The Hyundai Creta 2024 is yet another reliable and competent entry into the compact SUV segment in the country. Hyundai’s vehicles come with several guarantees of quality, the promise of reasonable prices, lots of top-notch features, and dependable after-sales service, making the vehicle the perfect choice for every driver. Those who need an all-rounder SUV that offers quick mobility on city roads and in traffic and good road presence can check out this vehicle.

Exteriors
The Creta has an aggressive exterior design. Its large LED headlamps, grille, and strong lines on the front, sides, and back give the vehicle a sporty appearance.

From an external design perspective, Hyundai has tilted more towards a sporty and dynamic appearance over a sedate one. While this vehicle definitely comes with more urban characteristics and a relaxed driving experience for users, its design brings some much-needed spice to the Creta.

Cabin design and comfort
The Hyundai Creta’s cabin has always been one of its main selling points. That remains the case with this latest iteration of the compact SUV as well.

The driver-centered console on the dashboard has a minimalistic look. The presence of the large infotainment screen on the central console gives the dashboard an uncluttered and aesthetically pleasing look. The soft and premium leather seats in the Creta are incredibly supportive and spacious. This is a tall vehicle, which is why the occupants within the Creta are never short of headroom space. Each row of seats are also designed in a way that the leg room, shoulder room, and knee room are maximized for occupants on each row. The cabin has little pockets and cubby holes for users to fit in their little belongings, such as phones or spectacles.

Engine and performance
A 1.0 Kappa TGDI engine provides the car with 120 horsepower. This engine is small in capacity, but it packs a punch when it comes to on-road performance. The fuel economy of this vehicle is also on the higher side. Equipped with a 2.0-liter engine, the flagship Ultimate variant produces about 167 horsepower. The top speed and overall acceleration of this vehicle is faster and smoother than the base variant engine.

Features
The Hyundai Creta’s new prices remain reasonable even after the upgrade. At those prices, this vehicle comes with a host of technology and features to entertain and offer convenience to its occupants. For example, the Hyundai SmartSense, which is an integrated system of technologies that focuses on safety and convenience is built into the framework of this vehicle. Some key features include high-resolution sensors and cameras to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings. The cameras also make parking the Creta easy and also maneuver it in tight spaces.

Some of the other great features in this vehicle include an automatic climate control system, a panoramic sunroof, a drive mode selector to change the driving behavior of the vehicle, a wireless phone charger, connected car tech, and ventilated driver seats. A unique feature found on the latest version of the Creta is the rear seat presence alert. This system warns drivers about the possible presence of people or objects in the rear seat after the engine is turned off. This feature is useful for drivers to know if they have dozed-off kids, pets, or other valuable things in the rear seat just when they are about to leave the vehicle.

Most of these features come as optional add-ons for which users have to pay a premium amount.

Safety equipment
Hyundai’s vehicles are known for their tough and resilient build quality. Additionally, these vehicles score well in crash test evaluations all around the world. Nonetheless, Hyundai has provided many safety features on this latest Creta to make it as safe as possible for occupants and the driver. Features like airbags, anti-lock braking system, electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), traction control, stability control, and cruise control are present. Additionally, other features such as blind-spot monitoring system and pre- and post-collision systems make this SUV a kind of fortress for its occupants.

Lane-keeping assist, lane change assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, fatigue detector for drivers, LED headlights that come with anti-blinding capabilities (a must-have feature to prevent blinding of onrushing drivers), and Hyundai Bluelink, a connected service from Hyundai that provides alerts, vehicle assistance, and diagnostics, are also a part of the safety equipment list of the 2024 Creta.
