Hyundai Creta facelift safety kit

The images released by Hyundai show that the Creta facelift will get six airbags. Range-topping variants – likely the SX Tech and SX(O) – will be equipped with Hyundai’s SmartSense Level 2 ADAS suite that is said to have 19 functions, 360-degree cameras, a blind spot monitoring system, a tyre pressure monitoring system, all-wheel disc brakes, and electronic stability control (ESC). Hyundai claims that the Creta’s body structure has been reinforced and other changes have been made to ensure a “high level of crashworthiness”. This is of, course, to have one eye on the recently launched Bharat NCAP safety tests.
