Hyundai Creta - In-depth Review

Hyundai is currently the fourth-largest seller of new passenger vehicles in South Africa. And, with the Creta, the firm’s hoping to move up to third place - that's how much how confidence the Korean brand has in this newcomer.
And, besides the pricing, which is at the top end of this segment, there's not much that we don't like about the Creta. We tested the top-of-the-range 1.6 CRDi Auto derivative and were impressed with the pliant ride quality, the premium feel of the interior, a generous standard specification and a glut of safety features.
Join us for an in-depth look at the brand new Hyundai Creta, which was launched in South Africa in February this year.

hyundai is making good cars but its lacking that premium feel too plasticy for that price cx-3 feels much more premium and Toyota has the looks

[@southerntriskel]

Thanks for the positive review. Looking forward to collecting it tomorrow. ..Cheerz!

[@rnburley]

Nice review. Was this shot in Gordans bay last Sat I think it was? When the road was closed? That explains the limited driving shots. I was driving behind this car and checking it out.

[@lorisubaru]

you are really great. I love your reviews. I would like to see one about jeep Renegade that can go in this segment too.

[@PeterLouw1981]

[@alifiakapasi9746]

[@th-l8936]

[@ItumelengS]

[@MalunganEmanuel]

i like it

[@khanyisilecibane3689]

I currently own a Hyundai Accent 2014 model with 88000km want to trade it for this Creta💖 how possible is that

[@jpnel009]

WOW

[@mohamedvawda979]

If you think this is a good car checkout the 2017 Peugeot 2008 diesel. Much better interior and fuel economy for R70k less. Clearly a really underrated car in this segment. Please review that car @cars.co.za

[@sherifali3997]

Nice car, its only problem: They forgot to make a sunroof!!!

[@hardtalkbbc]

I ve already booked an automatic diesel in India ..used to drive a Renault duster but that feels old and cheap

[@nomme2810]

Hardtalkbbc i thought it was dacia..

[@mrkruger5108]

Ill have a CX3 CHR HRV and Vitara before this

[@rickusmit8602]

Just one problem: The wheels are WAYYY too small

[@sudharramlugun9303]

Means cdri

[@Kavi4GP]

why does he sound bored of this car

[@SDav21]

With those cheap budget looks and drab interior how can it compete with the excellent Mazda CX3 or Peugeot 2008 which are far better vehicles.

[@SDav21]

No cliamte control even. Those ventilation controls look like an i10. And what about cruise control? And auto lights? Hyundai can't yet justify its pricing.

[@charliensh]

Big fan of Hyundai but this is far too pricey

[@SiriusStarGazer]

Some people here so disrespectful, they sound as though they are some competing salesman for another company. How ridiculous some peoplel can get, even to name calling. Calling the man a hobbit in a derogatory manner!

[@Sirmbo]

better the toyota

[@kalaharisafari7648]

No ways I am paying this kind of money for such a cheap interior design

[@FirstLast-pp8vi]

Any SUV with folded down rears seats that do not fold down completely flat is a total waste of time and should not even be mentioned because every sedan/SUV/Cross-over/Hatch/etc., since the 1980's has 60/40 rear seat splits. It means nothing if you mention it! An SUV's rear seats must fold down completely flat.. Even BMW's X3 gets this wrong! Did I hear correctly.. fuel consumption at 7.5L/100Km?? What!! For a 1.6 diesel?? That is seriously uneconomical. A total deal-breaker. You didn't mention the KW/Nm specs. Why not? Are you selling groceries or a car?! Also, if you're going to sit in the back and discuss leg room, tell us how tall you are. Otherwise the amount of space in front of your knees or above your head means nothing. Of course there will be a lot of space for a hobbit like yourself, but for a man of average size it is very different. Is the car AWD/FWD/RWD/4X4? Important info for the SUV market. Guy, this review wasted my time!
