The new Hyundai Creta is one of the most interesting options in the highly competitive subcompact crossover segment. Its starting price of P1.134 million could be enough to hook car buyers, with three higher variants for them to consider.
However, the pricing of those other configurations gets a bit tricky. This is most evident in the Creta Premium, which comes in at P1.333 million. That makes it about P199,000 more than the entry-level variant, and that entails a leather-wrapped interior, a bigger infotainment display, and advanced driver-assist systems. Power and performance remain as is, which leads us to the top-spec Creta N Line.
For just P1.379 million, or P46,000 more, this Creta gets a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and N Line styling across its shell and throughout the interior. It sounds like a sensible upgrade, but where does that leave the Creta Premium?
