Hyundai Creta: What does its name mean?

The Hyundai Creta, a small SUV that’s almost identical to the China-market ix25, has been launched in India, but what does it name mean?


The Hyundai Creta is partially named after the island of Crete, as well as being related to the English word “creative”.

According to Hyundai: “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.”
