Only the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines of the Creta now remain on sale

Hyundai Creta

  • 140PS, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol variants of the Creta are no longer available. 

  • The 115PS, 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines can be had with manual and automatic transmissions. 

  • However, the Creta will get the new Verna’s 1.5-litre TGDi turbo-petrol engine, which could deliver up to 159PS. 

  • The new engine is likely to be offered soon. 

Hyundai has silently discontinued the turbo-petrol engine of the Creta, which was available with the S Plus and SX (O) variants. The compact SUV is now available with its naturally aspirated petrol and diesel engines only.

Hyundai offered the Creta with a 140PS, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine, which was paired with a seven-speed DCT (dual clutch automatic). The same engine does its duties on the Kia Seltos and Carens as well, which are also expected to be sold without the turbo-petrol option anytime soon.

The Creta is now available with 115PS, 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines. While a six-speed manual transmission is standard for both, the petrol gets an IVT (CVT) and the diesel gets a six-speed torque converter AT as well.

Meanwhile, Hyundai has just teased the new Verna, which will debut Hyundai Group’s 1.5-litre TGDi turbo-petrol engine in India. The same turbo-petrol is used on the i30 and the engine delivers 159PS and 253Nm. We’re expecting the same spec for the Creta as well, with six-speed manual and seven-speed DCT transmissions, like the Verna.
