According to statistics, the most popular type of cars in Russia are crossovers, and a budget crossover is the dream of almost every second driver. Therefore the model Hyundai creta which first appeared on Russian market in 2016, many were looking forward to.
Let's discuss whether the Korean crossover has met expectations. What is good about Hyundai Greta and also what limitations and weak spots does this model have?
List of clear advantages
Price
Hyundai Creta confidently outstripped its competitors at the price of the budget variant of the model. This is perhaps best price a car of this quality on the market. You can buy a crossover from 789,000 rubles, while the main competitor in the class Renault Kaptur offers customers his car from 879,000 rubles, Kia sportage- from 1,179,000 rubles, and Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota demand even more for the basic versions of their models. Prices are presented according to official dealers for 2017.
Equipment
Paradoxically, the equipment of the car is both a plus and a minus. The disadvantage is that most of the seemingly standard options are only present in the latest version. But let's talk about this below. In the meantime, let's discuss technical equipment top-end configuration.
In the maximum version of the model, the car owner is provided with the following options:
- Starting the engine from the button;
- Leather seats;
- All-wheel drive clutch blocking;
- Electric power steering;
- Descent assistance system;
- Hill Start Assist system.
Latest technology allows for unimpeded uphill climbing with a slope of 50⁰... In this case, you can stop, stand for a few seconds and continue moving freely. This option, as well as the system "Era GLONASS", allowing you to call for help in the event of an accident, goes to basic configuration car. The clutch lock function will fully unleash Greta's capabilities as a crossover. With its help, you will confidently overcome the washed-out dirt road. Greta's cross-country ability is very similar to Renault Kaptur, the main competitor in the Korean class and price range.
Salon
In comparison with Renault Kaptur and Duster, the Korean crossover wins, both in terms of aesthetics and in terms of interior comfort. Inside Greta you feel like driving a European car. Despite the fact that plastic is inexpensive, the finish is attractive, and the embossed surface dashboard even makes you think it's leather.
The steering wheel is adjustable not only in height, but also in reach. Although this option is presented only in the maximum version, the Kaptur even in the top-end configuration no calibration provided departure. The seats can also be adjusted in height, reach and angle. This versatile setting allows the driver to feel comfortable behind the wheel of the car, and the lateral support of the seats securely fixes the body in turns. I would also like to note the sound insulation, which is much better in Hyundai.
In terms of trunk volume, the "Korean" is ahead of Kaptur: 431 liters versus 378 liters. Moreover, Greta has a full-size wheel under the trunk, while Kaptur has just a stowaway. But Hyundai loses in this indicator to the front-wheel drive version of the Duster, where the trunk volume is 475 liters, and in the all-wheel drive version - 408 liters. But the clear leader in spaciousness was Kia with a volume of 491 liters.
Feeling of driving
What is good about Hyundai Greta, so it is a combination of dynamics and smoothness. Here the 6-step automatic transmission, which goes on crossovers with 2 liter engine... Thanks to the perfectly tuned gear ratio, the car accelerates faster and more confidently.
It is impossible not to mention the steering wheel calibration. At low speeds, it is softer, and when you press the gas pedal, it becomes harder. This distribution of effort makes the road feel better.
Although she is based on the Solaris, Greta does not have the same suspension problems as her older brother. Multi-link chassis Hyundai Creta imperceptibly swallows all the bumps in the road, allowing passengers to feel comfortable as if they are in the cabin of an expensive german car... Something similar happens behind the wheel of a Duster - this Frenchman also confidently absorbs bumps and freely cuts along dirt roads... And Kaptur engineers cannot boast of such things. Their suspension is more sensitive. According to this indicator, I was unpleasantly surprised new Sportage, which overcomes the terrain even tougher than its opponents, although in cost it goes far ahead.
Disadvantages and weaknesses
The most striking disadvantage of this model is the configuration. The marketers of the Korean company interested the market with an incredibly low price - 749 thousand rubles (as of 2016). This is the starting cost of Greta's budget version. But what can they offer for this price? In the basic configuration of the crossover, there is not even an air conditioner, not to mention heated seats or a lift assist system. Even the original LED headlights, which give Hyundai its modernity and style, only come in higher trim levels. According to this indicator, Renault confidently wins, where there is both air conditioning and heating. rear window, and a button to start the engine.
