Is the Hyundai Creta a good car?
Despite only being available for the past few years, the Creta has been a great addition to the Hyundai SUV portfolio, offering space, specification and efficiency, making it a good car.
Who is the Hyundai Creta a good car for?
The Hyundai Creta is a good car for those looking for a raised ride height, a reasonably large boot and efficiency at an affordable price.
Is the Hyundai Creta a good first car?
The Creta is reasonably large, and with the likes of the i20 and Venue in the range, we would opt for the smaller models as a first vehicle.
Is the Hyundai Creta a good family car?
With a solid safety score, a large boot and a versatile interior, the Creta is a great family car.
Is there a Hybrid Hyundai Creta?
There is currently only one engine available in the Creta locally, namely a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol paired with a CVT.

What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
The engine performs admirably and consumers will not be expecting the Creta to take any race victories. The 100 km/h mark comes up in a lowly 11.8-seconds but for the daily commute this is not a concern at all. At the top, you'll see the needle pegged at 170 km/h.

What does it look like?
Exterior
What is the Hyundai Creta like inside?
Where the exterior of the new Creta has been zhuzhed up, the interior is still, by and large, the same as the model it replaces. This cabin is best described as minimalist, drawing inspiration from older Volvo models where the waterfall centre fascia cascades from on top of the dashboard and flows down towards the gear selector. The fascia is simplistic with the infotainment system taking pride of place and the simplified HVAC controls resting below it.- Chad Luckhoff, AutoTrader
Style
The 2022 Hyundai Creta sports fresh, new exterior styling, particularly the very attractive front grille and lights design which makes a dramatic first impression. The daytime running lights of the Executive derivative are incorporated into the parametric jewel pattern grille – as with the new Hyundai Tucson – and makes the Creta almost appear like a smaller sibling of the Tucson.- Hyundai SA
