The current India-spec Hyundai Creta only has a three-star global NCAP safety rating

Indonesia-spec Hyundai Creta Crash Test

The Indonesia-spec Hyundai Creta was recently crash-tested at the ASEAN NCAP and it came out with a solid five-star safety rating. The India-spec model is due for an update and the 2023 Creta, when it arrives, could be similar to the current Indonesia-spec model. It is still not clear whether the facelifted model for India will get a better rating than the current iteration which received a three-star Global NCAP safety rating.

The base-spec ‘Active’ variant that was tested by ASEAN NCAP comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), brake assistant system (BAS), vehicle stability management (VSM), and hill-start assist control (HAC). Its top-spec variants also offer ADAS including lane-keep assist, blind spot detection, driver attention warning and more.

Adult Occupant Protection

The SUV got a score of 27.78 out of 32 for adult occupant protection and thus gaining the five-star rating. After the assessment, the testing body said the car’s passenger compartment was stable.
