Not sure which engine you have?
The badge alone is not enough: in this generation, the same engine designation came in different power outputs, each with its own calibration. Check the power output in your registration document and find the matching row.

Hyundai Creta remap: what changes
The GAN box plugs in between the sensors and the engine control unit (ECU) and adjusts their signals, while a flash remap rewrites the ECU itself. Your manufacturer’s warranty is preserved: the ECU software is never changed, and the box can be removed at any time.

What makes the Hyundai Creta special
Hyundai Creta remap: familiar engines in an imported car
The Creta's 1.6 Gamma makes 123 hp and 152 Nm, and the same engine families are fitted to other Hyundai and Kia cars. The Creta was never part of the Hyundai UK range, so a Creta on British roads is a private import. So the engine decides the box: a Creta 1.6 takes the GAN GA+, with a gain of 15 hp and 18 Nm. The 2.0 Nu with 150 hp and 192 Nm gains 18 hp and 23 Nm on the GAN GA+, and the second-generation 1.5 MPI, a naturally aspirated engine with 115 hp and 144 Nm, gains 14 hp and 17 Nm.
The 1.4 CRDi is the diesel, a small turbodiesel of 90 hp, and the GAN GT adds 26 hp and 64 Nm. That gives the Creta both sides of the range: the GAN GA+ for the petrol engines, the GAN GT for the diesel. ix25 is another name for the same model. The matching Hyundai models in Europe are the Bayon and the Kona.
Creta engine questions
On durability, the naturally aspirated 1.6 MPI and 2.0 MPI are the mechanically simpler Creta engines. A used car with high mileage deserves a look at the timing chain, the phasers, the catalytic converter, oil consumption and the injection system. The other common question is how much a power upgrade can add to a naturally aspirated engine; advertised figures depend on the setup.
Hyundai Creta remap: common questions
What will the GAN GA+ add to a Creta 1.6 MPI?
In the catalogue the 1.6 with 123 hp gains 15 hp and 18 Nm. The GAN GA+ is rated at up to 12% more power on a naturally aspirated engine.
Creta 1.4 CRDi 90: how much does the GAN GT add?
On the GAN GT the 1.4 CRDi goes from 90 hp and 220 Nm to 116 hp and 284 Nm. The diesel gains the most of any Creta engine, 26 hp, against 14 to 18 hp for the petrol engines. The GAN GT line, rated at up to 30% more power, suits a small turbodiesel like this; read it as the stated gain for the engine type, not a dyno result from your car.
What does the GAN GA+ add to the 149 hp Creta 2.0?
The 2.0 Nu with 150 hp and 192 Nm gains 18 hp and 23 Nm in the catalogue. Being naturally aspirated, it takes the GAN GA+, rated at up to 12% more power.
Creta tuning box or ECU remap?
There are two routes: a flash remap rewrites the factory software in the engine control unit (ECU), while the GAN tuning box adjusts the engine sensor signals and leaves that software alone. Your manufacturer's warranty is preserved, because the ECU software is never changed and the box can be removed at any time.
Does a GAN tuning box affect my car insurance?
Yes. In the UK a power increase counts as a modification, and insurers expect to be told about it before you drive with the box fitted. Each insurer handles it differently, so check with yours first and quote the before-and-after output from the table above.
Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 remap?
Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU remap without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
