Hyundai Creta (2022) First Drive Review
This new update now pushes the Creta further and elevates the overall appearance and perception of the model. The most striking design element is that of the headlights and grill, where one flows into the other. On Executive models, the daytime running lights blend into what Hyundai calls their parametric jewel pattern grille. It's a convoluted design element that we've seen used to great effect in the Tucson and has now carried down into the Creta as well.
