The interior bits are more or less identical to the successful Elite i20. There will be two touchscreen infotainment options dominating the centre console on the top trim levels. Apart from this, there is an  inbuilt 1GB memory space audio system, just like the other Hyundai nowadays. It also features a push-button start, a reverse camera, six airbags, and Electronic Stability Control. Creta is not a sub-4 metre offering like some of its prime competitors as Hyundai didn’t want the space to be compromised, hence, better space on the inside.
