Hyundai reveals new Creta

New look and new features

Published May 30, 2025 06:58 am
One of the country’s most popular crossovers gets a much needed makeover. Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) took the wraps off the new Creta. For the first time, it is now also available with an N Line variant. The 2025 Creta sports a bolder look, embodying Hyundai’s design language, “Sensuous Sportiness.”
The new Creta
The most noticeable change is the Creta’s new front fascia. It come with a new black chrome Parametric Jewel Grille, signature LED position lamps, and newly designed alloy wheels. It also comes with new sequential turn indicators. Towards the back, the new Creta now flaunts “H”-theme rear combination lamps.
Inside, drivers get a larger all-digital instrument cluster. It has been integrated with the infotainment screen to form one seamless display. Its infotainment screen spans 10.25-inches and presents a high-definition display and smooth graphics. It is also equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and built-in Waze navigation.
Comfort and space are also guaranteed in the cabin, with ventilated front seats, generous head and leg room for all passengers, and a large cargo space of 433-L up to 1,401L with fold-flat seats, adjustable to the user's needs.
Like its predecessor, safety is also one of the Creta’s strong points. It is loaded with an upgraded Hyundai SmartSense suite – including the Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Blind Spot View Monitor, Reverse Parking Distance Warning, and Surround View Monitor among other assistance systems under this suite of technologies.
Creta N Line
Following the introduction of Hyundai’s performance upgrades in the all-new Elantra, the N Line trim is now also available in the Creta, perfectly suited for those seeking a sportier ride.
It’s not just aesthetics. The N Line variant sports a serious performance upgrade. Under the hood, the new Creta N Line is powered by a 1.5L Turbo GDI Engine, delivering 160-PS of power and 253-Nm of torque for snappy acceleration. For a more engaging drive, it is paired with a seven-speed DCT transmission. Drive and Traction Control is also added to help reign in the extra power.
This version of the Creta shows off an N Line exclusive badge and accents, boasts more aggressive bumpers and dual exhaust tips, and rolls on a set of new 18-inch alloy wheels. A new rear spoiler exclusive to the N Line also tops off the Creta N Line’s upgrades.
Inside, the new Creta N Line can be distinguished by its three-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters, red ambient mood lamp, and red interior accents (even on the seats).
The new Creta innovations make it more than just a facelift but a substantial upgrade from its predecessor.
“Hyundai Motor Philippines is proud to continually diversify its line-up. As we launch the new Creta, we want to keep pushing for our vision to provide not just innovative mobility solutions, but more so, a vehicle line-up that caters to the needs of every Filipino and becoming their best partner on the road,” said Hyundai Motor Philippines President Jiho Son.
