Here’s a quick overview of what’s changed with the midlife refresh:

Updated Exterior

The 2024 Hyundai Creta gets a robust and bold exterior, building upon the glimpses seen in the multiple spy shots. Notable updates include a revised fascia with a new redesigned grille, a long LED DRL strip spanning the width of the bonnet, and revised squarish housings for the headlights. The lower section now features a more chunky skid plate finished in silver.

The SUV's profile remains largely unaltered, with the only difference being the provision of a fresh set of alloy wheels. At the rear, the facelifted Creta comes with connected LED tail lamps mirroring the inverted L-shaped design seen at the front. The bumper has undergone some tweaks as well, now featuring a bigger silver skid plate for the rugged look.

A Fresh Take For The Cabin

The interior of the 2024 Creta has been thoroughly redesigned, now featuring dual integrated 10.25-inch displays (one for the infotainment system and the other for instrumentation). The passenger-side of the dashboard's upper section now houses a piano black panel, below which there’s now an open storage space with ambient lighting. The climate control panel has been updated with touch-based controls just like its sibling the Kia Seltos.
