Inside, the greatest thing the Creta has going for it is the space on offer. It’s wide enough to accommodate four passengers with ease, as well as a fifth, should the situation so demand. The front seats offer good support and are very comfortable to be in indeed. They are, however, manually adjustable. At the rear, the head-room is good too and the seats, although a bench, offer enough knee-room; lack of space is not going to be an issue, although the thigh support at the rear is not as good as it is at the front. The centre arm-rest is also there to make rear occupants more comfortable when travelling in a group of four. Adjustable head-rests, front and rear, are a highly appreciated inclusion too.
The boot space is also generous and will easily hold the luggage for said family all set for a long weekend. The AT model also exclusively gets a 60:40 split-folding rear seat-back. Other crucial elements include generous cubbyholes and other storage spaces, Bluetooth, as well as a USB port and Aux connectivity. The interior, as expected from Hyundai, is well laid-out and equally well-finished. The black plastic components don’t feel cheap to touch and there is nothing lacklustre about their finish. The steering wheel is positioned at quite an angle, but the driving position isn’t really awkward. A reverse parking camera rounds off the equipment list nicely.
On the safety front, Hyundai have been busy, with the ‘HIVE body structure’ chassis having reinforced the front end, A- and B-pillars and underbody. Our AT model also had one very important inclusion: ISOFIX child-seat anchors; the first in the sub-Škoda Yeti territory. ABS is standard on all variants, as are dual front airbags.
