Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) officially unveils the new Creta, and for the first time, is now available in the N Line variant.
The Creta made its global debut back in 2014, and was first introduced to the Philippine market in 2022.
Now, the new Creta sports a bolder look, embodying Hyundai’s design language, “Sensuous Sportiness.” Making it an eyecatcher on the road through every ride. On the outside, the new Creta comes with a redesigned front fascia: a new black chrome Parametric Jewel Grille, signature LED position lamps, and is fitted with newly designed alloy wheels. Its new Sequential Turn Indicators also deliver unique signaling to grab the attention of other drivers on the road. Moving on to the back, the new Creta has been revamped, flaunting the “H”-theme rear combination lamps, which offer better visibility overall establishing a distinctively stylish road presence.
Inside, a larger all-digital instrument cluster has been integrated, compared to its predecessor. Its infotainment screen spans 10.25-inch which presents a high-definition display and smooth graphics, also equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in Waze navigation.
Comfort and space are also guaranteed in the cabin with ventilated front seats, generous head and leg room for all passengers, and a large cargo space of 433 liters up to 1,401 liters with fold-flat seats, adjustable to the needs of its user.
Furthermore, the new Creta is equipped with multiple safety features to ensure peace of mind on the road. It is loaded with an upgraded Hyundai SmartSense, including the Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Blind Spot View Monitor, Reverse Parking Distance Warning, and Surround View Monitor among other assistance systems under this suite of technologies.
Following its introduction in the all-new Elantra, the N Line trim is also now available in the Creta for those seeking a sportier ride.
Under the hood, the new Creta N Line is powered by a 1.5-liter Turbo GDI Engine, delivering 160 horsepower and 253 Nm of torque for a snappy acceleration and a more engaging drive and is paired with a 7-Speed DCT transmission.
This version of the Creta shows off an N Line exclusive badge and accents, boasts more aggressive bumpers and dual exhaust tips, and is rigged with a set of new 18-inch alloy wheels. A new rear spoiler exclusive for the N Line also gives the Creta a more captivating look.
Inside, the new Creta N Line has been refreshed with a more modern feel. A 3-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters, Drive and Traction Control, red ambient mood lamp, and red interior accents are exclusive to the N Line—all of which give the new Creta a more athletic touch.
The new Hyundai Creta has several innovations that make it a substantial upgrade. It is smart and stylish, complementing the lifestyle and needs of young Filipinos. “Hyundai Motor Philippines is proud to continually diversify its line-up. As we launch the new Creta, we want to keep pushing for our vision to provide not just innovative mobility solutions, but more so, a vehicle line-up that caters to the needs of every Filipino and becoming their best partner on the road,” says Mr. Jiho Son, Hyundai Motor Philippines President.

No brainer for the N-Line, no reason to get that overpriced Xforce
ReplyDeleteN-Line with dual airbags and 4 speakers for its audio system only?
DeleteNo thanks!
Hyundai GDI engines are known to be unreliable.
and jack up the price like Xforce? turbo engine is already good for that price. seems like you got issues with Hyundai but not other brands
DeleteThey deleted the panoramic roof and bose speakers. Yaris cross and the chinese suvs will eat this. Not saying those are better.
ReplyDeleteDead on Arrival.
ReplyDeleteN line the best, another blow to already low sales china car brands here in ph.
ReplyDeleteDual Airbags on all variants AGAIN
ReplyDeleteBad move by Hyundai
Sir uly, the max torque says about the transmission and not the exact figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out. Corrected that.
DeletePriced very well, quite competitive against the Chinese offerings! Thisakes the Xforce look even more overpriced.
ReplyDeleteXForce GLS can be bought at 1.4 Million Pesos
DeleteMitsubishi XForce GLS got much more premium audio system,6 airbags and much more reliable engine
lol with that 1.5L NA engine, overpriced AF which are worthless than a turbo engine
DeleteHyundai Creta's competitors are Toyota Yaris Cross, Nissan Kicks, Mazda CX3, Chevrolet Tracker and MG ZS.
DeleteWhile Mitsubishi XForce's competitors are Honda HRV, Mazda CX30, Chevrolet Trailblazer and Geely Coolray
by what standard? theyre all in the same segment with same sizes
Delete1.4M for a turbo non-chinese subcompact SUV is a steal. I remembered the HRV turbo was 1.65M
ReplyDeleteVentilated seats on a 1.3M suv is insane
ReplyDeleteIts still ugly. But a whole lot better than the previous model.
ReplyDelete4 speaker audio system even in the top of the line? Was expecting atleast 6 in the base model
ReplyDeleteThis and the Elantra are disadvantaged by the lack of airbags. I hope Hyundai fixes these and also introduce the Accent with sufficient airbags.
ReplyDeleteairbag more important than the turbo engine?
DeleteHyundai GDI turbocharged engines aren't that reliable
DeleteAmerican Kia and Hyundai owners from America know that
Its only us who care about engines. Most buyers in this segment and above want features, six airbags, adas, panoramic roof, branded speakers, seats with gimmicks etc. Its the reality, even toyota has them on the yaris cross.
DeleteThe other side of the coin has the toyota buyers, will buy them no matter how cheap they are because of perceived reliability even tho they are all daihatsus full of defects.
Made in india?
ReplyDeleteIndonesia.
DeleteThe Creta N Line is a no brainer choice. However, the Kia Sonet is way better than the Creta non-turbo variants, the former is more affordable plus it has more features. The Creta Premium is disappointing since at that price, it still has no Hyundai Smart Sense, the Stargazer is more practical choice.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Changan CS35 Plus now
ReplyDeleteIt might look good on paper believe me, but a turbo GDI is a pain in the ass to maintain in yhe long run. Been there, done that.
