Now to wait for the Indian Made GNCAP ratings.

I hope Hyundai learns and doesn't disappoint - their appalling safety is one reason many buyers are considering other brands and the biggest drawback in what is an all rounder vehicle.

The version of the second-generation international Creta (Su2) made in Indonesia was recently crash-tested by ASEAN NCAP where it scored 5 stars. This test is valid for the car sold in Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

It would be pertinent to note that the Indian 2nd generation Creta (Su2i) scored 3 stars in NCAP tests.

Sure that there maybe differences between GNCAP and ASEAN NCAP. But unlike GNCAP and Latin NCAP difference, don't think that there is much difference between GNCAP and ASEAN NCAP.

For all the sales that the Indian market gives to the Creta (we buy more Cretas than the next two biggest markets combined), this image comes to my mind.



And not to say that rhino spec skin of Hyundai-Kia.

So they do make safer cars outside India! Hope they rectify their mistake and upgrade the Indian Creta to same standards. They owe us that much. After paying close to ₹2 million one would expect at least 4* crash rated car.

And here we go. Indonesian Creta (facelift) scores five star ASEAN NCAP rating, with not only more safety features but also stupendous frontal impact performance.




In comparison the Indian one tested by Global NCAP had much greater intrusion of the pedals, and other minor issues like rupture of the footwell, an unstable passenger compartment and unstable airbag contact (and Hyundai were not allowed to demonstrate similar knee protection for occupants of different size/seating position).

Indonesian facelift has ISOFIX, AEB, lane support, three-point seatbelts all-round, etc. Hyundai Indonesia also selected better child restraints.

[d-g-p]

This is like adding salt to the wound.
Hyundai does makes 5 star rated car. And Creta has 5 star crash tested version elsewhere outside India. It is only in India that we are considered guinea pig.
I hope they don't start promoting Creta as a 5 star rated car like they did for Venue (4 star Australian NCAP) !!

Wasn't it already done?

Highly likely that the made in Indonesia Creta is different from the one made in India. Hope Hyundai India pulls up their socks and works on building a stronger car for India.

I am not surprised by this result. Below are some points, which I feel are the reasons for OEMs still bringing unsafe cars to India -

- a prominent shift in demand/ priorities towards features than form (e.g. sunroof, touchscreen infotainment, connected app etc.)

- Very less safety norms in India. Perhaps, Bharat crash assessment program can change this.

[Eddy]

Is there an improvement in the safety rating from the previous version?

If yes, then there is hope that Hyundai might bring those improvements to India. Although they have no reason to do so. The car sells anyway and regulations aren't as strict.

Hyundai Creta facelift scores 5-stars in ASEAN NCAP crash test - Post moved to a new thread.

[SoumenD]

Just the way Seltos scored 5* in ANCAP but Indian version barely huffed and puffed to 3* at GNCAP. Its business as usual at hyundai/kia I guess, special treatment to Indian models

[lordrayden]

The only thing this result does is to remind (not teach) us that its VERY easy for Hyundai to give us a (very) safe car if they wanted to. But they choose not to in the interest of a few more percentage points of margin on each car.

I want to say that Hyundai will heed all the negative sentiment and shore up the car's structure with the facelift when its launched here. But the Kia Carens' poor crash safety performance pours water on that wish.

[VikramCS]

Oh! surprise!

So, Hyundai, do you plan to silently offer same safety in Creta facelift when launched in India?

If yes, will you still choose to remain silent or follow Tatas?

If not, why ? Still not happy milking fat profits from Indians