By the way, Greta's maximum configurations are slightly higher. The all-wheel drive 2-liter crossover with the Comfort Plus package will cost 1,200 thousand rubles, and Renault with the same characteristics will cost 1,180 thousand rubles.
Unlike Greta, Kaptur manufacturers can offer four transmission options - 5 and 6-speed mechanics, a 4-level automatic and a variator. At Hyundai, the case with the transmission is simpler - a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. Due to the variator, Renault turned out to be slightly more economical than its opponent. The difference of 1 liter is not great, but when calculated for thousands of kilometers, it becomes more noticeable. Many buyers in Greta's lineup lack a complete set with 2 liter engine and mechanical transmission. In this regard, Renault Duster and Kaptur have a huge advantage.
Another disadvantage of Greta before the "French" is the clearance - 190 mm versus 204 mm for Kaptur and 210 mm for Duster. Considering larger size Renault wheels, Hyundai clearly loses off-road to overcome steep irregularities and slopes as much as possible. And when installing a steel crankcase protection, the clearance is reduced by another 10-12 mm, which is comparable to the clearance of some sedans.
A clear drawback that many Creta users have pointed out is the lack of a standard option like cruise control. Moreover, this function is not even in the latest crossover configuration, which costs almost 1.2 million. This fact surprised many car owners.
The weak points of the car are the immobilizer and automatic transmission. Many car owners have encountered a problem when starting the engine. They started it up every other time, and coming to official dealer, everything started to work. The problem is that the immobilizer and the gasoline pump must be given two to three seconds to check after inserting the key, and then turn it. Some car owners have eliminated the problem by stripping the contacts on the immobilizer.
Another weak link of the model is the fastidious automatic, which, it seems, does not tolerate slipping more than others. At untimely replacement wear of the clutch and friction bagel is much faster. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the fluid and promptly replace it. Hydraulic plates are also a nuisance of automatic transmissions, which quickly fail when overheated or low-quality oil. Moreover, for boxes of type "L", "M" and "G" this element is not universal, and the driver will have to select the appropriate hydraulic plate for a particular transmission.
Summarize
Considering all of the above, we can say with confidence that Hyundai Greta is a good crossover, which turned out to be a worthy competitor to Renault Kaptur, and in some respects even surpassed it. It is perfectly prepared for Russian roads and well equipped from a technical point of view (apart from the lack of cruise control). In comparison with the Duster, it is slightly less passable, but more comfortable and technically equipped. And minor shortcomings in front of the Sportage pale against the background of a gigantic difference in price.
Greta is comfortable and modern car, which behaves well both on the highway and off-road. There is no dispute about tastes, but one thing is for sure - the Korean newcomer has already occupied a niche in this segment and will continue to amaze consumers.
Hyundai Creta has been breaking all records for popularity for a long time, and the manufacturer does not stop offering improved modifications almost every year. Several years have passed since the first sales in our country, and many are interested in how to service a car with their own hands, how to change the oil in the Hyundai Creta box and much more.
Doing the work yourself is more profitable, faster (compared to waiting in line) and more interesting if you like the process. First you need to decide on the choice of oil fluid.
When choosing, it is better to rely on the requirements specified in the manual. There is also a lubricant map provided by the dealership, but it is better to follow the first option, since managers can add products at their discretion, and not the most necessary ones, but those that are more profitable for them to sell.
To figure out what kind of oil is poured into the Hyundai Creta engine, you need to know that for domestic roads and climate, the best options for determining the viscosity are 5W-20 and 5W-30. Dealers may offer 5W40 depending on climatic conditions.
Please note that this product must comply with the specifications - API Service SM * 4, ILSAC GF-4 or ACEA A5 (B5). This means that this product retains its properties in temperature range from -30 to +50 ° С.
