New Hyundai Creta Exterior Design Officially Revealed Ahead of India Launch on January 16

The exterior design of the Hyundai Creta facelift has been revealed in a set of new official images, giving us the details of the upcoming mid-size SUV. The price announcement will take place on the 16th of January, with deliveries expected to commence later this month.  

A few days ago, we told you that the updated Creta would get a redesigned front fascia and, as you can tell from these images, the new SUV features an upright hood, a parametric black chrome grille, inverted L-shaped LED daytime running lights with an LED light bar, split LED headlamps, faux skid plates, and a reworked bumper. Meanwhile, the taillamp design and the LED light bar setup look quite similar to the ones at the front. What has also changed is that the rear bumper has been re-profiled, and the tailgate has been redesigned. Completing the look is a sporty spoiler, an integrated LED stop lamp, new dual-tone alloy wheels, and a shark fin antenna.
