorry not happening. Safety is preventing the crash in the first place. And most important part of that chain is - your driving behaviour.
What happens after the crash has already happened... Is one chapter of the book called 'car safety'.
You people forget the whole buquoet and focus on a single flower.
That last line about the Brezza from OP is just pure opinion. Nothing else. Either Brezza is a 4 star car and is safe. Or GNCAP is cap. And then stop whipping it up.
@@Drxyz-tk6le when other driver is stupid then crash test matters. I see people ramming parked vehicles or stopped vehicles all the time
0:38;
That's Gino D'Acampo, an Italian chef and the lady with him was Holly.
Love these conversations. Well rounded off, no BS and to the point. I would love to know your thoughts on the usage of high beams by bike and car owners who just don't understand how to use them and end up blinding oncoming people and don't even understand when we signal them to lower their headlamps.
Guys would love to know your view on Tiago nrg. I think it's an underrated car 🚗
Can do!
Would be great to hear you guys discuss and also review the IGNIS objectively and subjectively. Don't see many people talking about that car.
Thank AM for the recommendation! Will keep that in mind.
Yes, please..
Maruti themselves seem to have reservations against Ignis. It was bound to get Dual jet K12N this time (WagonR got it, Swift got it, Baleno came with it) but they stuck to the K12M (non dual jet). They'll either pull the plug on Ignis or maybe bring a major change (and not just a facelift)
@@vardanrathi7777 100% agree. I think it's one of the most value of money cars on the market and for MSL. I also think it's the only one apart from the Grand Vitara Hybrid to have a "button" to shuffle through the MID screens.. all other MSL cars have the 1980s Sticks on each side. Mainly I think this is because the Ignis and Grand Vitara are international models
the first 42 min review i have ever watched without skipping! covered all questions what one could ask
Glad you likes it!
Why I'm loving to watch u two talk abt cars n bikes is that it's like two friends with same interests hv conversations abt d same. Which I do so. This will never get bored. 👍
Thanks for joining into the conversation! 🙏🏾
35:55 Shumi being extremely brutal with the facts about crash test scores. 👍
No plan to pull punches, Neeraj. The safety conversation''s frequency is very good for us as a country and society. But the shallowness of the conversation means a clever organisation can use it to misinform and misdirect all too easily
extremely brutal doesn’t mean its true or backed by facts. Although safety rating are backed by numbers and facts.
I think we fuss over the star rating exactly because we know there are indisciplined drivers on the road. Us being disciplined is only half the story. The star rating is what gives you some semblance of confidence for the remaining half of the story. So this disdain for star rating conversation was quite disappointing. I had a close call last week due to someone coming head on in a one way when both of us were around 60 kmph. I could swerve out and avoid the exact 50 percent overlap we see in crash tests. What if i couldn't despite my best efforts? My wife was buckled in and my 17 month old was buckled in his car seat. Star rating conversation is not over rated. Not a Tata or Mahindra owner but a Honda Brio owner thinking of his next car.
Absolutely. But do most of the people discussing those stars know what the numbers and facts actually mean? 99% are surprised to know what _all_ Indian cars do pass a 55kmph test anyway to be approved for sale. Bharat NCAP should fix the data gap in result reporting shortly
Shumi's making a very simple point. If you are going to take safety ratings seriously, then learn what they mean. Star ratings are the most digested, easy for marketing form of understanding the crash test. Each continent offers a different logic for the stars. All of this slips under the radar when it comes to discussing star ratings. So first, people can read the stars, but not what that means for you as a driver in the real world.
Second. If you're interested, you should read the 2021 Accident report MoRTH published. Fatality rates are falling, total incidents are going up. As in we're buying more cars and having more crashes, but crashes as a percentage of cars bought is falling. And you'll see why we think skills are more important than just crash test ratings. Here's 4 data points:
1. 70% of accidents happens on straight roads
2. 50%+ are in open areas (not in city etc)
3. 50% of the drivers killed were not wearing seat belts
4. 67% of crashes happened on clear, sunny days.
5. 70% of the time, the cause was listed as overspending.
Sounds like a skill issue, no?
Was eagerly waiting for this video!
Thanks for waiting!
Oh.. These guys.. It's just an absolute delight to listen to them.. On you tube... On Spotify..
I'm purchasing nothing of this stuff.. Reviews are not really of any practical use of me..
