Hyundai has succeeded in creating a lot of buzz for the upcoming SUV Creta. The ix25-based vehicle is the first compact SUV from the Korean automaker’s stable. The Creta will be launched in India on 21st July while its production will begin on 20th June. The SUV will be competing directly with the Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano along with Maruti’s upcoming offering, the S-Cross, which too will be launched in July. By positioning the vehicle at a good price point and also equipping it with a long feature list, Hyundai is betting big on capturing the market here.
The official website of the Hyundai Creta has now gone live and can be accessed HERE. The website does not list down features or engine details of the SUV and neither does it carry proper images of the vehicle. We can see an official sketch of the front quarters of the Creta while another sketch of the interiors has also been included. The Creta is very nicely designed and looks like a smaller sibling of the Santa Fe. The interiors also carry an attractive design which feels very European.
