Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) unveiled last week its new Creta subcompact SUV, which for the first time, is now available in a turbocharged N Line flagship variant.
The Creta made its global debut in 2014 and was first introduced to the Philippine market in 2022. Now sporting a bolder look and embodying Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design language, the Creta, whose prices start at PHP1,134,000, is set to be an even more compelling choice for those looking for both visual and dynamic excitement.
On the outside, the new Creta sports a redesigned front end with a new black chrome Parametric Jewel grille, signature LED DRLs, and new alloy wheels. Its new sequential turn Indicators also deliver unique signalling to grab the attention of other drivers on the road. The revamped rear end flaunts the “H”-theme taillamps, which offer better visibility while establishing a distinctive road presence.
Inside, a larger all-digital instrument cluster has been integrated. Its infotainment screen spans 10.25” 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 come from ventilated front seats, generous head and leg room for all passengers, and a large cargo space of 433L up to 1,401L with fold-flat rear seats.
The new Creta is equipped with multiple safety features to ensure peace of mind on the road. It’s loaded with an upgraded Hyundai SmartSense – 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 driver-assist systems.

Following its introduction in the all-new Elantra, the N Line trim is also now available in the Creta for those seeking a sportier ride.
Under the hood, the new Creta N Line is powered by a 1.5L turbo GDI engine, delivering 160ps and 253Nm of torque for quick acceleration and a more engaging drive and is paired with a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
This version of the Creta shows off an N Line exclusive badge and accents, boasts more aggressive bumpers and dual exhaust tips, and is fitted with new 18” alloy wheels. A new rear spoiler also gives the Creta N Line a more captivating look.
Inside, the Creta N Line features a sporty 3-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters, Drive and Traction Control, red ambient mood lamp, and red interior accents.

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,” says Hyundai Motor Philippines President Jiho Son.
