The Hyundai CRETA has a new sleek design made to stand out on the road while still delivering on performance and practicality required of modern city journeys and beyond.
First introduced in the Philippines in 2022, the subcompact SUV became known as an entry point to Hyundai’s SUV range with its dimensions and features that strike the right balance between a roomy SUV and the practicality of a sedan. 2025 sees the introduction of a new and improved version of the Hyundai CRETA.
The new Hyundai CRETA imposes itself on the road with a striking exterior design featuring a Black Chrome Parametric Radiator Grille, and Daytime Running Lights (DRL). It comes in Slate Blue Pearl, Magnetic Silver, Midnight Black Pearl, and Creamy White Pearl finishes.
There’s even more exterior duo tone colors to choose from for the sportier Hyundai CRETA N Line: Shadow Gray + Midnight Black Pearl Roof, Dragon Red Pearl + Midnight Black Pearl Roof, and Creamy White Pearl + Midnight Black Pearl Roof.
Turbocharged and Unstoppable
Innovations don’t stop on the outside for this SUV. Inside, Hyundai has dialed up its functionalities to make it an even more efficient ride that can withstand everyday city drives with occasional long drives. The new Hyundai CRETA is powered by a 1.5 turbocharged engine with a 7-speed DCT and Drive Mode that adjusts to your driving style.
Eco mode adjusts the engine and transmission to maximize fuel efficiency. Normal/Comfort mode, meanwhile, is for those looking for a balanced and smooth driving experience. Finally, Sport mode comes with sharper throttle response and faster gear shifts for an engaging drive.
The Hyundai CRETA comes in four iterations: 1.5L gasoline engine with Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), 1.5 GLS IVT, 1.5 Premium IVT, and 1.5L Turbo N Line with seven-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission.
One for the Road
The Hyundai CRETA has always been synonymous with uncompromising style and functionality that fuels spirited individuals driven to accomplish more. This vehicle is your all-around partner in navigating the city with all-new features to make your driving experience a breeze: fully digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment high-definition screen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and built-in Waze Navigation system.
Its advanced driver‑assistance system, Hyundai SmartSense suite, has also been upgraded to aid in safety. Features such as smart cruise control, forward collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and a surround view monitor ensure ease of maneuvering in tight spaces and packed roads. This is on top of standard safety features in all Hyundai models, which include front airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Hill-Start Assist, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, rear sensors, and rearview camera.
The vehicle’s interiors have also been refined to further make any distance a pleasurable journey when driving the Hyundai CRETA. Plush black leatherette upholstery covers the cabin with seats padded with another layer to keep passengers cool. Its comfort is made to match the unstoppable performance of a revamped future classic.
With its upgraded features and future-proof capabilities, the Hyundai CRETA solidifies its footing as a solid option for those looking for a reliable ride to bring them wherever their goals might take them.
