Hyundai Creta Facelift: Design Details

The appearance of the 2024 Hyundai Creta is sturdy and striking, expanding on the hints revealed in the numerous spy photos. Notable changes include a revamped grille on the fascia, an LED DRL strip along the length of the bonnet, and updated headlamp housings that are squarish in shape. Additionally, a larger, silver-finished skid plate is now present on the lower portion. The only noticeable improvement to the SUV's side profile is the inclusion of new alloy wheels. Connected LED tail lamps at the back of the facelifted Creta replicate the inverted L-shaped design featured up front. Further alterations have been made to the rear bumper, which now has a larger silver skid plate for a more rugged look. 

Hyundai Creta Facelift: Powertrain Options

Three powertrain options will be available for the Creta facelift: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol mill, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. A six-speed manual, a six-speed iMT, an automatic torque converter, a CVT, and a seven-speed DCT gearbox are among the available transmission choices.

Hyundai Creta Facelift: Interior Features

With two integrated 10.25-inch displays (one for the infotainment system and another for instrumentation), the cabin of the all-new Creta has undergone extensive remodelling. A piano-black panel with ambient lighting is now located beneath an open storage space on the passenger side of the dashboard's upper part. Furthermore, the climate control panel was modified with touch-based controls, similar to those seen on the Seltos SUV. 

The facelifted SUV also comes equipped with features such as dual-zone AC, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, and a 360-degree camera. Nevertheless, it still has a panoramic sunroof, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, wireless phone charging, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and ventilated front seats. To ensure passenger safety, Hyundai is also providing features such as a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), six airbags, as well as electronic stability control (ESC).
