The Hyundai Creta facelift has been spotted again under camouflage, giving us more hints at its updated design language. The second-generation Creta has been on sale in India since 2020 and this will be its first facelift. This update will bring a lot of changes to the popular compact SUV, and here is what the new spy video tells us:
Updated Design
The India-spec Creta facelift will have a unique design, different from the facelifted model sold overseas. The spotted test mule gets a new set of LED headlights and DRLs which seem to be bigger and more squarish. The front grille also seems to be redesigned with new inserts.
The side profile will look more or less the same as the current model, but the production-spec version should get a new set of alloy wheels and the rear profile here gets a split LED tail lamp setup with sequential turn indicators.
New Features
The dashboard of the updated Creta could not be seen in the spy video due to its camouflage but we can see that it sports a host of new features. It will get type-C charging ports for rear passengers, a 360-degree camera and a suite of ADAS features (hinted by the ADAS radar in the front bumper). The top-spec variants can also borrow the 10.25-inch digital driver’s screen from the Kia Seltos.
It will also retain the features of the current Creta, which include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, and an 8-way power adjustable driver seat. For passenger safety, it will continue to have six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC) and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
What Will Power It?
It will most likely retain the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (115PS/144Nm) and the 1.5-litre diesel engine (116PS/250Nm). Both these units get a 6-speed manual transmission. For automatic options, the former gets a CVT and the latter is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Hyundai can also introduce the Verna’s 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine which will replace the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol unit that was discontinued earlier. This unit makes 160PS/253Nm and should be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed DCT.
Launch, Price & Rivals
The updated Creta could arrive in 2024 at an expected starting price of around Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will continue to go up against the Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor, Honda Elevate, and Citroen C3 Aircross.
