Hyundai Creta (2024) Launch Review
How much does the Hyundai Creta MY24 cost in South Africa?
Pricing includes a 5-year/150 000 km warranty, an additional 2-year/50 000 km powertrain warranty and a 4-year/60 000 km service plan and the service intervals are at every 15 000 km.
1.5 Premium 6MT R449 900 R469 500 for old MY23 model
1.5 Premium CVT R479 000 R490 500 for old MY23 model
1.5 Premium CVT Matte Edition R484 000
1.5 Executive CVT R519 900 R522 500 for old MY23model
1.5 Executive CVT Matte Edition R524 900
Summary
While the latest Hyundai Creta hasn’t changed too much, the reduction in price while offering more standard equipment is to be lauded. The powertrain is more suited to urban commuting so don’t expect much in terms of driving engagement, but we assume the majority of customers in this segment are prioritising comfort and value for money above everything else.
The matte paint is polarising, but if you want to make a strong style statement and take the risk of maintaining it, then go for it!

Driven: Updated Hyundai Creta touches down in SA with more features, lower prices
Hyundai is slowly but surely sharpening its SUV game in the face of increased competition from a seemingly endless stream of new Chinese models.
This year it cut the prices of its Venue compact model, and then introduced the even smaller Exter to compete at the budget end of the market beneath the R300,000 mark.
Now it’s time for the Creta to get some love and attention, and to that end Hyundai Automotive South Africa has just announced a raft of subtle upgrades to its Creta, the biggest of its compact models, while also reducing prices.
More standard features have been added across the board and the importer has added a pair of Matte Edition models, which boast matte paint work in black, silver or white, as well as black trim elements for body parts such as the grille and for the 17-inch alloy wheels.
The Hyundai Creta line-up now kicks off at R449,900, with the base 1.5 premium manual model now being almost R20,000 cheaper than its predecessor. The Premium is also available in IVT auto form (similar tech to CVT) at R479,000, an R11,000 reduction, while the Executive flagship is R2,600 cheaper, at R519,900.

Hyundai reveals compact SUV future plans for South Africa, including revamped seven-seater
Hyundai already has most corners of the SUV market covered in South Africa, but 2025 and 2026 will see at least two of these models being revamped.
Speaking at the launch of the updated Creta compact SUV in Johannesburg on Friday, Hyundai SA’s sales director Stanley Anderson told local media that the Alcazar would replace the Grand Creta locally in 2025.
He also revealed that 2025 would be the final model year for the current Venue compact SUV, with an all-new version set to be released during 2026.
The Venue, currently priced from R309,900, is facing stiff competition from similarly sized offerings that fall below the R300,000 mark, such as the new Mahindra 3X0, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro and Kia Sonet. The next-generation version has yet to be revealed abroad.
The new Hyundai Alcazar is already on sale in its home market of India. It’s an extensively updated version of the vehicle that we know as the Grand Creta, but which has always used the Alcazar name abroad.
While the 4,560mm-long SUV retains its predecessor’s basic shape and dimensions, it has been completely redesigned at the front and back, with the odd but curvy styling cues making way for a squared off look.

Hyundai unveils the new Creta electric SUV
Hyundai has taken the wraps off the Creta Electric in India, marking a significant step in the electrification of its lineup in the local market. This new model brings a zero-emission powertrain option to the popular Creta lineup. Thankfully, Hyundai has maintained its functional design and practicality, which have made this model a success.
The Creta Electric gets a refreshed exterior with subtle yet distinctive design elements. The front end features a split-grille design with a pixelated pattern. The lower bumper comes with active aero flaps for improved efficiency, and the rear bumper has a pixelated pattern too. It even gets an aluminum-style skid plate. The EV rides on newly designed 17-inch aero-optimized wheels, and the launch version is available in striking Ocean Blue metallic paint.
While Hyundai has kept the powertrain specifics under wraps, it's likely a single electric motor driving the front wheels. The company claims a brisk 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.9 seconds, making it quicker than the gasoline-powered Creta N Line. Buyers will have a choice of two battery packs. A 42 kWh unit provides an estimated 389 km of range, while a 51.4 kWh unit promises an impressive 473 km on a single charge. These numbers are based on the local ARAI testing cycle.
Charging the Creta Electric shouldn't take too long. With fast charging capabilities, Hyundai promises a 10-80% charge in just 58 minutes using a DC charger. For charging at home, the standard 11 kW AC wallbox will fully replenish the smaller battery in 4 hours. The SUV also features a small frunk for storing charging cables and other small items. The charging port is conveniently located behind the Hyundai emblem on the front bumper.

