​Hyundai CRETA set to redefine SUV experience for Indian drivers

Hyundai’s much-awaited SUV CRETA is based on its next generation and evolved Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 (FS2.0) Design philosophy, which carries forward the highly-acclaimed Fluidic design theme in a more refined manner lending a premium touch. FS 2.0 has achieved an evolution in design by adding class and greater value to its powerful posture.

Adding to the trendy styling of this SUV, it has 17”diamond cut alloy wheels, projector headlamps, LED positioning lamp, static bending, leather seats along with a shark Fin Antenna.

Hyundai has gone beyond styling to make the CRETA a complete hi-tech SUV by equipping it with audio video navigation system (AVN), 5” touchscreen audio system, supervision cluster and smart key with push button start.

The carmaker has also tried to showcase better safety technology by introducing dual airbags, side curtain airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), reverse parking camera, electronic stability control (ESC), vehicle stability management (VSM) as well as hill-start assist control (HAC).

Hyundai's CRETA SUV was unveiled in India on June 27. According to BS Seo, managing director & CEO, HMIL, “The CRETA is the most awaited and aspirational SUV of the year and would be a revolutionary product in the Hyundai portfolio."

Seo further added, "The global SUV CRETA will herald a new chapter in Hyundai Motor India’s success story and will set a new benchmark in the SUV segment of India with unmatched capabilities."

With its CRETA, Hyundai will take on Mahindra & Mahindra, Renault and Nissan in the India’s fast-growing compact SUV market.