But still.. There conversation is so engaging and so thorough... So intellectually stimulating.
I listen to them while painting.. Just to feel good and be able to work better.
Thanks for these videos. ✨
Less go, I cannot stomach this raised i10 Nios, but I like those "paddle shifters" for the AMT option. 😂 It has something for the sunroof lovers too.
@@solteiro9563yes, but, not the same segment.
@@solteiro9563spresso competes with kwid...
Why buy exter when you can go for magnite which is big and safer with better engine....
@@THUGPUTINi love the way magnite looks in black 🔥
🤣 Thanks for sharing your perspective Vikram!
@@solteiro9563 no
The question is - if given an option, would Karthikeya replace his (wife's) Ignis with the Exter or the Punch? 😊
We think not. He likes the Ignis for the superb K12. The C3’s engine is the best best in his books.
Loved this conversation. Great video.
This video is very special because of the detailed discussion on the Exter as well as on crash tests and other important aspects. And thank you Shumi & Singhee ji for making my day at 29:43.
🙌❤️ Glad you enjoyed it.
"The Exter. It should have been called the Inter" 😂
I'd say coz it's an intermediate. Between a car and an SUV.
Great point! 🤣
I'm super addicted to these podcasts. Simply brilliant.
Glad you like them!
26:42
Best explanation on why Maruti Suzuki engines are always fuel efficient. Never have I heard or thought about this before. Consider my mind BLOWN!
Glad you found MotorInc First useful!
I genuinely like this new format
Enjoyed it thoroughly! Love it.
The best conversation and review about Exter with superb coverage. Liked those humour elements. You guys are really good ! 👍
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🖖🏽
Loved the session, especially how they articulate their points and explain the technical parts….would love to see MotorInc make a video unravelling and explaining parts of an engine in depth….could be a new content vertical!
Thank you for the suggestion. We could look into that.
A well put together review once again! love these long form reviews, you guys seem to cover every aspect in detail and thats something i love to see! Thanks guys!
Thank you also for talking about that safety aspect of it in that much detail, the really tunnel visioned, extremely over-simplified, obnoxious argument regarding that has become an eyesore in the comments section of literally anything related to cars nowadays.
Thanks for sharing what you think DT! We all need to talk more! Thanks for kicking it off here n
Class deliberation. How beautifully everything has been explained with pure application. Both are excellent on the subject and good for customer. Kudos
Our pleasure! Thank you Pratap!
Best studio, lovely conversations keep it up guys.
Thank you for the shout out!
Great video guys ,loved you conversation straight to the point this video really helps who planning to buy Exter
Thank you so much for sharing that with us RT!
Schumi is talking like he's not even a bit of a car guy but I remember him reviewing cars on Overdrive
changed by mindset about crash test ratings and 2 wheeler safety. Great convo. :)
Thanks AJ! Glad we can help!
Great video as always. Lots to take away.
Appreciate it Rohit!
Absolutely nailed it, when you guys talked about the crash test. Whenever i see any car related videos there are people questioning about the ncap ratings and finally you guys answered what i had in mind. Yes #DrivingSkills and #DriveSafe is what that matters. Kudo's guys lovely presentation.
Sit back relax and think about it and review. Its so cool not running around the car and shouting out heart and reviewing car. this is very settled review. You guys keep surprising every vlog you make. Well done as usual.
Thank Kiran!
Way too good guys to have such long format videos, so that a customer can get more smaller details while considering a purchase.
Regarding the last statement that Shumi made. You're spot on as always. ❤️
I always wondered why everyone is so bragging about the global ncap. That's just a lab test done with so many criteria. 😮
Imagine if a car fails in lab criteria then how bad it would be in the real world.
As said in the real world it would act for more than 80 km/hr. So GNCAP is a good rating. It shows how the structure will be stable after a crash. 6 airbags is a myth, structural rigidity is way more important than Air bags.
@@VikasJaink in that case, why are not all cars that are sold in India are tested ?
GNCAP is not a global company as it feels. It's an organisation that does test cars for basically Indian & European markets.
Why is a Tata Harrier or Safari not being tested ?
They're also made of the same materials.
We cannot judge by the failure or the tests in tests in GNCAP, as Singhee was saying in this video, conditions for accidents do differ.
