Hyundai Creta Revealed: An ix25 By Any Other Name…

Hyundai's new global compact SUV, the Creta, has been officially revealed as production starts up in Chennai, India.

As predicted, it's externally identical to the Chinese-market ix25 that went on sale last year. The engine lineup - at least for India - is different with a 1.6 litre turbo diesel 1.4 diesel and 1.6 litre petrol offered, rather than the Chinese-market's 2.0 litre petrol.

The 1.6 petrol engine pushes out 90kW of power and is mated to a six-speed manual, while the 1.6 diesel makes 94kW and comes with the option of a six speed manual or a six speed auto gearbox.
