However, the engine specifications remain the same as before. Interested in knowing how exactly the new version of the Creta is different from the older one? Well here is a detailed specification based comparison report between the two versions of this urban SUV.
Hyundai Creta Facelift Vs Creta Old: Design
The overall design of the 2018 Creta remains identical to the current spec model. That said, Hyundai has given some minor tweaks to the new version of this vehicle. For instance, the front fascia of the Creta now comes with a redesigned bumper. It has a slightly more curvaceous design around the edges. Furthermore, the chrome grille also bears a little change. The faux skid plates under the bumper are now more prominent than before. The side profile of the compact SUV is going to remain identical with this update. The only major visual change is the new Diamond cut alloy wheels. From the rear, the Creta Facelift remains similar to the current spec model. However, it too comes with a restyled bumper.
Hyundai Creta Facelift Vs Creta Old: Interiors
Just like the exterior profile of the 2018 Creta, the interiors too remain the same as before. The overall layout of the dashboard and other elements will stay identical, which is nothing to complain about. The cabin will continue to come with a dual-tone colour scheme of black and beige. However, just like the i20 facelift, we can see Hyundai darkening the beige component a bit to prevent soiling.
