Good To Great

What do you do when you have a bestseller on your hands. Well, just enough – but not too much really…

Good To Great

Sticking to the cardinal rule, ‘never change a winning formula,’ Hyundai has successfully managed to enhance the Creta without changing what it essentially is – an urban SUV.

A touch of opulence

The Creta has always been a looker, and now, with a nip-and-tuck job, Hyundai has managed to give it a refreshed look. The first thing that grabs your attention is the new wider and more prominent front grill. The new cascade design of the grill comes with a metal finish frame, which does a good job of reminding us of a certain German luxury car manufacturer.

Overall, it manages to add a bit more oomph to the SUV’s exterior design. And even though the design of the headlamps remains the same as the previous model, the Korean manufacturer has smartly rejigged the layout of the Bi- functional Projector headlamps. The LED daytime running lights (DRLs), on the other hand, have been pushed down to the front bumper, where the fog lamps are housed. The addition of beefed-up faux skid plates at the front and the rear further enhances the rugged look of the Creta.
