The Creta is very much a lifestyle statement. Despite being categorized as a compact SUV, the Creta is a well-formed vehicle with balanced proportions. The front has a very strong presence owing to the muscular grille, accompanied with beefy front bumper and large fog lamps. Projector headlamps are accentuated by Daytime Running Lights. In profile, the Creta stands tall on 17-inch alloy wheels and a rising character line along with roof rails add to the tall stance. The rear design is very clean and simple, with wide wraparound taillights. Overall, the fluidic design language isn’t as loud as seen on other Hyundais, but that’s a good thing on this SUV, which will appeal to wider audience.The Hyundai Creta will be offered with a 1.6 petrol and 1.4 and 1.6 diesels, all mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The good news is that the 1.6 diesel is available with a six-speed automatic transmission as well. All engines are borrowed from the Verna, while the six-speed automatic transmission is new. The 1.4-litre U2 CRDi produces 90PS while the 1.6-litre CRDi diesel puts out 128PS.
