New Hyundai Creta: What to Expect

Hyundai’s popular compact family car, the Creta, is due to be replaced with an all-new model in Q4 of 2020. Take a look at what you can expect!
The images you are looking at here are of the Hyundai ix25 for the Chinese market which is also known as the Creta in other markets, including our own. Naming aside, the ix25 provides us with insight into what you can expect from the Creta when it arrives on local soil later this year.

Built on the same modified platform as the recently-introduced Kia Seltos and in terms of dimensions, the new Creta stands longer, wider and higher than the current model and its wheelbase is also some 20 mm longer which bodes well for improved interior space. The ix25’s load bay is claimed at an impressive 444-litres…

On the inside, Hyundai has taken a more upmarket approach and perhaps the most striking feature is indeed the large vertical 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system which has effectively reduced button clutter as functions such as climate control are now accessed via the screen. A newly-designed, multi-function flat-bottom steering is also fitted as is a new digital instrument cluster. Other key features include a panoramic sunroof, push-button start, electronic park brake with auto-hold function, ventilated seats and a 360-degree camera system.

Looks like that other mini suv they released the other day?

Nice infotainment screen, in SA we will probably get some cheap aftermarket one :P
 
New (second-generation) Hyundai Creta revealed ... and headed to SA

Hyundai has taken the wraps off the second-generation Creta at Auto Expo 2020 in India ahead of the newcomer’s expected launch in South Africa later in the year.

The original Creta arrived in South Africa in February 2017, with the facelift following relatively soon after in September 2018.

Now the second-generation version (sharing much with the Hyundai ix25 revealed in China in 2019) has officially shown its face, with a local launch pencilled in for the final quarter of 2020.

In terms of exterior styling, the new version looks markedly different to its forebear, adopting an intricate split-headlamp arrangement (like its smaller Venue sibling) and a fresh interpretation of the Korean firm’s signature cascading grille.

New Hyundai Creta Revealed

Hyundai has revealed its new Creta compact family car at the Auto Expo in India. Here are the details…

A new Hyundai Creta has been revealed and its styling approach is quite different from the outgoing model. The new Creta is due to make landfall in South Africa in Q4 of 2020.

The front-end has changed dramatically and the Creta now wears a bold cascading grille flanked with split LED headlights and unique daytime running light design, and to that of the Hyundai Venue which was recently welcomed to the local market. The grille will be flanked by striking split LED headlights as well as LED taillights. A split taillight design is also seen at the rear and a brushed-aluminium-look skid plate adds some rugged appeal.

Hyundai Creta 7-Seater On The Way

Hyundai is developing a 7-seat version of its Creta compact family car.

The Hyundai Creta has proven to be a popular choice in the compact family SUV and recent spy photographs point to the development of a new 7-seat Creta that will feature an extended wheelbase of up to 30 mm to accommodate an extra row of seats.

The 7-seat Creta will share design cues with the new Creta which was revealed in India earlier this year. That means that it will wear the brand’s cascading grille, split LED headlights and unique LED daytime running lights. Split LED lights and a rear skid plate are also likely.

The interior design will be more upmarket than the current Creta with a new, slick 10.25-inch infotainment system expected with Android Auto and Apple Carplay capability. A newly-design steering wheel and instrument cluster is also likely as is wireless charging and ventilated front seats.

2020 Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos - Clash of the Korean Cousins | Comparison | Autocar India

It's possibly the most important comparison test of 2020 as the new Hyundai Creta takes on its arch rival, the Kia Seltos.

We have them both in turbo-petrol DCT guise, but since they're both essentially the same car under the skin, picking a winner is not going to be easy.

Renuka Kirpalani and Gavin D'Souza do a slightly unconventional comparison test to try and pick a winner.

Hyundai trademark filing uncovers fresh name for seven-seater Creta?

A fresh report out of India suggests Hyundai’s latest trademark filing points to a new badge set to be worn by the upcoming seven-seater version of the second-generation Creta.

According to MotorBeam, the Korean firm trademarked the “Alcazar” name in India in mid-April 2020. Interestingly, the official document confirms the badge has been set aside for use on a “sport utility vehicle”.

The Indian publication suggests the Alcazar nameplate is “very likely” to be used on the upcoming seven-seater version of the Creta. The newcomer, which has already been spotted undergoing testing, is widely expected to hit the market in India in early 2021.

 
2020 Hyundai Creta Review - carandbike

The Hyundai Creta has always been a highly popular SUV and the new generation model takes its game several notches higher. It is a comfortable, practical car and will appeal to many, notwithstanding its polarising design.

Here's our comprehensive review.

 
Hyundai Creta (2020) International Launch Review

The Indian-made Creta spearheaded Hyundai's arrival in the South African compact family-car segment in 2017 and, by virtue of being one of the Korean brand's top-selling models, the crossover's popularity has arguably come at the cost of sedan sales (in particular). Our Indian correspondent, Paranjay Dutt, recently got to grips with the 2nd-generation Creta, which will be arriving in South Africa soon.

Final thoughts

The sales stats don't lie – compact crossovers are wildly popular in the new-vehicle market. However, there always seems to be some sort of downside to them. Consider the new Creta, for example. It does everything well, but not anything that a similarly-sized hatchback can’t. Plus, while the idea of having larger wheels and a bigger glasshouse makes the Creta an appealing choice for those looking for a practically compact car with a (slightly) raised driving position, bear in mind there’s no all-wheel-drive option.

Which puts me on the spot, because, on the one hand, the Creta is just another crossover, but then again, it’s a really good one. And once you live with it, you're bound to appreciate it for the overall ease of use rather than its idiosyncrasies. Its engine isn't punchy, but sufficiently tractable, and the slightly raised ride height is handy when you're looking for a parking spot at your local park run. It’s familiar and makes you feel instantly at home. That’s astonishing for a new car, but then the Creta's always been like that.

Hyundai Creta : Official Review - Team-BHP

The Hyundai Creta is on sale in India at a price of between Rs. 9.99 - 17.20 lakhs.

What you'll like:

A superbly engineered all-rounder that delivers a premium experience
• We find the Hyundai Creta to be well-priced for what it offers
• User-friendly interiors with sufficient space & good quality parts
Loved the 1.4L turbo-petrol & 1.5L diesel. These are fantastic engines
• Smooth & competent automatic gearboxes available. With the useful "auto-hold" feature too
Sorted road manners & handling for a Hyundai, including on the highway. You will be surprised!
• The Creta's safety package includes 6 airbags, ESP, all-wheel disc brakes, TPMS etc.
Impressive kit (panoramic sunroof, paddle shifters, Bose sound system, cooled seats, cabin air purifier & loads more)
• Hyundai's competent after-sales service, fuss-free ownership & up to 5-years standard warranty

What you won't:

• Oddball love it or hate it styling. We find the Creta's exterior design to be too weird & futuristic
Firmer suspension isn't as cushy as the 1st-gen Creta. It is more comfortable than the Seltos though
• Back seat's width makes it better for 2 adults and a kid, rather than 3 adults
Some misses (no auto wipers, 360-degree camera, illuminated window buttons, full-size spare tyre on top trims)
• Dual-clutch ATs (like the Hyundai Creta Petrol DCT) have a history of poor reliability in India
• Diesel’s 113 BHP & 250 Nm – although adequate – are the lowest in the segment. Old 1.6L CRDi was superior
No manual transmission available with the fast 1.4L Petrol (Seltos offers this combo)
• The stiffer Seltos has an edge in the handling department. IMHO, the Kia is better looking too
• You get bigger SUVs & Crossovers for the same money (e.g. Hector, Harrier, XUV500)