The amount of liquid to be poured depends on which engine is installed in the car:
- Gamma 1.6 MPI - G4FG - 3.6 L;
- Nu 2.0 MPI - G4NA - 4 l.
The thing is that this oil can significantly (albeit slowly) save fuel consumption. The amount of consumed gasoline is reduced due to the fact that friction compensation in the engine is not required. In the absence of this brand in the assortment, you can purchase an analogue.
Less versatile products are labeled ACEA A5, ILSAC GF-3 and ACEA A3. If you don't find it, then purchase SM API or SL API. After all, further uninterrupted work auto.
The prices for the oil necessary for the car fluctuate between 1343-2200 rubles for four liters, depending on the characteristics and the manufacturer. For example, the most expensive product is LIQUI MOLY Leichtlauf Special LL, the cheapest is SHELL Helix 5W30 HX 8.
How to change the oil in a Hyundai Creta engine with your own hands?
This procedure is quite simple. It will take about 30 minutes, and most of the time will not be spent on work, but on waiting for the oil to drain. The process performed independently will save about 700 rubles.
Place the vehicle on a lift or overpass. Mute the engine. Wait 15-20 minutes for the liquid to drain. Next, climb under the car and dismantle the factory crankcase protection, since there are no technological holes for the drain here.
The shield is fastened with five bolts (three in the front and two in the back), which can be easily unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver.
Drain plug and oil filter located at the bottom. Unscrew the plug and place a special container under the drain. Wait for the waste fluid to drain.
Prepare a chain puller to remove the filter. Be careful in the process, as due to the location of the filter (bottom), excess oily liquid can spill over the edge and smear clothes and body parts.
Now you can refuel Greta's mechanism good oil... Also, do not forget to install a new washer (about 20 rubles), which is necessary for the oil plug (the video can be found at the end of the article).
According to the manual, it is recommended to pour new oil into the engine after 2000 km of run. The filter change should be repeated every 15 thousand km (or once a year). To do this, it is necessary to do the same procedure for draining the used oil, and only then change the spare part.
Before replacing the oil filter in Hyundai Creta, you should find out its cost. Today the price for a filter of a body type (not a cartridge) is 480 rubles. The price of an analog oil filter is about 300-350 rubles, which is not much cheaper, but the quality of the non-original part is unknown.
The need to refuel oil in other vehicle components
The timing drive is chain-driven. The unit is not complicated and reliable. The only thing that can show an increased oil appetite if you drive at high speeds.
There is also oil in the gearboxes and parts of the all-wheel drive transmission, which, according to the manual, should last all the time the machine is in operation. But the drain and filler plugs are installed here, so you can top it up if necessary during operation using a special tool (a wrench with heads for unscrewing the nuts).
According to the regulations, the oil in the power steering is also not poured or replaced. If required, this work can be partially performed in a service center.
The process looks like this: from expansion tank pump out all the liquid, if possible, and then fill the system with fresh, which is run through the system. In the engine panel there is a detachable connection of the lines, which allows you to drain the remainder.
Other machine fluids besides oil
If you do not know what kind of antifreeze to pour into Hyundai Creta and how this event takes place, then we will consider an action plan for changing the antifreeze. First, you need to remove the plastic boot of the crankcase to gain access to the drain plug, which is located at the bottom of the left radiator reservoir.
Antifreeze flows in a neat stream through the body panels, and does not spray on the sides, for which you can say "thanks" to the developers. According to the manual, new antifreeze must be poured after ten years of operation or 210 thousand kilometers. This is the first time, and the subsequent ones - every two years or every 30 thousand km.
The volume of the cooling system for any type of engine is 5.3 liters. When replacing, it is necessary to mix antifreeze with distilled water in equal proportions.
What gasoline is poured into Hyundai Creta is also spelled out in the regulations - from AI-92 and above. It does not depend on the volume and power of the engine. It is allowed to fill only gasoline, and not other fuel. Judging by the reviews from the forums, many are not satisfied with the quality of the 92nd gasoline, so they fill in the 95th.
How to replace the fuel filter in Hyundai Creta?
