India’s #1
New Car Buying Platform
Over the years, the Hyundai Creta has established itself as a leader in the compact SUV market, with sales surpassing 9 lakh units since its 2015 launch. Combining a striking exterior, an array of features, customer trust in the brand, a priority on safety and versatile engine options, the Creta continues to attract car buyers. In this blog, we talk about five key reasons behind the success of the 2024 Hyundai Creta.
Hyundai’s design language has been experimental throughout the years and some may say that the first generation Creta looked the best and the second generation worst. The brand made sure to choose a middle ground with the latest Creta to give it a simplistic yet modern look. The LEDs have been redesigned and are connected. The bumper has also been remade and a faux skid plate is added.
The updated model launched in January 2024 has a bold and fresh look that makes it stand out. Creta’s sharp lines and curves add a dynamic touch, while the SUV silhouette makes it look exciting. At the back, the wide LED taillights create a unified look and the newly designed bumper adds a nice finish. The stylish 17-inch alloy wheels (in machined finish) make the SUV even more eye-catching, setting the Creta apart from its competitors.
Inside the 2024 Hyundai Creta, you will experience a well-thought-out cabin designed for comfort and convenience. The Creta is full of advanced technology, like wireless charging, a seven-speaker Bose sound system and a panoramic sunroof that fills the interior with light. Dual-zone climate control keeps everyone comfortable, while ventilated front seats help you stay cool during hot summers. You now get to choose between an all-black or dual-tone (black and greige colour) dashboard theme complemented by red accents and silver inserts. Apart from that, both the touchscreen infotainment system and instrument cluster measure 10.25 inch. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available.
Rear seats split and fold in 60:40 format for extended storage space, especially during trips. Other features include a cooled glovebox, eight-way adjustable seats, an air purifier, an electric parking brake, hill hold assist, cruise control and idle stop-and-go technology.
Safety is very important for car buyers and the new Creta meets those needs well. It comes with many safety features to protect both passengers and pedestrians. The Creta includes six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control and a tyre pressure monitoring system as standard across all models. The highlight of the 2024 model is the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which offers features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. These safety technologies not only improve the driving experience but also provide peace of mind for families and daily commuters.
Creta is one of the few SUVs that gets both petrol and diesel options with a host of transmissions. The naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol Creta belts out 113 horsepower and 144 Nm, while the 1.5 diesel puts out 114 hp and 250 Nm. There is also a 1.5-litre turbo petrol mill which is the most powerful with figures of 158 bhp and 253 Nm. Mileage from these engines lies in the range of 17-21 kmpl based on the variant. Gearbox options include manual, automatic and dual-clutch.
Hyundai has earned a strong reputation for reliability, which adds to the Creta's appeal. Buyers want cars they can trust and the Creta offers just that. According to reports, the South Korean brand has over 900 service centres in India. Hyundai's dedication to customer satisfaction shows in its high ratings for after-sales service, making it a dependable choice for many drivers.
The 2024 Hyundai Creta remains a top choice in the mid-sized SUV market, combining stylish design, modern technology, trusted reliability, strong safety features, and diverse engine options. As Hyundai continues to innovate and respond to what buyers want, Creta's success is likely to continue, keeping it a favourite among Indian car buyers.
