2017 Hyundai Creta Review
In response to the growing competition in the compact crossover segment worldwide, Korean automaker Hyundai introduced the Creta. This vehicle is named after a historic Greek city, embodying the brand's ambition to create the best car in its class.
Exterior Design
At first glance, the 2017 Creta appears larger than its competitors in the same segment. It has several inches on its rivals and is only a few inches smaller than its larger sibling, the Hyundai Tucson. With a ground clearance of 190 mm, it handles obstacles and rough roads exceptionally well.
Although its features are relatively conventional, they reflect Hyundai's modern design philosophy. The vehicle is equipped with roof rails for carrying various types of cargo and daytime running lights that indicate its design is not just for aesthetics.
Interior Design
The Creta offers one of the best interiors among its competitors. Hyundai has minimized the use of hard plastic, creating a more visually appealing design. Both the front and rear seats are spacious, providing ample comfort for passengers.
Features
The Hyundai Creta comes with numerous features in its standard version, setting it apart from competitors. The vehicle includes Bluetooth and USB connectivity as standard, along with an infotainment system that enhances the dashboard experience. Higher trims offer navigation systems and rearview cameras.
Specifications
The 2017 Hyundai Creta is equipped with a single engine option: a 1.6-liter engine producing 121 horsepower and 151 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This setup, along with a flexible suspension system, ensures a smooth and comfortable driving experience.
Conclusion
Hyundai has achieved notable success with the 2017 Creta. While it may not be the first choice for everyone, it offers a plethora of impressive features for a reasonable price, making it a strong contender in the compact crossover market.