This element is built into the fuel pump, which is installed in the tank. It is recommended to change it every 60 thousand km. To access the pump, you need to luggage compartment remove the boxes around the spare wheel. Remove three self-tapping screws from them using a Phillips screwdriver. On fuel pump there is a plastic cover.
It can be easily removed by prying it off from the side indicated by the embossed arrow. After that, you can remove the pump and disassemble it in order to replace the part. If there is not enough experience in this matter, then it is better to enlist the support of the master, as in all other operations.

Development of compact crossover Hyundai Creta, intended primarily for Asian markets, began in 2014, and in 2015 the crossover went into mass production. The platform of the i20 hatchbacks was used as a base for the novelty, and its design was developed taking into account other crossovers of this model - Santa-Fe and Tucson. In Russia, this crossover appeared only at the end of summer 2016 at the Moscow Motor Show.
Hyundai Creta 1.6
The base engine for Hyundai Creta is gasoline injection engine volume of 1.6 liters, which is installed only on front-wheel drive versions. This motor is capable of developing 123 hp. and reach a torque of 151 Nm. It is offered with a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission.
Fuel consumption Hyundai Creta 1.6 per 100 km. Reviews
- Alexey, Novosibirsk. Hyundai Creta, 1.6AT, 2016. I used to ride a Peugeot 308 puzoterka, tired of repairing bumpers. I decided to take something from budget crossovers - either Renault Kaptur or Hyundai Creta. My wife and I stopped choosing Crete - somehow she is prettier. True, it would not hurt to improve the noise insulation, because sometimes it seems that you are driving in a tin can. Average consumption of 8 liters per 100 km, 60% city, 40% highway.
- Dmitry, Omsk. I was really surprised that Hyundai Creta had enough power from its standard 1.6-liter engine and 123 horses - it's still a massive car. On the ripper it goes well, the machine also does not blunt. City consumption from 10 to 12 liters, highway 6-8 liters.
- Sergey, Kazan. Hyundai Creta with Start (base). 1.6 l engine, mechanical transmission, front-wheel drive... I took it from the office. dealer in 2016. Of the special stages I only bought the signalization and floor mats. During the run-in, the average consumption was 10 liters, then dropped to about 8.7 ... 9.2 liters.
- Semyon, Moscow. At the end of 2016, I bought a brand new Hyundai Creta on credit - before that I drove the Great Wall H3. So, after him, Creta is just a Ferrari, although the engine is 1.6 liters, but very playful. It picks up speed very quickly, the dynamics around the city is also excellent, and the average gas consumption is about 9 liters, one and a half to two times less than that of Great Wall. Unaccustomed to the machine, I was stupid at one time, as I drove on the handle for a long time, but then I got used to it and now I enjoy it.
- Mikhail, Krasnodar. In general, at first I wanted to take Solaris, but its price made me go nuts - 840 thousand rubles and with a 1.4 liter engine in total, Creta came out a little more expensive, so it is bigger and the motor is more powerful. Outwardly, I really like it, the interior is also small, the consumption is small for such a car - about 8.5 liters are released in the city, 6.1… 6.5 liters in total on the highway.
- Pavel, Barnaul. When I came to the salon to choose my Hyundai Creta, I wanted exactly a certain color - Urban Gray. But according to the manager, this color was not available, it was necessary to wait, and the waiting period was at least 2 months. I didn't want to wait that long, so I looked to see what else they had offered. I chose brown - it looks very unusual and stylish. The consumption is very small - 8.5-9.0 liters in the city, from 6 to 6.5 on the highway.
- Alexey, Novosibirsk. Hyundai Creta, 1.6 mechanics, front-wheel drive, 2016 waited 10 days. I liked the work of the officials, it was only annoying that the special stages were imposed. For such inexpensive car very good audio system, the engine power is enough for the city, although there is no crazy dynamics, but I did not expect it. I have an average consumption of about 10 liters, my wife has about a liter and a half less.