Hyundai Creta Electric Revealed
The Hyundai Creta Electric has been revealed, with a range of just under 500 kilometres. Here are the early details.
The Hyundai Creta Electric is built in India and will be formally revealed at the Bharat Mobility Show in the middle of January 2025.
Most of the details, including critical info such as range and performance, have already been confirmed. Visually, the Creta Electric differs from the internal combustion-powered derivatives by way of its split grille which has been blocked with a pixelated pattern. This pattern is repeated on the rear and while the side profile is similar to the standard car, the 17-inch aerodynamic wheels are unique to this EV.
While outputs of the car have yet to be confirmed, performance is brisk, with a claimed 0-100 kph of 7.9 seconds, making it quicker than the petrol-powered Creta. There will be two battery sizes offered, with capacities of 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh. As far as range goes, 390 km and 473 km are the claims, based on the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) testing process.

Will give this a good look. Thanks.
always liked these. the 1.6 diesel exec seems like a decent alternative to the duster EDC as a fuel saver and cruiser for long trips with some gravel road capability. Hyundai has done enough IMO to prove their reliability.
I remember though that they came without ESC IIRC. The facelift looks nicer
What would the other downfalls be? Also a 2.0 petrol Tuscon might seem a better deal 2nd hand?
any members here care to share their experiences ?

2025 Hyundai Creta Electric Review - Team-BHP
Hyundai Creta Electric Pros• Superbly engineered all-rounder that delivers a satisfying experience
• User-friendly interiors with sufficient space & good quality parts. Great interior upgrades over the Petrol / Diesel Creta
• 168 BHP motor is enjoyable to drive. 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds!
• Unladen ground clearance of 200 mm is perfect for Indian roads
• Sorted road manners & handling
• Zero emissions, cheap “fuel” costs, no gears, light controls make it an ideal city car
• Safety package includes ADAS Level 2, hill descent control, 6 airbags, ESP, all-wheel disc brakes, auto-hold, TPMS etc.
• Impressive kit (ventilated & electrically adjustable front seats, boss mode, reclining rear seats, memory function for driver seat, digital key, fully digital instruments, 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, rear window sunshades, adjustable regen, Bose sound system, V2L charging, in-car payment for charging & loads more)
• Hyundai's wide dealer & service network
Hyundai Creta Electric Cons
• Smaller battery packs and shorter range compared to rivals such as the Tata Curvv & Mahindra BE 6
• EV-specific tyres limit the car's handling and braking capabilities
• Firmer suspension isn't as compliant as the regular Creta's
• Back seat's width makes it better for 2 adults and a kid, rather than 3 adults
• A few misses (e.g. wireless Android Auto & Apple Carplay, illuminated window buttons!!!)
• 433-litre boot is lesser than the Tata Curvv (500 litres)
• The usual EV challenges (charging infrastructure, highway range anxiety etc.)
• Although not bad, rear seat under-thigh support is lesser than the ICE Creta, and you do sit in a bit of a knees-up position. Taller people will have an issue with under-thigh support

Hyundai launches electric Creta SUV in India
Hyundai Creta SUV has enjoyed decent popularity in India for quite some time, and now it has gone electric. With a starting price of just over $20,000, the Creta EV promises to make electric mobility accessible to a wider audience.
This compact SUV has been a remarkable success story in India since its launch in 2015. In 2024, Creta achieved record sales, with 186,919 units sold, accounting for over 30% of Hyundai's overall sales of 605,433 vehicles in India. It's no surprise, with so many units sold, that Creta is one of the most popular SUVs in the country.
Building on this momentum, Hyundai introduced an electric version of the Creta at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. The Creta EV has a starting price of Rs 17.99 Lakh, equivalent to just over €18,000, making it quite an attractive proposition in India's fast-growing EV market.
The electric Creta is available in four trims – Executive, Smart, Premium, and Excellence. The top-of-the-line Excellence trim is priced at Rs 23.50 lakh, approximately €24,500. Although it sounds affordable by Western standards, the gas-powered Creta starts at around €11,500 (Rs 10.99 Lakh) - nearly half the price of the EV version.
