Hyundai Motor India has officially
revealed the name of its forthcoming new compact SUV – as the Hyundai Creta, derived from
the large Greek Island of Crete,
which in its heyday was a trade hub that connected Europe, Asia and Africa.
The company
said in its press release “Hyundai
Motor Company has today announced the name of its first sub-compact SUV: ‘Creta’. The global roll-out
of this all-new model will start in the second half of 2015 in India. The name
‘Creta’ derives primarily from the name for Crete, the largest of the Greek
islands. Situated in the Mediterranean Sea, Crete was the focal point for
Greece’s global prowess in trade and culture, in its heyday connecting Europe,
Asia and Africa,”
“Pronunciation
of Creta deliberately
evokes welcome similarities with the term ‘creative,’ and draws on positive
associations with the Mediterranean island of Crete, which is famed for
combining a relaxed and tranquil environment with a vibrant, energetic approach
to outdoor activities.”
The Hyundai Creta is said to
be launched around September-October 2015 to catch on to the festive buying
spree, with an expected price of under Rs 10 lakh, and will be exported to
International market later.
Creta will be
4270mm long, 1780mm wide, 1630mm tall and riding on a 2590mm wheelbase.
The Hyundai Creta will compete with
models from Mahindra & Mahindra, Renault, Nissan, Ford and Tata Motors.
While Hyundai has called the Creta
a “global model,” that is not a guarantee that it will make the trip to North
America.
