Hyundai Creta

Positives:

• The modern cabin uses higher-quality materials. Along with a large boot and a long list of features, the Creta makes for good value for money.

• The SUV gets a voice-enabled panoramic sunroof, rear window sunshades, and an integrated screen for the infotainment and instrument cluster.

• Other notable features include an electric driver seat, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front-row seats, one Type-C port, and a rear-view monitor.

• The Creta has excellent outward visibility with a well-laid-out and low-set dashboard, slim A-pillars, and adequately sized windows.

• The front seats are sufficiently large, well-cushioned, and make it easy to find an ideal driving position.

• The Creta boasts a Bose sound system with eight speakers, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay compatibility, Home to Car (H2C) with Alexa, and a one-year free subscription to JioSaavn.

• As for the rear bench, it is spacious with ample leg and shoulder room. As a result, it can seat three adults without a struggle.

• Interestingly, the second-row bench gets a 60:40 split and a two-step recline. Moreover, this section of the cabin has two Type-C charging ports.

Negatives:

• The short seat base lacks good under-thigh support despite there being so much space in the cabin.

Positives:

• The Creta boasts ADAS functionality with several features like forward collision warning, blind-spot collision warning, and avoidance assist.

• Other safety features include six airbags, three-point seat belts for all seats, ESC, all-disc brakes, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC).

• Moreover, the SUV gets a Surround View Monitor (SVM), TPMS, Blind-spot View Monitor (BVM), and an electric parking brake with auto-hold.

Negatives:

• The Hyundai Creta has not yet been tested by the NCAP or any other agency for its crash safety ratings.

• The Creta has evolved into a mature exterior design, which is Hyundai's best yet for the SUV. It is appealing for its aesthetic, simple, and clean lines.

• Its fascia boasts a black chrome radiator grille between the quad-beam LED headlamps, LED positioning lamps, and DRLs.

• More styling elements include LED sequential indicators, connecting LED taillamps, and 17-inch diamond-cut alloys.

• Other exterior features include chrome door handles, front and rear skid plates, and an integrated rear spoiler with a stop lamp.

• The single exterior paint shades include Robust Emerald Pearl, Abyss Black, Atlas White, Titan Grey, Ranger Khaki, and Fiery Red. There's also a dual-tone option of Atlas White with Abyss Black roof.

• The Creta gets puddle lamps with welcome function. The interior, including the dashboard, centre console, door pads, and other equipment, is nicely designed and well-put together for a premium feel.

• What further gives the Creta a modern touch is the huge integrated infotainment touchscreen system and digital instrument cluster.
