4 months ago | 64 Views
Hyundai Creta is one of the bestselling SUVs in India for a long time. The mid-size SUV received a major facelift earlier this year when the South Korean auto giant introduced a revamped iteration of the Creta in January 2024. Since then, in just six months, the Creta facelift has registered more than one lakh unit sales. On average, the Hyundai Creat facelift sold more than 550 units every day.
The Indian passenger vehicle market which has traditionally been known for being driven by small cars, has witnessed the rise of SUVs and crossovers at a large scale over the last couple of years. Creta is one of these models that has become successful and a leading revenue churner for the automaker. Hyundai's brand value and the premium image of the OEM have also played a key role in the success of Creta.
Here's a quick look at the Hyundai Creta.

Hyundai Creta: Powertrain
At a time when several major carmakers in India are shying away from diesel engines, Hyundai Creta is offering a plethora of powertrains including both petrol and diesel options. The SUV gets three different engine options, a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol motor and a 1.5-litre diesel motor as well. The naturally aspirated petrol engine suits the requirements of regular buyers, while the turbocharged engine is for those who seek a bit more extra from their car. The diesel engine is a perfectly balanced powertrain considering those buyers who seek more torquey performance.
