Hyundai Creta

Safety

The Hyundai Creta combines modern technology with smart engineering to deliver a safe and comfortable driving experience across the UAE’s diverse roads. On the active safety front, the Creta is equipped with features such as Anti lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), offering drivers increased confidence behind the wheel. Practical features like rear parking sensors and a rearview camera further enhance driver awareness in daily driving conditions.

In terms of passive safety, the Creta features a reinforced body built with high strength steel. Upper trims come with up to six airbags, including front and side units, providing comprehensive protection in case of an accident. This combination of structural integrity and safety systems ensures peace of mind whether driving solo or with family.

Vehicle Purchase Cost

The starting price for the Hyundai Creta in the UAE is approximately AED 74,000 for the base model. With financing options, a 20 percent down payment (around AED 14,800), and a 60 month repayment period at an annual interest rate of 1.9 percent, the estimated monthly installment is about AED 1,056. This makes it a practical and budget friendly crossover option for many buyers.

Looking at long term value, the Creta performs well in resale, with used models averaging AED 50,000 after three years. This equates to a retention rate of around 68 percent, reinforcing its position as a smart investment for ownership or resale.

Running Costs

The Hyundai Creta is powered by an efficient engine with an average fuel consumption of about 6.1 liters per 100 kilometers. Assuming an annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers (roughly 1,300 kilometers per month) and a fuel price of AED 3 per liter (as of the time of writing), the estimated monthly fuel cost is around AED 238, and the yearly fuel cost totals approximately AED 2,850.

For maintenance, the Creta is designed with affordable servicing in mind. Routine checks are scheduled every 10,000 kilometers or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Service costs typically range from AED 400 to AED 600 per visit, depending on the work required. This makes Creta’s upkeep predictable and reasonably priced, ensuring stress free ownership over the years.
