The Hyundai Creta, also known as Hyundai ix25 in China, is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Hyundai since 2014 mainly for emerging markets, particularly BRICS. It is positioned above the Venue and below the Tucson in Hyundai's SUV line-up.
The first-generation model debuted as a near-production concept car in China in April 2014, while the second generation was first introduced in 2019. The second-generation model was also available in a longer derivative with three-row seating, which is known as the Hyundai Alcazar, Creta Grand or Grand Creta. The vehicle has been manufactured in China, India, Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia. For developed markets like South Korea, the United States, Canada, EU/EFTA/EEA countries (with the exception of the French overseas collectivities of French Polynesia [1] and New Caledonia [2] ), Singapore and Australia, the Creta is not offered in favour of the more advanced Kona. [3] [4]
The model was named after the Crete island in Greece. [5] The name is also intended to suggest connections with "creative". [6] In the Dominican Republic, it is sold as the Hyundai Cantus. [7]
The Creta was the best-selling SUV in Russia from 2017 until 2021. [8] [9] [10] It is also the highest-selling SUV in India since 2020, [11] and the third best-selling Hyundai model globally since 2019. [12]

Intended to be a global model for emerging markets, the vehicle debuted at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show in April 2014 in a near-production concept guise called the ix25 Concept. [17] [18] The production version went on sale in China in October 2014. [19] The model was later also rolled out for production in India, where it went on sale in July 2015 as the Creta. The Creta is based on the Hyundai's new design concept called the Fluidic Sculpture 2.0. [20]
The production model had its premiere at Chengdu in August 2014, and it went on sale in China two months later. [21] [22] [23] The ix25 for the Chinese market is available with 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre petrol engines mated either to a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission.

The Creta went on sale in India on 21 July 2015, produced at the Chennai plant. At launch, the Creta is available in a choice of three engines — a 1.6-litre petrol, a 1.4 or a 1.6-litre diesel from the Verna. A 6-speed manual transmission will be standard across all variants, with only the 1.6 diesel SX+ variant getting the option of a 6-speed automatic. The engine options was spread to six trim levels, which are Base, S, S+, SX, SX+ and the top-spec SX (O). [25]

The six airbag system provides all round protection. One for the driver, one for the front seat passenger, front and rear curtain airbags running the length of the cabin, plus front side airbags. Hyundai also claimed the vehicle is built with HIVE body structure, which signifies structural strength.
By November 2015, the vehicle has registered over 70,000 bookings in India and 15,770 worldwide. [27] By August 2017, more than 200,000 Creta was sold in the country. [28]
In 2017, the vehicle contains about 90% Indian parts. [29]
The Creta was launched in Brazil in December 2016 with deliveries started in January 2017. [30] The Brazilian Creta is produced in Piracicaba plant alongside the HB20, with the codename GSb.
Engine options offered are the 1.6-litre Gamma petrol engine which produces 130 PS (96 kW; 128 hp) and 16.5 kg⋅m (162 N⋅m; 119 lb⋅ft) of torque, and the new 2.0-litre Nu petrol engine capable of 166 PS (122 kW; 164 hp) and 20.5 kg⋅m (201 N⋅m; 148 lb⋅ft), both with double variable valve timing, start-stop engine system, and ethanol-compatible. Both engines are paired with 6-speed automatic transmission, with the 1.6-litre also offered with 6-speed manual transmission. [31]

[32] The assembly of the car takes place on the same production line of the plant along with the Solaris model. The model is claimed to be specially adapted for Russian conditions. It is sold in three trim levels, with two choices of petrol engines: 1.6-litre capable of 123 PS (90 kW; 121 hp) and 2.0-litre with 149 PS (110 kW; 147 hp) of power output, with front or all-wheel drive.
