Changes in Styling and Specs
The upcoming facelift of the Hyundai Creta promises significant cosmetic changes, taking design inspiration from the global-spec Hyundai Palisade SUV. Notably, the front end will undergo a complete overhaul with a fresh grille, vertically oriented split-pattern headlamps, a revised bumper, and distinctive H-shaped LED DRLs reminiscent of the Exter micro SUV. While the alloy wheel design may remain consistent, there’s a possibility of larger 18-inch wheels, similar to those on the Alcazar. The rear bumper is also slated for an update, and the redesigned tailgate will provide the Creta with a rejuvenated appearance from the rear.
Regarding its powertrain, the 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift will incorporate the 1.5L turbo petrol engine from the Verna, delivering 160bhp. Buyers can expect both manual and 7-speed DCT gearboxes as options. Furthermore, the existing 115bhp 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol and 115bhp 1.5L diesel engines will remain available.
