Hyundai is preparing to introduce the all-new Creta to the world on January 16. However, before the launch, several spy images of the SUV have been circulating on the internet. The car was spotted again during road tests, revealing the presence of a new digital instrument cluster with white dials that looked to have been borrowed from the Hyundai Alcazar. Other prominent interior features such as a 10.25-inch central screen and a two-spoke steering wheel also seem to be included. The new Creta is likely to shake up India's SUV industry with its possible exterior changes like a revamped bumper, redesigned tailboard, and new grille. With several interior and exterior modifications, the upcoming Hyundai SUV is likely to have a higher price tag than the outgoing model, which is priced at Rs 10.87 lakh (ex-showroom).
