New Hyundai Creta Jakarta-Lampung Exploration: Its Turbo is Surprising
Katadata OTO Rating:

Powerful, feature-rich, and easy to set up, with an excellent riding position.

The turbo spools up at 1,500 rpm, and the power feels excessive at low speeds.

It should be noted that the car's rpm at idle is 1,000. So, the pulling sensation is quite noticeable even when the gas pedal is just lightly touched.

Overall, the main difference lies in the engine configuration. The exterior is not much different; there are additional N Line emblems on the grille, seat ornaments, and transmission lever for the variants above Prime.

In addition, other supporting features like Bose speakers and an electrically operated sunroof are included in all types of the new Hyundai Creta.

Conclusion

If you prioritize driving comfort and a more affordable price tag, you can consider the Hyundai Creta Prime. The suspension feels softer, and it is already equipped with modern features, including a sunroof.

If you like an aggressive look, the Creta N Line option is available. Lastly, there is the Creta N Line Turbo for those who are looking for a fun and powerful driving sensation.

From a female driver's perspective, the turbo response is quite surprising at low speeds. However, this could be an added value for speed enthusiasts.
