What drives the Hyundai Creta among the best-selling SUVs?
The Hyundai Creta’s leadership in April coincides with important changes in the 2027 line. One of the main novelties was the return of the Action version, aimed at the PCD (people with disabilities) public. With this, the model now has six versions available in the Brazilian market.
Among the factors that help explain the performance are:
- Expansion of the range of versions “`html
- Updates in the engine
- Diversified pricing strategy
- Technological equipment in different configurations
Additionally, the model retains characteristics already known to the public, which contributes to its acceptance.
Engine changes mark a new phase for the Hyundai Creta
A significant change in the 2027 line involves the engine of the more expensive versions. The 1.6 turbo engine is no longer exclusively gasoline and has become flex-fuel. This change was made to comply with the federal government’s Mover Program regulations.
However, the new configuration brought a reduction in power:
- Before: 193 hp with gasoline
- Now: 176 hp with gasoline and 173 hp with ethanol
The torque remains at 27 kgfm, available from 1,500 rpm. According to the manufacturer, the current calibration allows the engine to deliver more power with gasoline, which is uncommon in flex-fuel vehicles.
Versions and prices of the Hyundai Creta
The updated SUV line offers different price ranges and equipment. Here’s how it is organized:
