Hyundai has launched the second-gen Creta with prices starting at Rs 9.99 lakh which puts it in close quarters with the Venue. This is bound to create some confusion among buyers who cannot decide whether they should go for a small but well-loaded car or a bigger one that has fewer features on offer. Let’s find out.
