JEDDAH — Hyundai is keen to meet the needs and wishes of its customers, and has recently launched the updated version of Hyundai Creta 2020, a model well-established as one of the most successful compact crossovers available. Popular with the young generation and small families wishing to own an economic SUV, the new-look Creta also boasts great features and unique additions.
The new Hyundai Creta’s styling mirrors the brand’s European-look design language, which gives an impression of quality and durability. The interior gives the passengers a sense of spaciousness and quality at the same time. The most striking features of the new Creta are the styling cues that give it a bold, powerful and sporty look, in addition to the daytime running lights that reflect Hyundai’s technological development.
In addition to the vehicle interior being built based on the modern comfort concept, the updated Creta hosts loads of safety and convenience features. These include automatic light control, adjustable steering, smart key, engine start/stop button, adjustable internal rear-view mirror to avoid annoying high-beam lights, automatic cruise control, and many more.
Hyundai has focused heavily on the passengers’ comfort and convenience and aimed to meet their practical needs. The new Creta can comfortably accommodate up to five passengers, and has distinctive storage spaces, including an easily foldable rear seat for greater carrying capacity when needed. The rear seats are also equipped with special air conditioning for added comfort for rear passengers.
In terms of performance, Hyundai Creta 2020 is available in the Saudi market with a 1.6-litre petrol that produces 123 hp and 15.4 kg.m of torque, paired to a six-speed automatic gearbox engine. It uses a torque converter and state-of-the-art electronic control technology to deliver more fuel-efficient performance, especially with its dynamic design and light weight. The new vehicle also features a front and rear suspension that offers unprecedented levels of stability and sturdiness on the roads and turns.
In terms of safety features, Hyundai has enhanced the body structure to provide exceptional durability, in order to achieve the highest levels of passenger safety. Ultra high-strength steel accounts for 22 percent of the total steel used in the vehicle. The Creta has safety features, including Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hillstart Assist Control (HAC), Rear Parking Assist System, and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The Hive body structure signifies structural strength. The six airbag system provides all-round protection. There are front airbags for the driver and the front seat passenger, front and rear curtain airbags running the length of the cabin, plus front side airbags.
