Hyundai Grand Creta Revealed For South Africa

Hyundai recently took the wraps off the Grand Creta for South Africa. The company’s new SUV for South Africa is very similar to the Alcazar sold in India. Like a few other Hyundai products, the Grand Creta will be made-in-India and will be exported to South Africa. Essentially, an export version of the Alcazar sold in India, the Grand Creta is 200mm longer than the standard 5-seat SUV and has a 150mm longer wheelbase, allowing for an additional third-row of seats.The Hyundai Grand Creta will be available in two trims namely, Executive and Elite. The Elite trim comes with equipment such as a 360-degree camera, a 10.2-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and 17-inch wheels.The SUV is identical to the India-spec Alcazar in terms of styling and specifications. Some of the exterior details include trio beam automatic LED headlamps, LED fog lamps, LED tail lamps, and twin-tip exhaust. It also offers the same set of features. Standard features include ABS with EBD, ESC, VSM, HAC, TPMS, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, rear parking camera, and ISOFIX mounts. One difference between the Grand Creta and the Alcazar is that the Grand Creta comes with a beige and black dual-tone interior whereas the Alcazar comes with a cognac brown theme with piano black inserts.South African buyers can opt for either a 159hp, 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine or a 115hp, 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine. A 6-speed manual gearbox will come as standard but buyers can opt for a 6-speed torque-converter automatic.
