2. The DCT Transmission

   

   The old generation Creta came with just two transmission options: a 6-speed Manual and a torque converter Automatic. But the all-new Creta gets much more than just the 6-speed MT. It gets the CVT which Hyundai calls the Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). And on the top of that, the Turbo-Petrol engine comes paired to a 7-speed DCT transmission. Things just got much better! No?

3. Better Cabin Space

   

   It’s not only the performance that just got better. The 2020 Hyundai Creta is better on space too! The new generation of Creta is bigger and wider than the previous one.
