The Hyundai Creta is offered with three engines. The 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol makes 115hp at 6,300rpm and 144Nm at 4,500rpm. The 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel makes 116hp at 4,000rpm and 250Nm from 1,500 to 2,750rpm. 

The 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol makes 160hp at 5,500rpm and 253Nm from 1,500 to 3,500rpm. The diesel is the pick for high-mileage drivers, the petrol with the CVT is the relaxed city engine, and the turbo-petrol DCT is for those who want stronger performance.

Key facts for the Creta:

  • The Creta gets a 6-speed manual on the petrol and diesel, a CVT on the petrol, a 6-speed torque-converter automatic on the diesel and a 7-speed DCT only with the turbo-petrol, all with front-wheel drive. Eco, Normal and Sport drive modes, snow, mud and sand traction modes and paddle shifters come on the automatics from S(O).
  • It measures 4,330mm long, 1,790mm wide and 1,635mm tall, with a 2,610mm wheelbase and 190mm of ground clearance.
  • Suspension comprises MacPherson struts up front and a coupled torsion beam at the rear, with disc brakes on all four wheels. Lower trims get 16-inch wheels, mid trims 17-inch wheels and the King 18-inch alloys.
  • The Creta has a 50-litre fuel tank, a 433-litre boot and a 60:40 split rear seat with a two-step recline.
  • In our tests, the petrol CVT covered 0-100kph in 13.73sec and stopped from 80kph in 28.42m. Its kerb weight is 1,282kg.
  • Six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, vehicle stability management, hill-start assist, tyre pressure monitoring and ISOFIX mounts are standard across the range.
  • Level 2 ADAS, with adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane-keep assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist and autonomous emergency braking, is available from the King trim.
  • The biggest screens are a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital driver's display, and higher variants get an 8-speaker Bose system, a wireless charger and ventilated front seats.

I have been driving the Hyundai Creta for some time now and my overall experience has been excellent. The car offers a premium feel, stylish design, and a very comfortable cabin.

It's a great car with good comfort and mileage, but it has several issues. Sometimes the DEF sensor doesn't work, the TPMS can fail, and the AC might act up. The Creta is a fantastic car, but the durability is questionable, especially in the third generation.

Best for drive features, you can go anywhere 1000 km no problem at all and you will get best feeling in long drive so you can buy creta s(o) or more nothing in base model so buy a higher model.

Questions you may find useful

I’ve owned a Toyota Etios Liva diesel and a Honda City diesel, and I now drive a Hyundai Creta petrol. I drive about 100 km a day, and my fuel bill is currently around Rs 18,000 a month. Should my next car be a diesel SUV to cut fuel costs? The City diesel was an excellent car, but I had to switch because of its low ground clearance. The Creta is a good car, but I need better fuel efficiency. Would buying a diesel SUV help? I’d also like your advice on the Mahindra Scorpio N and XUV700: are they worth buying? Overall, which is the best SUV under Rs 25 lakh?

With a daily running of around 100km, switching to a diesel SUV makes sense, and we would suggest looking at the Kia Seltos diesel and Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic. However, don't assume that a larger diesel SUV will automatically reduce your monthly fuel bill significantly.The Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel automatic is a great upgrade if you want more space, performance and comfort. Its 2.2-litre diesel engine produces 185hp and 450Nm, and returned 13.1kpl in Autocar India's real-world tests. However, given its size and weight, your monthly fuel expenditure may not reduce dramatically compared to your Creta petrol. The Kia Seltos diesel, on the other hand, will be more economical to run and is also a refined SUV with a premium cabin. It will feel more spacious than your Creta, although it cannot match the XUV 7XO for outright cabin space and performance.

I am thinking to buy either Seltos or Creta for my father. Which one do you suggest?

I’m planning to buy a Hyundai Creta IVT automatic and am confused between two variants: the SX Premium Summer Edition and the SX King. I drive about 70 - 80 km a week, plus a 350 km trip roughly once every 45 days. The King variant also gets ADAS. Which one is the right choice for me?

Verified

The Hyundai Creta King costs over Rs 1 lakh more than the Creta SX Premium, and for the additional cash, you get ADAS tech like auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and more, an auto-dimming IRVM, larger 18-inch alloys, a powered front passenger seat, memory function for the driver's seat and front parking sensors. That's a lot of additional features for not that much more money, and you can even turn the ADAS features off if you don't want them. So if you can, go for the Creta King, as you'll see the SUV in its best light.

I have a 2013 Volkswagen Polo petrol, and my parents are retired. I need an automatic car that’s easy for them to get in and out of, with a very comfortable ride, excellent NVH levels and more rear-seat space. My usage is very low, about 5,000-7,000 km a year, mainly in the city, and I plan to keep the car for more than eight years. My budget is Rs 20 lakh. My shortlist includes the Mahindra XUV 3XO turbo-petrol, the Skoda Kushaq 1.0 AT and the Hyundai Creta IVT. I skipped the Kia Seltos because of its size. Which of these is the best, or are there any better options?

Verified

The Hyundai Creta 1.5 petrol IVT would be our clear recommendation for your requirements. It has a comfortable seating position, wide-opening doors, a spacious rear seat and a plush ride. Its naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the IVT is also very smooth in city traffic.The Skoda Kushaq 1.0 AT is enjoyable to drive and has supportive seats, but its low-speed ride is firmer, and its engine and gearbox combination isn't as smooth as the Creta's IVT. The Mahindra XUV 3XO TGDi AT offers excellent performance and a comfortable rear seat, but its ride has a slightly firm edge and its boot is relatively small.

Hyundai dealers are giving more than 1 lakh discounts on Creta. Should I wait for year end or not?
