Hyundai Creta Overview

Strong competition usually results in improved products. This is one reason Hyundai Creta keeps getting better and the brand smarter. With a lot of compact SUVs being released into the market by the day, you’d expect existing brands and models to do better. Hyundai has done just that with the Creta.

One look at the well-designed compact SUV and you’ll agree it looks a bit more complete, premium and tough than previous models. The bigger grille, a slew plate and fresher elements for the headlamps give the Creta a sportier, wider stance. Sadly, the brand could not find an answer to the Creta’s odd-looking derriere; only redesigned taillights, reformed bumper design and a skid plate complete the changes.
