Hyundai Creta Facelift Surpasses 75,000 Unit Booking Mark Within 2 Months of India Launch

The 2024 Hyundai Creta was launched on January 16 and, within two months since then, Hyundai has bagged 75,000 bookings for the midsize SUV. The milestone comes within a month after the car clocked the 51,000-unit booking milestone on February 2023. As part of 2024 updates, the Hyundai Creta gets a redesigned front fascia defined by an upright hood, a parametric black chrome grille, new quad beam LED headlamps, inverted L-shaped LED daytime running lights, faux skid plates, and a reworked bumper. The car also has a redesigned tailgate at the back with integrated tail lights that feature H-shaped LED components. Completing the look is a sporty spoiler, a bulky bash plate, an integrated LED stop lamp, new dual-tone alloy wheels, and a shark fin antenna.

Twin 10.25-inch screens – an infotainment screen with in-built navigation and a digital driver display are the biggest talking points of the Creta's interior. You also get redesigned central AC vents with a single band of physical buttons as well as new upholstery options, depending on the variant. Other bits include ambient lighting, ventillated front seats, a leatherette D-Cut steering wheel, leatherette door armrest covering, an eight-way powered driver’s seat, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, all-wheel disc brakes, six airbags, 360-degree cameras, and a Level 2 ADAS suite with 19 functions. 

Under the hood, the updated Hyundai Creta gets three engine options: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.5-litre diesel engine, and a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit. The first two units have been upgraded to adhere to stricter BS6 Phase II emission norms, pushing out 144Nm/113bhp and 250Nm/114bhp, respectively. Meanwhile, the new turbocharged GDi petrol engine puts out 158bhp and 253Nm of peak torque. For transmission, there are four options on offer: a 6-speed manual, an IVT, a 7-speed DCT (standard), and a 6-speed automatic. 

Price-wise, the new Hyundai Creta ranges from Rs. 11 lakh to Rs 20.15 lakh (ex-showroom). The SUV is offered in seven variants – E, EX, S, S(O), SX, SX Tech, and SX(O).

Hyundai Creta N Line to Launch on March 11 

Hyundai is all set to launch its third N Line model in India on March 11. The bookings for the upcoming car are underway for a token amount of Rs 25,000. The sportier version will be available in two variants: N8 and N10, both offered with a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol unit producing 158bhp and 253Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties will be taken care of by a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. 

While the company has yet to reveal interior details, we expect the Hyundai Creta N Line to offer an all-black theme with subtle red highlights, an N Line-specific three-spoke steering wheel, gearshift lever, metal pads, and leather upholstery. There could also be the same 10.25-inch screens as the Creta facelift – an infotainment screen with in-built navigation and a digital driver display. On offer will be three monotone and three dual-tone exterior shades.
