Subject to Global NCAP’s frontal offset crash test at 64kph, the Hyundai Creta secured a 3-star rating for adult protection. The Creta’s overall score for adult protection was eight points out of a maximum 17. The protection for the driver’s head was noted as ‘adequate,’ while for passengers it scored a ‘good’. Both the driver and co-driver dummies registered good protection for the neck, though protection for the driver and front passenger’s knees was rated as “marginal”.
The Hyundai Creta also secured a 3-star rating for child occupant protection, with 28.29 points out of a maximum 49. The base variant of the Creta does not get ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and hence, the child seats had to be secured with seat belts. The safety watchdog noted that the seat belt did not prevent excessive forward movement of the three-year-old front-facing dummy’s head, and the chest protection was ‘weak’. The 1.5-year-old rearward-facing dummy, however, had good protection to the head and chest.
In its report, Global NCAP further highlights that the Hyundai Creta does not come with a standard three-point seatbelt for all passengers and also misses on standard ISOFIX child seat anchorages, which are only offered from the SX Executive trim onwards.
