New Hyundai Creta Facelift Acceleration Test

We were driving the new Creta as a part of the media drive. Our team got an opportunity to experience the engine out on an open stretch of road to test its acceleration. We switched off the Traction Control to ensure maximum performance. The SUV was in Sport Mode. In our test, the Creta facelift was able to complete the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 9 seconds. That is quite impressive. Since it has the most powerful engine in this segment, such performance is expected. Still, this puts it into a league of its own. The new mill from the Korean carmaker is specifically designed to cater to performance enthusiasts. That is the case with Verna, as well as the Creta.
