Hyundai Creta in short
The Creta is India's best-selling midsize SUV and the benchmark the Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara and VW Taigun are measured against. The 2024 facelift brought a bold new face, twin 10.25-inch screens, Level 2 ADAS and a 158 bhp turbo-petrol flagship. Its unmatched powertrain spread — petrol, turbo and diesel with multiple automatics — is central to its dominance.
