Hyundai Creta Engine Production
The Creta gets 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and 1.4-litre turbo petrol engines

Now that we are done with the body shop, we go to the engine shop to see how the 1.5 diesel is made. This engine is BS6-compliant and is shared with Kia Seltos. After the engine is completely assembled, it passes through the express vision system which detects the presence of external parts in the engine assembly. As many as 45 items are checked within a minute.

Finally, we go to the assembly shop where the cars are assembled. First the bodyshell is painted and then various components are fitted. The wiring harness is laid out, the trims are installed, parts like the antenna and lights are installed, the engine is fitted and then the entire cabin is put together. Once the car is ready, it goes to the PDI section of the plant.

This is the PDI section where plant staff examine every car with an exhaustive checklist

At the PDI section, all the cars are checked thoroughly. There’s a checklist of 150-200 points that Hyundai’s staff has to follow and they meticulously check every car before giving it the go ahead. Once the cars are good to go, they’re driven out of the shop for a road test where they are driven on 17 drive tracks within Hyundai’s plant. The cars are then parked in the stockyard. Soon, the cars get shipped to various dealers and are delivered to their respective buyers.
