Hyundai Creta facelift officially unveiled ahead of January 16 launch
The 2024 Hyundai Creta is all set for its Indian launch on January 16 and while the South Korean brand has very carefully been feeding us information about the car, this is the first time they have fully unveiled the upcoming SUV. Customers may reserve the new Creta at any Hyundai dealership in India or on the HMIL website and deliveries are expected to commence from the end of this month.
2024 Hyundai Creta facelift: Design
The Creta update for India differs from the Tucson-inspired design featured in the worldwide edition. Instead, it has a more muscular front fascia to match the carmaker's 'Sensuous Sportiness' motif. The SUV has a fully new front face that includes a reworked grille with a parametric jewel motif, improved projector LED headlights, H-shaped LED DRLs and a new bumper. Only new alloy wheel designs with 17- or 18-inch wheel choices depending on the version are seen on the sides.
The 2024 Hyundai Creta's rear profile has a big black insert running the length of the back, new LED headlights, and, of course, a linked LED tail bar on the tailgate. The 3D Hyundai logo, vertically-stacked reflectors, a new spoiler with a high-mounted stop light, and a reworked number plate recess are among the additional changes made to the car with this facelift.
2024 Hyundai Creta facelift: Variants and Colours
As mentioned earlier, the upcoming Creta facelift will be available in seven paint options, starting from E, EX, S, S(O), SX, SX Tech, and SX (O). Besides that, Hyundai will offer six single-tone and one dual-tone colour, such as Ranger Khaki, Fiery Red, Atlas White, Abyss Black, Titan Grey, and a new Robust Emerald Pearl along with a dual-tone Atlas White with a black roof.
2024 Hyundai Creta facelift: Powertrain
The Creta facelift will get a new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 160PS and 253Nm of torque and will continue with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol motor that makes 115PS and 143.8Nm of torque along with a 1.5-litre turbo diesel unit that delivers 116PS and 250Nm of torque. Transmission options are likely to include a six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, a six-speed iMT, and a CVT automatic.
