Hyundai Motor Company today unveiled its first rendering of the upcoming Creta, sub-compact SUV.
The design of Hyundai Creta follows a premium look, based on Hyundai Motor’s evolved design philosophy. Harmony between a bold front, voluminous side, sporty rear and other details complete the premium sub-compact SUV design.

The name Hyundai Creta derives primarily from the name for Crete, the largest of the Greek islands.
Situated in the Mediterranean Sea, Crete was the focal point for Greece’s global prowess in trade and culture, in its heyday connecting Europe, Asia and Africa.
Creta will be an influential global model for the Hyundai Motor brand in one of the fastest-growing vehicle segments, helping the company to reach out to many more consumers in new and establish

6 commentsOK, one question. Till now i have heard many and many times, that ix25 is not for Europe, and US & Europe will get other crossover, based on Intrado. Ix25 is for China and India only. Now suddenly is for China, India (with new name), but probably for the rest of the world - Australia, US and Europe as well. One word to describe it - shortcut - why bother and develop new car for 2 more years and lots of millions, if you can make some minor changes. like grill, lights etc. and say that you have completely new car for Europe and US. Of course save features must be fixed, but it can be done and... Brand new Hyundai Creta for Europe! Taaaaraaaaaa.
Denis - i agree 100% and this is exactly what i would do! Launch Creta in Europe this september in Frankfurt. My post was to show the diffrences between what they should do and have finally decided to do, and their official language till now (not based on ix25, will be based on Intrado, in 2-3 years). For me it was very strange, but it was official line of HMC. Now "turnaround 180" which i think is good, but reliability of Hyundai can suffer...
in my mind it's just a name changing to Creta over the chinease ix 25 they rebadge with an upgrade interior and engine/gearbox and ship to europe and northAm from china! big deal whynot ?
A 1.6 GDi or 2.0 GDi petrol engine and 2 or 3 eprouved CRDi diesel engines for european and 6/7 speeds AWD tranny is sufficiently improved to be marketed with no beginners flaws from Hyundai.
"A 1.6 GDi or 2.0 GDi petrol engine"-
