2022 Hyundai Creta Facelift 5 Star Safety
India is one of the top-five most important automotive markets in the world. With an immense population, need for transportation is ever obvious. Trend of owning a personal vehicle is getting very high as well. Maruti Suzuki is the #1 carmaker in India, followed by Hyundai at #2. Both these manufacturers often face some slack for not prioritising crashworthiness of a vehicle.
Recently, Hyundai Creta SUV and recently launched Stargazer MPV were crash tested by ASEAN NCAP which yielded interesting results. For one, Creta scores 5 stars and Stargazer scores 4 stars in ASEAN crash testing analysis. Both of these vehicles were manufactured in 2022, specifically for Indonesia.
