The best-selling SUV in the nation is still the Creta, which has been around since its most recent upgrade in 2020.
Hyundai is reportedly developing a facelifted model; specifics regarding the design language are revealed in recent spy photos.
Why Hyundai could be making changes to this SUV:
A radically redesigned front design with a Palisade-like front and DRL that resembles thunder is seen in new spy photos.
Beside the grille is a two-step headlight arrangement.
The flanks display the new alloy wheels.
At the back are H-shaped tail lamps that resemble those on the Exter.
Anticipated Updates:
Although interiors have not yet been seen, a revised dashboard design is expected.
A digital instrument cluster, 64-color ambient lighting, ADAS, a heads-up display, and a 360-degree camera are possible examples of new features.
The facelifted version will likely be powered by the same 1.5-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines from the current model.
The more powerful 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine which powers the Hyundai Verna, will also be offered in the forthcoming model with a manual or DCT gearbox.
It will most likely be offered with manual, automatic (CVT), automatic (DCT), and automatic transmission choices.
Start-Up Schedule:
Hyundai is planning to introduce the Creta facelift in India and global markets.
Additionally, in India, the facelifted Creta has been observed for testing earlier this month.
As per reports, in January 2024, Hyundai intends to begin manufacturing at its plant in Chennai.
The launch is perhaps scheduled for February 2024.
Exterior
In what is proof that it will be launched in the Indian market, a sticker on the side says “SU2i,” with the “i” standing for India.
When it was spotted testing on Indian roads earlier this year a new dual-tone alloy wheel design was noticed.
The front fascia was mostly hidden, but insiders say that the Indian version will feature Hyundai’s new parametric jewel pattern grille and vertically stacked LED headlamps on the bumper, similar to the global version.
