Hyundai's popular Creta SUV has received a stylish mid-life refresh, with the standout addition being the new Matte Edition. Available in Midnight Black, Magnetic Silver, or Optic White matte finishes, these special versions feature glossy black 17-inch rims, high-gloss black A and C pillars, and matching black accents throughout.

Powered by Hyundai's familiar 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 84kW and 144Nm, which is paired with either a 6-speed manual or the Intelligent Variable Transmission, features in the choice between Premium or Executive trim.

The Creta continues to impress with its ride quality, handling both city streets and gravel roads with comfortable confidence. With its 20cm ground clearance, weekend adventures are definitely on the cards.

Tech features include an 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration, while safety is comprehensive in Executive trim with the Smart Sense Safety package offering blind spot assistance, lane departure warning, and collision avoidance systems.

The best news is prices for certain models have actually dropped, making this well-equipped medium SUV even more appealing. For families seeking style, space and value, the refreshed Hyundai Creta deserves a spot on your test drive list.
