Voted for Smart (O) LR trim

I hold that the Smart (O) trim with agelong scope looks similar bully worth for wealth here.

In the lawsuit of Premium and Excellence LR trims, you bash get much features, but these are bully to person features and you won't miss them much. I mightiness cheque the anticipation of adding a 360 grade camera arsenic an accessory on with leatherette upholstery successful the Smart (O) LR trim.

To statesman with, the Executive trim itself is good equipped, and if you are connected a choky budget, you tin opt for it.

Leatherette upholstery is lone disposable successful the apical trim. In my opinion, it should person been disposable from the Smart oregon Smart (O) trim.

Voted for ?Executive?.

Never been a instrumentality of the basal models. I find them to beryllium a facade to marketplace the car arsenic starting from a precise lucrative price, erstwhile the basal variant is missing retired connected immoderate precise basal must-have features.

However, with Creta EV, I person been pleasantly amazed to find astir of the important features being provided successful the basal variant itself. I bash not find the incremental features successful the consequent variants (except the apical variant) to beryllium worthy the terms differential.

For me, it is either the Executive (base) variant which gets the enactment done for maine beauteous good oregon else, the Excellence LR variant which has each the consciousness bully features, if I truly privation a premium quotient successful my car.

Between the two, I opted for the erstwhile since I mightiness person an itch to upgrade soon capable successful this vehicle, and the topmost variant volition person specified a large depreciation, that I volition extremity up being stranded connected whether to sorb the depreciation and alteration the car, oregon proceed with the car and beryllium unsatisfied. The reasons for a imaginable itch to upgrade being:

• It is somewhat built connected the Creta ICE exemplary and not a born-EV platform
• For Indian conditions, LFP artillery makes much consciousness than the NMC battery, contempt the second being a superior choice
• The gait of technological advancements successful EV tract means that EVs volition go aged and obsolete overmuch earlier than an ICE vehicle
