2020 Hyundai Creta Wants To Be A Range Rover – Modified By Owner

2020 Hyundai Creta Wants To Be A Range Rover – Modified By Owner

2020 Hyundai Creta Modified

2020 Hyundai Creta is the best selling SUV in India; making it a very common sight on our roads

Since its launch, the new 2020 Hyundai Creta has been a fan favourite for customers who like to modify their cars. The second generation Creta was launched earlier this year and customers have already started modifying their new prized possessions. While some car mods are tasteful, some aren’t too pleasing to the eyes.

YouTube channel, Technical Bhopal, has uploaded an interesting car mod of the 2020 Hyundai Creta. The car happens to be a base model of the 2020 Hyundai Creta but has been modified to look like a wannabe Land Rover Range Rover.

2020 Hyundai Creta Inspired By Range Rover

While the mod job looks tacky as it has been done to make the Creta look like a Range Rover. However, if we were to look at the modification alone, it does have some praise worthy elements.

The car has been draped around in dark grey matte wrap which does make it look a little different compared to the standard SUV. At front, the owner has installed a new aftermarket grille to make it look like a Range Rover.

Old fog lamps have been replaced by new aftermarket LED units. Headlamps haven’t been modified though and have been kept in the stock form. The modifiers have also installed a camera at the front which is most probably part of the 360 degree degree camera set-up. 

On the sides, the modifiers have installed new 18-inch alloy wheels which come along with Land Rover logos. Multi colour vinyl tint has been added on the windscreen, brake calipers have been painted in red colour while the ORVMs get a gloss black color scheme.

To make the Creta look more like a Land Rover, the modifiers have also installed Land Rover badges on the side. To add to the premium feel, a sunroof has been installed by the modifiers however it is just a standard sunroof only.

Hyundai offers a panoramic sunroof on the top of the line Creta however as it is the base variant, the owners had to get the installation done from after-market modifiers. On the rear-end, a Rover badge has been installed while the brake lamps have been wrapped as well.

Interiors

The dashboard gets a dedicated leather wrapping and a large infotainment unit too has been installed. Diamond stitched leather upholstery has been installed on seats and the rear seats also get individual infotainment units. Land Rover badges can be seen here also, on the seats and the steering wheel.

It needs to be noted that modifications are illegal as per law. Owners can make such modifications to their vehicles; however, changes made to the vehicle needs to be certified by the RTO.

TVS Zeppelin Trademark Registered, Are We Finally Getting it?

TVS Zeppelin Trademark Registered, Are We Finally Getting it?

TVS recently dropped a bombshell with the launch of the updated Apache RTR 200 4V. It is worth noting that TVS gave the Apache RTR 200 4V a thorough makeover, not too long ago. This goes on to show that TVS is one such company which actually believes in evolution and bestows its two-wheelers with necessary updates, rather than just playing around with different colour schemes and body graphics. It looks like TVS is readying another weapon to unleash on its rivals and it is none other than the Zeppelin.

More details

The TVS Zeppelin, despite being a concept which was showcased two years ago at the 2018 Auto Expo, has managed to stay popular. Trademark registration data reveals that TVS has received approval for its Zepplin R motorcycle.

At the time when the concept was showcased, it was named ‘Zeppelin’ but the trademark details reveal that the ‘e’ has been dropped and now it’s just ‘Zepplin’. The upcoming motorcycle also gets an additional ‘R’.

Powertrain

The concept which was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo featured a 220cc engine coupled with a 1200W regenerative assist motor with 48V Li-ION battery. Though it’s highly unlikely that TVS will develop a new hybrid engine for the Zeppelin when they already have a host of engine options available in their portfolio. They could swap in the same 197.5cc oil-cooled engine found on the RTR 200 4V which is good for 20.5 ps @ 8500 rpm. Like mentioned above, TVS is also planning to launch another motorcycle based on the 310 platform. Although we think this will be a different motorcycle altogether, we won’t be surprised to see the same motor power the Zeppelin.

Features and specifications

TVS pays special attention when it comes to designing instrument clusters of their motorcycles. They understand that instrument clusters loaded with features and smartphone app compatibility are the order of the day! It would be safe to assume that TVS will leave no holds barred in designing the Zeppelin’s instrument cluster. It could host the same connectivity features found on the Apache RR 310 too! When they can pull it off with the Ntorq, they might as well do it with the Zeppelin too, right?

Targeted at the new-age long-distance rider, TVS Zeppelin concept was a sleek metal-bodied cruiser in a striking shade of rustic brown. It featured some premium cycle parts too including front USD forks and a rear mono-shock. The same suspension setup could make its way to the production version too. The concept also boasted of an integrated HD Action camera to capture your riding adventures on the go. TVS might not include the latter but they have never shied away from dressing their motorcycles with premium cycle parts. That shouldn’t change with the Zeppelin either.

Finally a TVS cruiser?

Part of the reason why it garnered so much attention at the 2018 Auto expo and still manages to do so is that TVS currently has no cruiser in their portfolio. The TVS Zeppelin came out as a new milestone in the world of cruising, where power cruising and a minimalist design blend seamlessly with cutting-edge technology. The riding posture of the TVS Zeppelin concept was aggressive yet comfortable, with a two-up seat, lowered bars and feet forward highway pegs. If TVS decides to put the Zeppelin into production, it could manage to make a dent in the astronomical sales figures of Royal Enfield.
