After the success of Renault Duster, most of the automobile companies have tried their hands in the compact SUV segment. The latest to the group is much awaited Hyundai Creta - “ The Perfect SUV “. This time South Korean Brand has not just offered the appearance of SUV, but with luxury of Sedan. This car can compete the likes of Renault Duster, Nissan Terrano and Ford Ecosport.
Exteriors:
In terms of appearance, Creta looks pretty much similar to its elder sibling Santa Fe. The front grille is exactly the same and the front bumper comes with three slate chrome grille, the chrome is generously used around fog lamps. The side profile holds 16-inch alloy wheels in SX and SX+ version and 17-inches alloy wheels in top end variant. Coming to the rear profile, it has a typical SUV structure with swept-back design tail light cluster and dual tone bumper. The rear windscreen looks small, but it is accompanied by a large tailgate along with a rear spoiler. The design of the Creta is bang-on, it's just what an SUV lover wants and expects. It is high with 190 mm of ground clearance. It gets a boot space of 400 litres, which is quite good for carrying luggage.
Interiors:
Inside the cabin, it is loaded with a lot of features. It has a 5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, Aux-In, USB and Audio Visual Navigation. The steering wheel too has been refined with three spokes having multi-functional switches on it. The dashboard is equipped with advanced AC unit, proficient music system and a glove box chiller. It has vertical rectangular AC vents in the center and on the either sides as well. Moreover, there is a rear A/C vent to make the cooling even more quicker. Seats are covered with leather upholstery and are comfortable enough for the long drives. It offers a good amount of legroom, shoulder space and headroom to all the occupants. This compact SUV offers first in the segment 6-speed transmission. For safety concern, SX version gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, packing sensor, impact sensing auto door lock, however the SX(O) version gets extra feature like side and curtain airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Vehicle Stability Management and Hill Assist.
Engine and Performance
Creta is offered with three engine options-1.6 CRDi VGT diesel engine, 1.6 VTVT petrol engine and 1.4 CRDi diesel engine. The petrol trim brings the combo of power & refined performance and generates the output of 123 PS and a peak torque of 151 Nm, while the 1.6-litre diesel mill churns out 128PS of max power and a torque of around 260 Nm. The 1.4 CRDi diesel engine produces a power of 88.8bhp in conjunction with a 220 Nm of torque. The first impression is well energetic and zippy. It's very easy to drive in cut and corners, taking sharp cuts. The steering is quite nice, responsive and nice to hold as well. There is a slight turbo lag in Creta that comes at about 1500 RPM, while taking a sharp cut you can clearly feel that the car is dragging. Once the turbo kicks in, then the car is fantastic to drive. It behaves and performs very well with enough power in gears. The engine is a bit noisy, but filters into the cabin.
Verdict:
Creta is a fine package by Hyundai. The dash is nicely laid out, which gives a premium feel. The material used is good and is loaded with many features. Overall, this so called “The Perfect SUV” has everything to offer. If you are happy to a pay little higher price, then Creta is definitely a perfect compact SUV.

Great review. Is there much difference in driving 1.6 petrol vs diesel in city, do you have to rev the petrol quite a bit in city traffic. I am not sure which one to choose between 1.6 petrol or diesel. Any advice.

[@brightssmallworld6769]

thank you very much for give us such a nice review of creta..I was really confused to choose a car.but now am really believe in Creta

[@sobsingh93]

Please. An expert review on Hyundai Creta petrol Automatic.

[@cardekho]

We have forwarded your request and we will surely come up with something for you.

[@cr-je4vp]

please help me on this which one should I buy Ford eco sport with eco boost engine or creta petrol

[@cardekho]

We are here for your rescue, Ecosports Eco boost is a 3 cylinder petrol engine which means that it is good at higher revs but not on lower revs. Creta has got a 1500 CC motor to delight you plus, it also has got some ravishing interiors woven with lavish look and a perfect SUV stance. The NVH levels are low in Creta as compared to Ecosport. Ecosport is a nice vehicle to buy in this budget but you get something better if you increase your budget a bit. Hence, if you go for EcoSport, you get better features and if you go for Creta you get a refined petrol motor with some great looks.

[@cr-je4vp]

+CarDekho thanks for the info but if I have to choose between ecosport petrol or ecosport with ecoboost engine which one should I opt ?? tell me more about mileage

[@cardekho]

Ecoboost is a 3 cylinder engine which generates better power and torque as compared to the normal engine and the displacement is less too thus it is more fuel efficient. However, 3 cylinder engines have their own drawbacks, they are not so comfortable in lower revs and are more noisy. If you wish to have a car with better power go for ecoboost and if you want a car with better NVH level you should go for the normal Ecosport.

[@cr-je4vp]

+CarDekho thanks for the info ..it will surely help me :)

[@cr-je4vp]

+CarDekho hey one more query regarding creta and ecosoprt which car has stronger body ecosoprt or creta ?? ecosoprt uses boron steel and creta uses hive steel

[@cardekho]

[@tavindhruv5827]

[@cardekho]

Yup.

[@josephthomas2145]

I would like to buy hyundai creta 1.6 vtvt at sx plus petrol dual and please share your experience on this car, specially mileage and service

[@cardekho]

+Joseph Thomas If you’re looking for an SUV and will spend most of your time on paved roads, look no further as the Creta is the best option. Talking about mileage, it has 10.0 kmpl (city) & 13.0 kmpl (highway). These are claimed figures & will vary as per one's driving style. Backed by the strong after-sales network you can pick for it to enjoy a hassle free experience.

