Hyundai is set to launch the 2024 facelift of its popular midsize SUV, the Hyundai Creta, early next year. The upcoming facelift represents the second major update in the current generation of the popular five-seater SUV and aims to strengthen its position at the top of the sales chart. Hyundai Creta has made a significant impact on the medium-sized SUV market since its introduction in 2015.
The facelifted Hyundai Creta has been spotted several times during testing, revealing several updates. The facelifted Creta showcases Hyundai’s latest design language with a split headlamp cluster, a stronger hood, updated bumpers with a prominent center air intake, and an updated grille design with Hyundai’s logo in the center. The taillgate features a redesigned lighting signature with special H-Shape elements, updated rear bumper, and a side profile that includes new alloy wheels, enhancing its appeal.
Inside the modified Hyundai Creta, new technologies like Level 2 ADAS have been observed during testing, along with a cabin theme featuring black and white themes. The feature list includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 10.25-inch digital instrument console, wireless charger, air purifier, front ventilated seats, updated dashboard and center console, panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, numerous electronic driver aids, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
Before the global model receives the changes, the 2024 Hyundai Creta is likely to be introduced in the Indian market. It is expected to go on sale early next year with a price ranging from INR 10.90 lakh to INR 19.60 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete with cars like the Seltos, Grand Vitara, Harrier, Kushaq, Tiguan, among others.
In terms of performance, the new lineup will include a new 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine that develops 160 PS of power and 253 Nm of torque. The 1.5-liter NA petrol and 1.5-liter CRDI diesel engines will continue in the 2024 Hyundai Creta. The new turbo engine will be paired with a 6-speed IMT and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, similar to the current generation.
