5 Must-have accessories for your Hyundai Creta

By Ané Theron

Spec your Creta so it fits in with your go-everywhere lifestyle. Here's how.

1. Nudge Bar

The number-one accessory to give your SUV a bit of a rock-star attitude would have to be a nudge bar. It's also helpful in keeping your Creta's 'nose' free of unsightly blemishes. R 5205.19

2. Roof racks

Even if you never utilize them, roof racks give any SUV that ruggedly handsome look. These wing bar roof racks by Thule are known to be high-quality, and have a 2-yr/60 000 km warranty. They're priced at R 4721 33.

3. Roof box

If your Creta's boot is getting a little too cramped, may we recommend this stylish 300-litre roof box by Thule? It also carries a 2-year/60 000 km warranty. R 6736.73

4. Cruise Control

If you are known to have a somewhat heavy right foot, maybe cruise control can save you from racking up a few hefty fines. It's also known to assist with good fuel consumption, considering the road is level and straight. Cruise control for the Creta is priced at R7193.45.

5. Rubber boot liner with no-spill lip

Lover of the outdoor life? With doggies that like to get muddy and recline in the back? Save yourself some hassle and be sure to fit this easy-to-clean rubber boot liner, R1661.75.
