Hyundai Creta 2025: A Fresh Look for India’s Favorite SUV
The Hyundai Creta has been a household name in India since its debut in 2015, and the 2025 model is here to keep the legacy alive. With over 1.2 million units sold, this mid-size SUV continues to rule the hearts of Indian drivers. The 2025 Creta brings a bold new design, upgraded features, and better fuel efficiency, making it a top choice for families and adventure seekers. Launched in January 2024 with a facelift, this SUV blends style, comfort, and performance to stay ahead in the competitive market.
Striking Design and Color Options
The 2025 Creta sports a modern look based on Hyundai’s ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design. Its front grille is wider, paired with split LED headlamps and a full-width LED light bar that doubles as daytime running lights (DRLs). The side profile features new alloy wheels, while the rear gets updated LED tail lamps and a redesigned bumper. It’s slightly longer by 30 mm, but the width, height, and 2610 mm wheelbase remain the same. Buyers can choose from six monotone colors like Robust Emerald Pearl, Fiery Red, and Titan Grey, plus a dual-tone Atlas White with Black Roof option.
Packed with Premium Features
Hyundai has loaded the 2025 Creta with features to make every drive enjoyable. The cabin boasts a seamless dual 10.25-inch display for infotainment and the driver’s cluster, supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A voice-enabled panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and ventilated front seats add a touch of luxury. The top variants offer an eight-speaker Bose sound system, wireless charging, and a 360-degree camera. New trims like EX(O) and SX Premium bring premium touches like leatherette seats and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat.
Power and Efficiency That Impress
The Creta 2025 offers three engine options to suit different driving needs. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers 115 PS, while the 1.5-liter turbo petrol produces 158 bhp. The 1.5-liter diesel engine, a favorite for its efficiency, gives 116 PS. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, CVT, and a 7-speed DCT for the turbo petrol. The diesel manual variant shines with an ARAI-claimed mileage of 21.8 kmpl, while petrol models offer 17.4 to 18.4 kmpl. Real-world tests show 15-16 kmpl for diesel on highways and around 10-11 kmpl in city traffic.

Safety and Technology at Its Best
Safety is a strong suit for the 2025 Creta, with six airbags, ABS with EBD, and hill-start assist as standard. Higher trims add Level 2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot detection. The 360-degree camera and tire pressure monitoring system make parking and driving easier. While the Creta earned a three-star Global NCAP rating in 2022, its safety features make it a reliable choice. The Creta Electric, launched in January 2025, adds a 51.4 kWh battery with a 407-473 km range, appealing to eco-conscious buyers.
Why Creta Remains India’s Top SUV
Priced between Rs. 11.11 lakh and Rs. 20.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Creta competes with rivals like the Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Tata Harrier. Its blend of style, features, and fuel efficiency keeps it ahead. With 15,786 units sold in June 2025, it was India’s best-selling car that month. Whether it’s city commutes or long road trips, the Creta delivers comfort and reliability. Hyundai’s monsoon service camp until July 20, 2025, offers free check-ups, making ownership even better. The 2025 Creta proves why it’s still the SUV of choice for millions in India.