[@hewigaurav]

I am planning to buy a creta petrol automatic version....however in one of the review I found that the mileage is 8-12 in city. Can someone let me know some first hand review of the creta mileage of creta petrol automatic... I am confused, creta salesman on the other hand told me that it's mileage is better then manual...any clues here ?

[@cardekho]

Automatic variant will always offer you less mileage as compared to manual and also they are a bit more expensive to maintain. Again, it depends on the way you drive. It does offer mileage of 14 KMPL also provided, you drive it in economic speeds with the minimal amount of the use of clutch pedal.

[@shajithomas3515]

Gaurav, even i am planning a Creta Petrol Automatic to buy soon, and i just wants to know, are you happy with the vehicle???

[@samadams8580]

Can it be converted into cng..?how much mileage it'll get then..??

[@cardekho]

The Creta can be converted into CNG but that is not recommended. You can check this up with your nearest Service center. For the mileage too, I would suggest you to contact the service center only as they will be able to advice you better.

[@jordanvas6870]

how is the performance in long tour n Hill station

[@cardekho]

The Creta offers a good balance between ride and handling.In fact we think it is one of the best handling vehicles in the Hyundai line-up today. Its drive is very confident and it takes corners very well. The steering on the car is slightly better than other Hyundai cars. With features like the hill assist control along with ABS and EBD, the car is quite good even on hills.

[@TreBlass]

hi..I ride less within the city.. I use the car for intercity rides..so it's like 1000kms per month on an avg..this can vary, but more or less it's 1000 kms per month..which option should I go for, petrol or diesel?

[@cardekho]

As per the daily running, a petrol vehicle will be more economical for you.

[@TreBlass]

okayy..Thank you.. Happy new year!!

[@cardekho]

You are welcome and a very happy new year to you too :)

[@cardekho]

+shivam sharma No, the Creta does not get a dedicated Eco mode.

[@jordanvas6870]

Hello. I am driving 20 -30 km a day, can u suggest which one to go petrol or diesel.

[@cardekho]

Petrol will be definitely a better option to go with as it will be more economical when it comes to maintenance and overall running cost.

[@bvramana3521]

[@vishalabanave7552]

Can you please tell me Creta sx plus petrol city mileage.

[@cardekho]

It delivers mileage of about 11.2 KMPL in cities.

[@vishalabanave7552]

+CarDekho Thanks.

[@cardekho]

You are welcome :)

[@rajeshkumarburra3374]

In city it gives 14 to 15 mileage for petrol version

[@cardekho]

You are getting good mileage as even Hyundai claims 15.29 km/l . It seems that you maintain and drive you car in a proper manner. (y)

[@rajeshkumarburra3374]

Yes Bro

[@tkmuhammed5]

with ac or without?

[@thegovind]

Would you give sm description about driving conditions and tips too.

[@piyushgulati4991]

Rajesh r u confirmed. Because I m also planning the same to buy but my friends who are using petrol r saying don't buy prefer diesel as for 80-85km it cost him 1000Rs petrol. So r u sure.

[@amankashyap6175]

Is petrol creta faster than xuv500

[@cardekho]

No it is not, XUV 5OO has a massive engine of 1997 CC whereas the Creta has a 1591 CC engine, The power and torque that they both generate have a lot of difference and hence XUV 5OO is more powerful and fast as compared to Creta.

[@nitinswt]

Hi Thanks for the review. I had a question. Which do you think is a better buy and why? Creta Petrol Automatic vs Creta Diesel Automatic.

[@cardekho]

Both transmissions are great, It depends on you, which fuel type you want to go for . Petrol Automatic is quite and swift and the diesel one is slightly harsh but is manageable. If you drive your car for more than 50 kms a day then you should go for diesel otherwise petrol is the best option to go for.

[@nitinswt]

Gr8. Thanks for a quick reply. Looks like petrol it is for me then.

[@mayuabhivlogs1008]

Hi sir what's actual average of creta petrol version.....

[@cardekho]

+Dheeraj Panwar The mileage(ARAI) figure of Creta is: 1. Petrol+Manual - 15.29 kmpl. 2. Petrol+Automatic - 13.0 kmpl. These are claimed figures & will vary as per one's driving style and habit. Click on the link to know more: bit.ly/28Vk1pz

[@annasahebnalkar9280]

[@cardekho]

+Annasaheb Nalkar Hi, the Creta has a claimed efficiency of 15.29km/l. On our test, with a mix of city and highway drive, the Creta returned approximately 11.5km/l.

[@anmolsinghdeengra4863]

[@cardekho]

Roger that! we have forwarded your request to our team and we shall come up with something for you.

[@445gautam]

I just don't understand why people go for creta when XUV 500 is available for same price option.Creta a so called perfect SUV from house of Hyundai lacks a basic 4x4 option,powerful engine,3 row seat,aggressive stants which are some main specification that a SUV should have its just a overpriced car.Go get a life people

[@rajeshkumarburra3374]

XUV wont suit to family XUV is large and it will accommodate 7 . A family member driving XUV does look like a driver driving a car People go for Creta bcoz it is more looks like a family car Anyone who drive a car look like a family member that is the main reason behind this

[@kiran.rpillai1949]

Goutam Naik not everyone need 4×4 Ride

[@ryanrabe5313]

Goutam Nayak bcoz mahindra suv 500 looks ugly

[@sid_7747]

Maybe ppls like smooth driving and fear about maintenance costs, I planning to buy an suv, Did you guide me which one is better in maintenance?? I'm in abroad and every 3 months I coming to India... Xuv don't have petrol variant also I think... So which should I go for??
