Hyundai Creta (Korean: 현대 크레타), also known as Hyundai ix25 and, in the Dominican Republic, Hyundai Cantus, is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Beijing Hyundai, a joint venture by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai and China's Beijing Group from 2014. It was first seen as a thinly veiled "concept" at Auto China (in Beijing), April 2014. The production model had its premier at Chengdu, in August 2014, and it went on sale in China two months later.
In India, the car has three engine variants including the 1.4- and 1.6-litre petrol engines along with 1.6-litre diesel engine with five models for the Creta – Base, S, S+, SX, SX+, SX(O). Each model has a specific set of features which distinguishes it from the others and comes in seven colours.
The ix25 is based on the Hyundai-Kia platform that underpins the Kia Soul, Hyundai i30, Hyundai Elantra & Kia Cee'd (among other cars), and is similar to the Kia KX3. In India, where it was scheduled to go on sale on 21 July 2015, it will be badged "Hyundai Creta" after Crete. The name is also intended to suggest connections with "creative". The Creta/ix25 is intended to become a global model. In the Dominican Republic it is badged "Hyundai Cantus" because in said country the word "creta" is used to describe the labia minora.
The Creta has a powerful engine which comes in three variants. Each of these are present in different models.
The chinese and brazilian market gets two petrol engines, of 1.6 or 2.0 litres. In India, the car is available with 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines. Also in Brazil, both engines runs with ethanol.
The Creta has safety features including Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hillstart Assist Control (HAC), Rear Parking Assist System, and Anti-Lock braking system(ABS) . The Hive body structure signifies structural strength. 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. The car's Electronic Stability Control (ESC) feature allows for right amount of braking force to each wheel so that the car doesn't lose direction. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps the car from skidding on slippery roads. Hillstart Assist Control (HAC) prevents rollback during a hill start. This feature automatically detects an incline and hits the brakes as the driver is about to accelerate.
