Since its debut, Hyundai Creta has redefined the segment, combining performance, refinement, cutting-edge features with unparalleled comfort and reliability

One of the outstanding features of Crete’s reputation is its strong focus on safety. Ensuring you and your loved ones are protected has always been Hyundai’s top priority, making the Creta one of the safest options in its class.

Staying ahead in a highly competitive market is a remarkable achievement and Creta’s commitment to safety is one of the core pillars of its enduring success. In this article, we will look at the wide range of active and passive safety features that set the Hyundai Creta apart and make it a benchmark in its segment.

Comprehensive safety features on Hyundai Creta

Demonstrating Hyundai’s dedication to safety, the Creta set a benchmark in its segment by being the first car to offer 6 airbags, which were subsequently standardized across all models. Hyundai’s SmartSense Level-2 ADAS suite is in the spotlight for its advanced driver assistance features, but the Creta’s robust suite of safety features goes well beyond that.

The Creta is equipped with disc brakes on all four wheels and comes with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), ESC (Electronic Stability Control), VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) and TCS ( traction) control system). Apart from the safety equipment, the Creta also includes Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control and Electronic Parking Brake with auto-hold function ensuring enhanced safety and control in various driving conditions.

Hyundai Creta comes with a host of advanced safety features to support the driver on the roads. These include auto-dimming IRVM (interior rear view mirror), TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system), automatic headlights and DRVM (driver rear view monitor). Additionally, BVM (Blind Spot View Monitor) projects camera information directly onto the Creta’s upgraded instrument screen, thereby enhancing driver awareness. Front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree surround-view camera system make parking easier and safer.

The Creta has a carefully engineered and reinforced monocoque structure designed to deflect impact forces away from the cab, ensuring the safety of all occupants. All models come standard with 6 airbags, three-point seat belts and seat belt reminders. Features such as ESS (Emergency Stop Signal), speed-sensitive door locks, and collision-sensitive door unlocking further enhance the sense of security for drivers and passengers, making every journey feel confident and secure.

Hyundai has also prioritized child safety on the Creta and equipped it with ISOFIX mounts to ensure secure installation of child seats. While the previously mentioned safety features are noteworthy, the crown jewel in the Creta’s safety arsenal is its SmartSense Level-2 ADAS suite. This advanced system solidifies Creta’s position as one of the safest options in its class.

SmartSense Level-2 ADAS Kit

Hyundai’s SmartSense Level-2 ADAS suite turns the Creta into a guardian on the road, acting as a shield for you and your loved ones. Against the backdrop of India’s unpredictable road conditions and the various challenges they bring, SmartSense acts as an ever-vigilant protector, ensuring a safer and more secure drive every time.

The Creta’s advanced driver assistance features are designed to enhance safety and prevent accidents. These include Forward Collision Warning and Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, which are suitable for a variety of scenarios involving vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. A standout feature of the Creta is its forward collision avoidance feature when cornering at junctions, an uncommon but very valuable addition for Indian driving conditions. These features automatically apply the brakes when needed, helping to prevent accidents and ensure safety.

Other ADAS features include rear cross-traffic collision warning and avoidance assist, and blind-spot collision warning and avoidance assist. To enhance the daily driving experience, the Creta is equipped with LVDA (Lead Vehicle Departure Warning), SEF (Safe Exit Warning) and DAW (Driver Attention Warning) to give drivers more confidence and peace of mind on the road.

Apart from collision avoidance, the SmartSense suite in Hyundai Creta also comes with additional ADAS features including LDW (Lane Departure Warning), LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) and LFA (Lane Following Assist). These systems work together to help the driver keep the car in the center of the lane by scanning the road ahead and providing corrective steering inputs when necessary. The integration of these functions culminates in ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), providing an easier and safer driving experience.

The Creta also comes with HBA (High Beam Assist), which automatically switches between low beam and high beam to prevent dazzling oncoming traffic and ensure optimal visibility without compromising safety. With this comprehensive set of safety and driver assistance features, Hyundai Creta is one of the safest SUVs in its segment, acting as a reliable shield on the road to protect you and your loved ones.
