HYUNDAI CRETA
HYUNDAI HAS GIVEN a big makeover to the second-generation Creta, which was introduced in India, in 2020. It now boasts a more universally appealing design compared to its earlier radical styling. The cabin has inched up in terms of premium feel. The feature updates include a 10.25-inch digital driver display, 360 degree camera, dual-zone climate control, and ADAS. While retaining the petrol and diesel powertrain options from the outgoing model, the new Creta gets the 1.5-litre turbo petrol unit (160 PS/253 Nm), paired exclusively with DCT automatic transmission. The regular 1.5-litre petrol engine (115 PS/144 Nm) comes with six-speed MT and CVT, while the 1.5-litre diesel (116 PS/250 Nm) gets six-speed MT and six-speed AT.
Investors looking for twin engines of quality and growth.
Is it worth buying? Yes. Creta is safer and more premium, thanks to its sharper looks, enhanced features and a wider range of powertrain options.
