Hyundai Innovates Again in the Brazilian SUV Market with the Launch of the New Creta Turbo, Combining a Stunning Design with Revolutionary Engine Technology.

Reinventing itself to not fall behind in sales against the new T-Cross, which will arrive with a facelift soon, the new Hyundai Creta Turbo will bring an updated look and new engine technology to gain an advantage in the segment. The new SUV from the South Korean manufacturer will feature a 1.5 engine.

Hyundai Creta Turbo Promises to ‘Steal’ Leadership from the T-Cross

Being one of the best-selling compact SUVs in Brazil today, even with a different and bold style, the Creta pleases the audience and, now, with a new look, promises to win over customers who previously avoided the model due to its design.

Hyundai has already updated its look in foreign markets, added an even stronger engine, and it arrives in Brazil to steal the leadership in the SUV segment, which is currently led by the Volkswagen T-Cross.

In terms of dimensions, the Hyundai Creta Turbo is a generous compact, measuring 4.30 meters in length, 2.61 meters in wheelbase, 1.79 meters in width, 1.63 meters in height, weighing up to 1,300 kg and accommodating 422 liters of luggage in the trunk.

The Hyundai Creta Turbo that was presented with a facelift in Asia looks less strange than the current version, and just as the brand did with the HB20, the Creta was “fixed” over there. The major difference between the current Brazilian model and the new Asian one lies in the remodeled design and the new engine. The new SUV now features a new grille with chrome triangular elements.

The headlights have also been renewed, and the setup remains divided and full LED. To complement, at the base of the bumper, there is a gray accent. On the sides, nothing too different, maintaining a two-tone paint job, up to 18-inch diamond-cut wheels, and chrome door handles and window trims.

SUV from Hyundai Receives New Engine

In terms of engine, the model that promises to lead the SUV segment is equipped with a new, unprecedented setup. It features a 1.5 Turbo four-cylinder engine that boasts direct fuel injection, and while it only runs on gasoline abroad, it will be flex-fuel in Brazil.

The vehicle delivers 162 horsepower and 24.5 kgfm of torque, capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.1 seconds. Its performance is much better than what’s currently available in the country, and its fuel consumption averages are excellent, reaching 11.9 km/L in the city and 13.2 km/L on the highway.

This new engine will replace the 2.0 aspirated flex that in Brazil offers 166 horsepower and 20.6 kgfm of torque, coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Despite the good performance of the 2.0 here, the new 1.5 from the Hyundai Creta Turbo is significantly more economical.

Regarding the interior, the Hyundai Creta Turbo is one of the best options in its category. The finish is filled with hard plastics; however, there is a significant difference between the plastics in the Creta and the T-Cross in the SUV segment.

Its interior space is pleasant and accommodates up to 5 adults comfortably. In terms of features, the model is extremely well-equipped and comes with a keyless entry system, ventilated front seats, single-zone air conditioning, panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger, electronically folding mirrors, single-zone digital climate control, electronic parking brake, fully configurable digital dashboard, and much more. Its multimedia system stands out with up to 10 inches, featuring a rearview camera, native GPS, connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and much more.