If you're colliding with something stronger/bigger/heavier than your vehicle, then your vehicle will have the higher damage & vice versa. With a car colliding into a stationary object at a speed of 55kmph with an offset angle, we cannot judge how that will impact a car running on the roads.
Also, there was a video made by Faisal Khan regarding the global ncap crash tests. Right now, I'm not able to get that. I'll tag it if I get that video.
That video was describing everything about how this company is working & how cars are being tested.
Structural rigidity ftw! Good driving manners are a good indicator of it.
Like the role swap !
🤜🏽🤛🏽
One of the finest discussions I've seen on CZcams! Wanted to know whether the front design of the Exter is brought from the Hyundai Santa FE, as they look much similar...
I think this is the finest car review video I have seen in a long long time
Thank you, Mayank!
So True, the Exter is made for family of four, with city and highway commutes. Also I did find its AMT working better than on Tata Punch or Maruti Suzuki Ignis. Hope they can get a good score in crash test.
Thanks for your assessment! Will be super helpful for others!
Absolutely stunning conversation. Honest, to the point and extremely sharp humour and pun. Ionic 2.5 no 1.5. Cheers guys.
Thanks a ton! We'll pass your compliments on to the team!
I totally agree. Its a great starting for a first car. Makes you believe in the brand and says my next car update will be another hyundai...
i m in love in this intro... i mean guilty truth.. i watched most of your first drives just for the into... i meant the discussion is top techie.. but the into song man... and dont get me wrong i am in love with your take on things ....
great point to point conversation loved it.

Excellent conversation. Lot to learn from this channel. From videos as well as from comments section 😃
Great work guys and team 🙌
Thank you Mandar!

Glad you liked it.
@@motorinclove the format of automotive product review ❤
It's like to mature friends/relatives having a sensible discussion about cars, keep it up folks @ #motorinc
Just a suggestion throw in a pinch of drive clips or photos and this recipe would come out tasty 😊
I've come around not liking the First Ride program.
I didn't like it when it was done in the first season of podcast.
Felt some vehicles got special attention.
But now in this new avatar, it feels natural. Feels right and what the audience deserve. Great job on turning this around.
Also the First Ride's intro theme music is so catchy! Great job on that too!
Thanks Dheeeeraj! Good to see you in the comments again!
Most enjoyable and informative conversation 👌🙌
Hullo JP! Thank you!
Its great to see the two legendary auto jouros together ( shumi n kartik) !! Huge fan here !! Do u guys have any Idea about the Honda Hornet 2.0 upgrade !!?? Has the bike been discontinued ?? Its the best bike in class but it got flopped unfortunately !!😥😥 plz reply if I should wait for it's update.
A detailed video on new brezza please. The automatic one. I know that it's an older vehicle now and you already have shorts on it but a detailed video is a detailed video 😊 in love with the content ❤
As soon as we can!
very interesting..... thanks for this conversation....

Dear MotorInc,
I had to watch hundreds of hours of exter review videos before buying our 1st family car to get the analysis of approx 30min which u did EXCELLENTLY here. Thanks alot! Loved it.
P.s.- please release your such in-depth analysis videos asap instead of 2weeks after other reviewers.😅😊
Subscribed!
Hullo GS! Thanks so much for taking time to write in! Means a lot !
Amazing channel. I just now subscribed to this channel. Which one to chose Baleno or Fronx ?
Love your content & delivery style.
How would u compare exter to a Baleno. Baleno Zeta AMT on road is under 10.5L. Looks like a super deal.
Your views?
High heeled hatch back 😄,and here are oem's saying micro suv for exter 😂.
I consider my XUV700 as a crossover. Shumi's sense of humor is excellent.
Execellent approach at selling automobiles, hat's off and well said Shumi- What manufacturer is offering the customer and how the vehicle will fit into their life style is a better strategy👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Never knew I needed a 40+ min video on a car I would never buy. Hyundai has nailed the pricing and this will sell like hotcakes for sure
Glad you watched it through and through, then Pranav! 😊
This format of Journalism is what I crave for. Kudos to them for raising the level.🔥🔥
Thank you! Glad you think so. ❤️
wow, not too long ago, I asked for a 1 hour podcast for Car review, thanks for making this video. I'm looking to get the Exter SX O Connect AMT, so before spending 12 Lakh, this is the kind of honest opinion I wanted to hear.
Glad we could help! Best of luck!
