Hyundai Grand Creta Review – A great family car or a compromised SUV?

Looking for a family car on a budget, but with 7 seats? We dig down into the details of the new Hyundai Grand Creta

The Hyundai Grand Creta occupies a curious place on the local market. Thanks to its 7-seat configuration, it doesn’t really have any direct rivals; the Tiguan AllSpace is quite a lot more expensive, the Renault Triber is significantly cheaper, and MPVs such as the Suzuki Ertiga and Toyota Rumion are in a completely different segment.

And then there is the outlier which is proving very popular, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro, which is roughly the same price but on the surface at least, represents “a lot more car” for your money

In this review, our video guy Ciro De Siena tries to make sense of this package from the successful Korean brand. 

We take a detailed tour of the pricing and specification for the Grand Creta, a tour of the cabin, the middle row of seats and the third row of seats, as well as highlight a major issue with the boot space.

We also compare the two engines available in the range and the two trim levels, as well as detail the relevant fuel consumption.