- Igor, Vyksa. I bought it in the winter, while it was running in, I did not turn the engine too much. Consumption in the run-in was about 7.5 liters on the highway and up to 10 liters in the city, but it was just winter. After running in, it just got warmer, real consumption figures became 8.5 liters in the city and 6.2 liters on the highway.
Hyundai Creta 2.0
For the more expensive versions of the Hyundai Creta, a 2-liter gasoline engine is offered. It is capable of delivering 192 Nm of torque and 150 hp. This motor is installed on both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, and is also aggregated with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Reviews of fuel consumption Hyundai Creta 2.0
- Nikita, Ulyanovsk. Crete looks very similar to Tucson, inside too, although the salon is of course a little smaller. Everything is neat, the 2-liter engine is very lively, it does not blunt with a gun at all. In the summer I went only with a kondeya, the most high consumption, which was 13 liters, in winter after running in a maximum of 12 liters reached. On the highway around 8.5 liters.
- Kirill, Murmansk. I liked the Hyundai Creta very much, but initially I considered only an all-wheel drive package with a 2.0 liter engine, plus heated seats and a steering wheel - we still have a harsh winter. Although the car is a SUV, it showed excellent results in the winter - four-wheel drive here is normal, with ESP and locks, everything is as it should be. I fill up 92 gasoline, it was just monstrous during the break-in, now on average 10-13 liters come out in the city, this is in winter.
- Grigory, Nizhny Novgorod. Hyundai Creta, 2.0AT, four-wheel drive, 2016 I wanted a different configuration altogether, but a stupid manager who carried all sorts of heresy and nonsense got caught in the cabin, and as a result he gave me noodles and I fell in love like a donkey. Of the minuses - there is simply no dipped beam, very disappointing. In all other respects, in principle, there are no complaints, the engine is high-torque, the machine is not stupid, although it is old. Consumption on the highway was 7.3 liters at 100 km / h, in the city about 10 liters, no more.
- Denis, Vladivostok. In general, we can say that the car is quite good for its money. The engine's power of 150 horsepower is quite enough for not weak dynamics, it undermines from the start normally. Shumka is of course lame, like the suspension, but I compare it with the Prado, not with my classmates. The winter consumption was 12 liters, when it gets warmer, I think it will be less.
- Sergey, Tyumen. Good car for your money. Its consumption is relatively small - in the city 12-13 liters, the highway is 8-9 liters, no more. The interior is neat, only the suspension is rather weak - bumps are felt.
- Vasily, St. Petersburg. For a long time I wanted to take some kind of budget SUV, but I tried to take the Chinese, the quality there sucks. Creta seems to be a normal option, but there are also disadvantages. The most important are cheap plastic and a small trunk. On the other hand, a 2.0 liter engine with 150 horsepower, a good machine, big wheels and a really stylish face. Consumption 8-9 highway, 11-14 city.
- Nikolay, Barnaul. The car was bought by his wife, of course, under her "sensitive" guidance. All my arguments were stupidly ignored - it was necessary to like it and that's it. But to my surprise, the final choice was quite unexpected - Hyundai Creta, 2.0 engine with automatic transmission, four-wheel drive with cross-axle diff lock, 17 discs, heated windshield and all that. I rode it myself several times - quite a worthy specimen. Consumption is quite sane, as for 2 liters - 12 city, 8.5 liters highway.
- Nikita, Yekaterinburg. Dashed off 10 thousand km since the fall of 2016. I took it in the maximum configuration, plus I took an additional body kit on the sills and the front and rear bumper- you never know, poke around somewhere and you have to change the bumper, and the pipes at least henna. During the run-in, the consumption was gigantic, it reached up to 20 liters (just the coldest months of winter were), but after running in, it fell sharply. In the city, it comes out about 12-14 liters, on the highway up to 10 liters, if you go 140 km / h.
- Maxim, Solnechnogorsk. I am completely satisfied with the car, just like an elephant. I went on a Duster - a good car, but too budgetary, both externally and interior. The 2 liter engine is really weak. I watched something new, for example Kaptur - the ugliness is simple, they hardly pulled it onto the ancient platform new body... But Kreta was interested - the appearance is fresh, the engine of 150 horses is high-spirited, the consumption of the on-board computer is generally 8.3 liters per 100 km.
