Our Instagram Followers Prefer The Hyundai Creta With This Powertrain Option

While diesel engines may be believed to be nearing their end, they remain a popular choice for those looking to buy a Creta, as suggested by our latest Instagram poll

With the recent unveiling of the Hyundai Creta Electric, the Creta has joined the ranks of cars in India that offer more than two powertrain options, which in this case are EV, petrol, turbo-petrol, and diesel. This wide array of choices allows customers to own and experience the Creta in a variety of ways. To gauge preferences, we asked our followers on our CarDekho Instagram handle to pick their favourite powertrain option, and the results were truly surprising. 

Before diving into the poll outcomes, let’s take a look at the powertrain options available with the internal combustion engine (ICE) iteration of the Creta:

*MT = Manual transmission; CVT = Continuously variable automatic transmission; DCT = Dual-clutch automatic transmission; AT = Torque converter automatic transmission

Now, let us check out the electrical powertrain specifications of the Creta:

Hyundai has claimed that the EV version of the Creta can sprint from 0-100 kmph in 7.9 seconds. The Korean marque is yet to divulge the exact specifications of the electric motor on offer with the Creta Electric.
