Planning To Buy A Used Hyundai Creta? Here Are Things You Must Consider First
If you are planning to buy a Creta, but are on a tight budget, we would suggest going for a used one. However, before you start looking for a pre-owned Hyundai Creta, here are some pros and cons you must consider first.
The Hyundai Creta is one of the most popular compact SUVs in India. First launched in 2015, the Creta has time and again taken the top spot as the country's best-selling SUV, and even today it is among the Top 3. Last year, Hyundai launched the second-gen Creta, with a major visual makeover and a host of new creature comforts and tech. However, with that, the SUV has also seen a considerable price hike. So, if you are planning to buy a Creta, but are on a tight budget, we would suggest going for a used one. However, before you start looking for a pre-owned Hyundai Creta, here are some pros and cons you must consider first.
The old Creta used to come with a set of powerful petrol and diesel engines, and both offer great performance.
Pros
While looks are subjective, we feel the Hyundai Creta is certainly a handsome-looking SUV. Select variants also get features like - projector headlamps, LED DRLs, alloy wheels and LED taillamps.
The Creta has always been a feature-packed SUV. Depending on the variant you will get a touchscreen display, ventilated seats, electric sunroof, rear parking camera, auto headlamps, and more.
The old Creta used to come with a set of powerful petrol and diesel engines, and both offer great performance. You will get both manual and automatic options, and the SUV has good driving dynamics as well.
Even the old Hyundai Creta gets a host of features including a sunroof, new alloys and more.
Cons
Most features we mentioned above we limited to the top-spec variants. So, if you get a lower variant, chances it will be missing a lot of the aforementioned premium features. The old Creta also didn't get features like - cruise control, cooled glovebox, and driving modes.
While the fit and finish of the old Creta are certainly good even today, in terms of space, it's not the best, especially the rear seat. With the smaller windows and black interior, you might feel a bit claustrophobic.
Even a used Hyundai Creta is not exactly cheap. Due to its high resale value, you won't find a decent quality Creta below Rs. 8 lakh, and for a newer version, the prices could go as high as Rs. 17 lakh even in the used car market.