Excellent video which went from the most honest and informative first impressions to really set things straight about the safety bandwagon while thanking Vikas and Gagan that I have a great respect for. Hilarious too.
I could feel the angst about the GNCAP ratings and I share the same.
Brilliant closing line Shumi and the ones before that 👍
FYI, with the latest GNCAP rules you cannot get more than 2 stars unless you sponsor the pole, pedestrian and ESP tests. Not a very fair/unbiased position as it isn't mandatory in India so manufacturers who don't participate "voluntarily" cannot get more than 2 stars. Without even going into their fundings, we can, with 5-star safety, assume that they're not the holy-grail they project themselves to be.
Not to worry, soon BNVSAP or its adaptation will come and every car can see the stars and some of us, the light of the day.
Coming back to the Exter, I have to commend Hyundai's design and ambience. That uplifting feeling!
Front design is impressive, rear seems a bit disconnected from the front in terms of design but probably they've saved it for the facelift.
But every time a new Hyundai is launched, the competition starts looking old immediately. They've been doing it since the Santro and getting better, every time.
+1 for the Ioniq 1.5.
absolutely
Hey Shantanu, That was awesome to read. Will BNVSAP solve this problem of perception? What if deserving cars get star ratings higher than people's expectations? What happens then? :-) As for Hyundai design - something clever is cooking there! What did you think of the Santa Fe?
@@motorinc
- BNVSAP ratings won't solve the problem of perception but would settle the furore for good.
Initially I expect a lot of noise when ratings start coming as a lot of us, without understanding the process(like they presently do) will start calling the ratings as a diluted/sarkari version and hold GNCAP on a higher pedestal. Because most of the latest gen Marutis will get good ratings which won't go down well with some. But as those 4/5 star stickers become visible on every car in the showrooms, it will educate some but more importantly shift the focus away from this topic. If it's visible everywhere, it's not that important, just like we don't have almost any public discussion over ABS which would've saved countless lives on our roads.
- The Santa Fe, there's a reason Hyundai havn't shown the rear in any of the adverts :D Interesting? Yes. Elegant? No.
I think its more for the western market which they're trying to break. Unless they pull-off something like a room at the back(the only explanation for that rear) they won't be able to break the glass ceiling. The previous versions haven't been able to do much in the private car space they're eyeing (I don't have data to back this but this is what I feel).
If attention is what they're after, there's an Ioniq way to do things or even the Konical way.
Great discussion ...!!! Learned lot about exter than from other videos it happens to be my 1st car soon..
Did you book it ?
@@edwiniyer6997 yes n got it too!!
your content quality is next level
Glad you enjoy it!
Booked an Exter today after watching this episode.
Congratulations SK! Wish you great travels with it. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Now the Verna has 5 star, it is released today itself. Irony is I saw an unfortunate accident today of the Verna today itself, car was crushed. Not even sure the driver survived or not, they took to hospital and all. All air cushions were out. And what people said was bad driving, he slammed the car into a standing truck at like 110. So what I means 5 star may be a peace of mind, if and only if you drive safe. I would pray the guy survives and thankfully he was alone in the vehicle.
It is sad that people take 5 star ratings for granted and think that it makes them immortal. Safe, sensible driving is what ultimately matters and saves one from accidents.
I enjoyed shumi sir's sarcasm alot😂
😆♥️
Amazing discussion regarding the first drive.
Please do a discussion on Bolero as well.
And ladder frame SUVs vs monocoque SUVs
Thanks, Kaushik! Great suggestion. We could make a video on that topic.
Although I like the Podcast style format for the First Impressions video, I feel that Car topics should be discussed by both who have driven that particular vehicle. Then it become a conversational discussion rather than a QnA.
I liked the Super Meteor episode where Shumi had ridden it, but karthik brought his own motorcycling experience and was spot on to point out specific details even though he had not ridden it.
Nothing against Shumi, but he's not a Car guy, which shows in his line of questions and remarks.
Riders with Riders, and Drivers with Drivers. :)
24:49 I agree! Same with the touch screen infotainment. Drivers will not focus to drive properly, I have myself given a mouthful to a couple of newbie drivers who nearly made me fall off my bike since they got too close playing with their screens. Man…if shumi is being the sarcastic one with the deadpan face, the sassy yet smooth Kartikeya is beginning to grow over me 😂the head nodding portion was awesome both of them! Great review
Hello OTR! Glad to know you are enjoying this!
