Hyundai Creta - Catching Eyes - Turning Heads

Hyundai Creta - Catching Eyes - Turning Heads

Date: 2022-09-30

The eye-catching styling makeover, which Hyundai's Creta recently received, 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 focal point of the new exterior styling is 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.On the inside, the styling of the new Creta is clean, sometimes minimalistic. 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.The button for the Bluetooth telephone connection on the steering wheel enables the driver to make calls using voice recognition. 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.

Manoeuvring the new Creta in the city and in tight spaces is made easy with the rear park assist sensors and camera, which displays its view on the infotainment system?s screen. The new Creta has a naturally aspirated 1,5-litre 4-cylinder engine, linked to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) gearbox. The engine delivers 84 kW peak power and 144 Nm maximum torque.All Cretas are sold with a 7-year / 200 000 km manufacturer?s warranty; a 4-year / 60 000 km service plan; and roadside assistance for 7 years or 150 000 km.
