The Creta is followed in the lineup by the relatively new Hyundai Venue. It had previously received the N-line treatment from the automaker.

All variations now include two-step recliners, adjustable rear headrests, 60:40 split rear seats, and three-point seat belts across all front-facing seats as standard equipment.

The Indian government has pushed for stricter requirements for vehicle safety, such as a uniform crash test rating for all cars sold in the nation, the installation of six airbags in all cars and SUVs, and the use of three-point seat belts. It is anticipated that this regulation will go into effect in October 2023.
