Hyundai's Creta Gets Stylish Makeover With A Fresh New Face
Date: 2022-07-28
Hyundai's Creta received an eyecatching styling makeover, which - coupled with its comprehensive list of standard features and outstanding ride qualities - will continue to make this Korean compact SUV a popular choice in a very competitive segment of the South African car market.
The new Creta range comprises three derivatives with two different specification levels: Premium and Executive. At the time of the new Creta's launch, a 1,5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is used as the power source in combination with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).
The 2022 Hyundai Creta sports fresh, new exterior styling, particularly the very attractive front grille and lights design, which makes a dramatic first impression. The daytime running lights of the Executive derivative are incorporated into the parametric jewel pattern grille - as with the new Hyundai Tucson - and makes the Creta almost appear like a smaller sibling of the Tucson.
A multifunction steering wheel with remote control buttons for the infotainment system, trip computer and cruise control, and a wireless charging pad (in the Executive derivatives) are among the many convenience features found in the Hyundai Creta.
Furthermore, the Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity of the infotainment system with its 8-inch touch screen enables the driver or passengers to select several functions through voice commands, and the Executive version offers wireless phone charging as standard equipment.
A naturally aspirated 4-cylinder 84 kW engine with a 1 497-cc displacement, linked to either a 6-speed manual or automatic front wheel drive gearbox, with Intelligent Variable Transmission (lVT), are used as a drivetrain for the Creta.
The 1,5-litre naturally aspirated engine delivers peak power at 6 300 r/min. and 144 Nm maximum torque at 4 500 r/min. Hyundai has equipped the 1,5-litre petrol engine with two injectors per cylinder and applies advanced valve timing, called Middle Position Lock CVVT, to improve efficiency.
Of course the attention to safety and performance means that the Creta has a list of safety measures including front and side airbags, Hill-start Assist Control, ISOFIX, Electronic Stability Control and much more.
Test drive a vehicle that will fit your life and your profession and your hobby and your adventurous spirit, test drive the new Creta.
