Creta gets three new engines to choose from. It borrows all the engines from the Seltos, with slightly higher power figures. The 1.5 Litre petrol engine produces 115 PS and 147 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed manual and an IVT (Automatic) gearbox. The 1.5 Litre diesel engine produces 115 PS and 255 Nm of peak torque paired with a 6-speed MT and a 6-speed torque converter AT.
The third and the most anticipated engine on offer is the 1.4 Litre TGDI turbo-petrol engine. The motor produces 140 PS and 247 Nm of peak torque. Unlike the Seltos which offers a manual gearbox also, the Creta only gets a 7-speed DCT as standard. Plus, for the extra adrenaline, you have paddle shifters with the DCT gearbox.

2020 Hyundai Creta continues to rival the likes of Kia Seltos, Renault Captur and Nissan Kicks. However, with its expansive price range, it also goes against Tata Harrier and MG Hector. Amongst all, Seltos remains its prime competitor and now, in the coming months, we will see the proper outcome.
