• height – 1630 mm;

Suspension and drive

When studying the technical characteristics of the Hyundai Creta, special attention should be paid to the type of drive. On all trim levels except one option from the Comfort series, it is front-facing. In practice, drivers note that when hitting road bumps, passengers in the rear seats still feel some discomfort.

A little ideology

Considering the dimensions of the 2021 Hyundai Greta, the car is very convenient for driving on city streets. Don't forget that the turning radius is only 5.2 meters. At the same time, a ground clearance of 190 mm allows you to turn off the highway and drive on serious off-road conditions without fear, although in comparison with the Renault Duster the Korean's ground clearance is at least 105 mm less.
The key factor in the popularity of the crossover can be called complete adaptation to Russian weather and road conditions. The results of this adaptation are considered to be:

• Increased energy intensity of the suspension due to recalibration of the shock absorber valves.
• Upgraded suspension tuning that provides directional stability and stability.
• Large margin of safety of the body due to the introduction of additional welding points and integrated structural reinforcements.

In recent years, Korean C-class SUVs have grown in size, both in external parameters and in internal volume. The current Creta concept is all about functionality and versatility, and while it is still smaller than its Renault rivals, the Duster and Kaptur, the SUV's interior is quite spacious. Despite this, the modest dimensions of the Hyundai Creta allow passengers to travel in the back seat without any problems.

As for those who are used to traveling with luggage, a volume of 420 liters is quite enough. If this is not enough, you can fold down the rear seat backs. The lack of roof rails in basic trim levels is somewhat disappointing, but judging by the sales analysis, Russians prefer to buy trim levels at a higher level.