As you know, the technical condition of the car, as well as its service life, directly depends on the quality of the fuel. The Korean crossover was no exception, the fuel system of which is very delicate to the gasoline poured into it.
Therefore, many SUV owners are interested in points regarding Hyundai Creta gasoline. This information may be interesting for those who are just going to purchase a crossover. The choice of Hyundai Creta gasoline must be approached as seriously as possible, since low-quality fuel in the future can lead to serious damage. Well, who needs a power unit overhaul?
What are the developers saying?
A careful analysis of the Hyundai Greta operating book showed that the Korean crossover can be freely refueled with 92nd gasoline. This applies to both the 1.6-liter engine and two-liter engine... The octane rating of the fuel can be found on the back of the hatch.
However, many experts agree that refueling AI-92 has a negative effect on technical condition crossover. This is a completely motivated statement, because the 92nd gasoline has never been different. high quality... Based on this, it can be assumed that its use makes the robot of the power plant unstable. This is especially felt when driving at high speeds. Also, no one canceled the accelerated wear of the unit, as well as its overheating. As practice shows, neglecting the quality of Hyundai Kreta gasoline in the future leads to engine failure, with its subsequent overhaul, which includes the replacement of pistons, valves and individual components of the fuel system.
AI-80
In Russia, there has always been a category of motorists who naively believed that since the engine runs on the 92nd, then nothing will happen to it if you periodically "feed" it with the 80th. Perhaps there is something in this, but this concept definitely does not apply to high-quality foreign cars, which, undoubtedly, is the Hyundai Creta. Experts recommend using this category of fuel only in cases where there are no alternative types of fuel and you just need to get to the nearest gas station. In this case, it is advisable to move at low speed with a minimum speed indicator.
AI-98
If everything is clear with the previous version of the fuel, then in this case it is necessary to build on expediency, because the use of this type of fuel is absolutely illogical, and most motorists agree with this. The fact is that this category of fuel is suitable for turbocharged and forced power plants... This conclusion suggests itself after studying the octane number. Therefore, if you fill the 98th in Hyundai Kreta, you should not count on high calorific values. This means that fuel consumption will be significantly higher than the norm, while the dynamic indicators, at the same time, will remain unchanged.
Ultimate efficiency
This is exactly the case when refueling fully justifies itself. Gasoline Hyundai Creta "Ecto" contains special additives that clean the fuel system. Experts recommend using this particular type of fuel, as it will help increase the service life of the Korean model's fuel system and, accordingly, the service life of the car itself.
Fuel quality check
Motorists, residents of large cities, usually do not have problems with refueling. Often they use the services of prestigious filling companies, which they are confident in the quality of fuel. But few people know that it is better to call at the station of the company itself and avoid various franchises. You can track this nuance by examining the client's stand or check. The fact is that official filling stations are equipped with expensive equipment, while their branches are outdated.
In those cases when you are on the road and urgently need to refuel, and on the way you do not notice reliable gas stations, there is only one thing left - to stop near the first more or less normal station and assess the quality of the fuel visually. For example, good 95th gasoline will be colorless, giving a little blue tint.
But if you notice a red or yellow tint, then it is better to refuse to use such fuel. Most likely, such gasoline contains manganese or pherocene additives, which can negatively affect the fuel system of the vehicle.
As practice shows, the majority of Greta owners run the AI-95 crossover, and this is the same a good option like "Ecto". It makes no sense to save on fuel, since the difference between the categories of gasoline is insignificant. It is better to overpay a few rubles than then look for funds to overhaul the motor.
Output
The Korean crossover is equipped with a rather delicate fuel system, therefore, the choice of fuel Hyundai Creta must be approached responsibly. The car's operating book says that it can run on 92nd gasoline, but experts recommend not to abuse it. The same applies to AI-80 and AI-98, which experts generally do not recommend for Greta. Most the best option is the 95th gasoline, which is easy to distinguish from a fake - a colorless liquid with a bluish tinge. If you notice a yellow or red tint in gasoline, it is better to refuse it.
