Hyundai Creta Facelift Spied Testing Again Ahead of Launch, Reveals New Details

The Hyundai Creta Facelift has been repeatedly spotted undergoing testing both in India and overseas prior to its launch. And now, new spy images of the car from South Korea have appeared online. The most recent spy shots indicate a wider, more intimidating grille in addition to the tweaked LED DRLs. It's also anticipated that the rear bumper, wheel design, taillamp, and other design features will be modified. However, the car's overall size and silhouette appear to be unaltered in the spy photos. There is currently no official update, but speculations are rife that the automaker may introduce additional technologies like a 360-degree camera and an ADAS on the vehicle.

Hyundai Creta Facelift: Recent Spy Shots

Even though the test mule was completely covered, close inspection revealed a few design elements. The SUV appears to gain a new and wider grille, adjusted front and rear bumpers, new taillights, and blacked-out components like the ORVMs, shark-fin antenna, and roof rails. Additionally, an alloy wheel design like that of the current mid-spec Creta variant was seen on the most recent test mule. As mentioned above, the overall contour and proportions of the car seem to be intact.

Hyundai Creta Facelift: Interior and Features

There is no official confirmation, but it is anticipated that the model will have a revised interior theme with a new upholstery. It is also most likely to receive an ADAS suite, a 360-degree camera as part of a feature upgrade. A panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, six airbags, a fully digital instrument panel, and drive modes are already included in the current model. 

Hyundai Creta Facelift: Powertrain

The forthcoming revamped Creta SUV is likely to continue with the same set of engine options: a 1.5-litre NA petrol motor and a 1.5-litre diesel mill. There's no word from Hyundai, but a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol motor with a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed DCT gearbox might join this line. If reports are accurate, this unit will take the place of the 1.4-litre version, which was dropped from the range when the new BS6 Phase 2 norms kicked in.
