We drive one of the most anticipated cars in recent history - the all-new compact SUV, the Hyundai Creta. Read on to know everything about the exterior, interior, engine, handling and of course, value for money

There is no doubt in denying the fact that the Hyundai Creta is one of the most talked about cars in recent history. In fact, considering Hyundai’s recent products like the Elite i20, Xcent and Grand i10, the Creta is en route to being a grand success for the Korean manufacturer. So does it have what it takes to really be worthy of all the hype? Well, read on to find out more.



The Hyundai Creta actually looks the part of an SUV for starters. At first glance, it does look quite handsome and current too. This is mainly because of Hyundai’s Fluidic 2.0 sculpture that has been used on the Creta which tones down the curves that were present on some of the older cars in favour of a more euro look like we find on the Hyundai Elite i20. So what do we like? Well, we certainly like the large chrome grille and the projector headlamps with the daytime running lights, both features that are bound to go down really well with the Indian audiences.





We also like the adequate usage of black plastic cladding on the front bumper, door sills and the rear bumper which gives the Creta a slightly more aggressive and appealing stance as compared to the likes of some of its competition. The vertically placed fog lamps too complete the front look while the large 17-inch alloy wheels tie up the side profile very well.



As with most SUVs or compact SUVs in this case, the Creta gets a handsome set of roof rails and a rear-mid roof mounted radio antennae. Around the rear, the Creta gets a distinctive set of tail lamps and a large tail gate which has the Hyundai logo bang slap in the centre. The slightly lower mounted number plate housing and chrome accent piece does add to the overall look but does look slightly out of place. We also like the way the rear bumper is contoured with a use of a silver skid plate and grooves in the bumper that house the rear reflectors. On the whole, the Creta is certainly a good looking car which will without a doubt attract a big chunk of the Indian automotive buying customers.
