What owners and experts like about the Hyundai Creta
Engine refinement
Generally positivebased on 5 reviews
“You can cruise along the highway at 100 km/h while the engine spins at a relaxed ~1,800 rpm. Even at 120 km/h, the engine felt relaxed with the rev counter reading ~2,200 rpm.”
Dashboard layout
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“Instrument cluster is high-definition, a lot of data that is very well put, and you don't really struggle to find out where is what. Same goes with the touchscreen. The UX/UI is extremely user-friendly.”
Where the Hyundai Creta falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Fit & finish
Generally negativebased on 11 reviews
“this is not the highest grade of quality that we've seen from Hyundai... while this surface looks like it's leather it is very clearly plastic and Plastics lower down are also quite scratchy”
Drivetrain reliability
Generally negativebased on 5 reviews
“we did notice that the gearbox got a little confused on a few instances while driving through some traffic. There was also an instance where the gearbox upshifted on its own when coming down a slope without any throttle input.”
Rear seat space
Mixed reviewsbased on 8 reviews
“Vid6639 (6'1") had just about enough room behind his driving position ... Legroom for Vid6639 (6'1") with the front seat adjusted to his driving position was tight.”
