The pricing of the Hyundai Creta variants for the Philippine market has increased. This can be seen on Hyundai Philippines’ official website.
The Hyundai Creta
For a clearer picture of the Creta’s price bump, here’s a table comparing its old standard retail prices to its new prices.
| Hyundai Creta Variants | Old Price | New Price |
| Creta GL MT | Php 998,000 | Php 1,048,000 |
| Creta GL IVT | Php 1,170,000 | Php 1,228,000 |
| Creta GLS IVT | Php 1,332,000 | Php 1,388,000 |
As one can see on the table, mid-spec GL IVT saw the most significant price increase at Php 58,000. The top-spec GLS IVT meanwhile, saw Php 56,000 added to its price. The entry-level GL MT, in turn, saw a price bump of Php 50,000.
Besides the price update, the Hyundai Philippines’ official website is no longer listing the special Creta GL 1.5 IVT Limited-Red trim. According to Hyundai PH however, this version of the Creta can still be bought via indent order.
As a side note, the brand also increased the prices of the Hyundai Stargazer MPV this month. Specifically, a Php 40,000 price increase was implemented across all three of its variants available locally. Currently, the Stargazer’s price ranges from Php 1,038,000 to Php 1,258,000.

For those eyeing the Hyundai Creta as their next big purchase, note that it is currently the most compact offering from the Korean marque in the local market.
Notable interior features of this crossover include an eight-inch touchscreen headunit with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, and leather seats, among others.
This Hyundai model also features several driver-assistive systems (ADAS). These include blind spot collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, forward collision-avoidance assist, driver attention warning, etc.
Propelling the Philippine-spec Creta is a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that’s capable of producing up to 113 horsepower and 144 Nm of torque. The entry-level GL then uses a 6-speed manual gearbox, while the rest come with an intelligent variable transmission (IVT).
