Hyundai currently is basking in a positive response from the market for its new product: Exter. It formally declared that the SUV surpassed 50,000 reservations, with more than one-third of those being for the automated models. Aside from the most recent Exter, the automaker is also in the headlines for the most recent Creta Facelift sightings in Indian streets. The facelift model of the Creta has recently been spotted in road testing once more, indicating that the SUV could launch soon. Even though the Creta Facelift was disguised, several details were visible, such as the steel wheels, halogen headlamps, and more.

The spotted 2023 Hyundai Creta showed Steel wheels and halogen headlamps which suggested that the test mule might be the lower-spec variant.