The question "What gasoline to fill in Hyundai Creta" worries many owners of this Korean crossover. On the Russian market this car comes with only two petrol engines:
We have already talked about these engines in detail in our previous materials, so we will not focus on them. But let's just smoothly move on to our question.
Over the past few years that Hyundai Creta is sold in our market, buyers have already developed good impression about this brand. In particular, Hyundai Creta has already established itself as a reliable and unpretentious car.
Now let's translate what it all means. So, it says “min. 92 ”. This means that the minimum amount of gasoline AI-92 can be poured into Hyundai Kreta. Also on the fuel filler flap there is an inscription “unleaded fuel only”, which literally translates as “only unleaded gasoline”. In other words, only unleaded gasoline with a quality class of at least AI-92 is poured into Hyundai Kreta. But no one forbids the use of AI-95 gasoline.
By the way, if you do not know how many liters of gasoline are poured into the Hyundai Creta tank, then you can go to and find out all the detailed information.
As we said above, Hyundai Kreta can easily digest gasoline of this brand. The only important thing is that in modern reality it is quite difficult to find a really high-quality AI-92 fuel. Although in big cities you can find proven gas stations that sell high quality gasoline AI-92.
But for residents of sparsely populated cities and towns, it is really difficult to find such a gas station nearby.
The most preferable option for Hyundai Creta will be AI-95 gasoline. Moreover, it is great for an engine of both 1.6 liters and 2.0 liters. Of course, due to the high popularity of 95th gasoline, it is most often counterfeited. Very often it appears in the news reports that counterfeit fuel was found at some filling station. However, in large network gas stations they monitor the quality of fuel, so it is better to look for a gas station among them. In any case, you can find a normal gas station and constantly refuel on it.
Should I refuel AI-98 gasoline in Hyundai Creta?
At most large gas stations, you can find AI-98 gasoline, which often attracts Hyundai Creta owners. However, it is intended for sports cars and there is no point in using Hyundai Creta. No, of course, Creta will easily drive on this fuel. But you will not understand any advantages from this. First, the fuel consumption will not be lower than that of the AI-95. Secondly, AI-98 is more expensive than AI-95 and AI-92.
In fact, there is no difference between the 2.0 and 1.6 engines of the Hyundai Cret in terms of fuel used. Both of these engines are equally good at digesting fuel and AI-92, and AI-95. However, each of the owners decides for himself what fuel to fill his car with.
There are many on the Internet who say that the AI-95 has less fuel consumption than the AI-92. This is due to the fact that 95th gasoline burns a little better, therefore, it provides better efficiency compared to AI-92. As a result, all other things being equal, the AI-95 car is able to travel a greater distance.

Hyundai Creta what kind of gasoline to pour? Owner reviews
SANYA 63, Novosibirsk
Hello everyone. Purely from personal observations, I can say that on the domestic 95th, the car behaves a little more vigorously on the road in terms of dynamics, and this is reflected, not so much in a specific plan, sat down, pressed and flew, namely in the little things, especially in acceleration, it is felt in the first seconds ... As for imported fuel of grades 92, 95, 95 E10, etc., I did not notice the difference at all. The conclusion is this, it's just that our production technologies are outdated and lagged behind Europe, since the Hyundai engines are not very demanding, for gasoline, including the Crete engine, you can fill in 92 and not take a steam bath.
DRIVER, Sochi
Vovanich from personal observations of Crete at 95 behaves much better, 92 is the lower limit recommended by the manufacturer of Creta, at 92 the engine works much worse, somehow hard, or something, turns harder. I think for Hyundai engines, 95 is still the best, I fill only the 95th.
Victor, Nizhny Novgorod
Checked by me many times on different cars Hyundai: consumption of the 92nd per unit km is more than by 95m exactly for the difference in price, and the car is more lively and more comfortable at 95m. Based on this, I use the 95th. 92nd from Lukoil did not try. At some gas stations Lukoil 95th is worse than 95th on proven other brands (Moscow). An ambiguous moment.
