The Hyundai Creta facelift, which will go on sale in India on January 16, will compete with the Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and the soon-to-be Tata Curvv, among others.
For a nominal fee of Rs 25,000, Hyundai Motor India today announced that reservations for the 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift are now being accepted. On January 16, the new version of the market-leading mid-size SUV will go on sale. We anticipate the car will achieve even greater volume with this mid-life upgrade than it did in 2023, when it sold about 155,000 units, making it the company’s best-selling vehicle of the year.
The news that the new Hyundai Creta facelift will be released in 2024 was first reported by India Today. The SUV can be reserved at any Hyundai dealership or online through Hyundai’s Click To Buy program.
The Hyundai Creta was first introduced in India in July 2015. The fact that every third mid-size SUV sold in India is now a Hyundai Creta attests to its enormous popularity. Over 950,000 SUVs have been sold in the domestic market as of today.
Hyundai’s global design philosophy of ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ is applied to the 2024 Creta facelift. The new grille is accompanied by reworked quad-beam LED headlights. New LED positioning lamps have been installed, and the DRLs are linked by an LED strip. The taillights are a connected unit that mimics the front LED DRL setup. The front and back bumpers have also been updated. The vehicle also features new alloy wheels. The SUV’s appearance has been significantly altered.
Even inside the cabin, there are considerable upgrades, the most noticeable of which are an integrated infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster. A new touch display is used to control HVAC operations, adding to the premium feel. The new Creta facelift also includes a revised steering wheel. While the SUV comes standard with six airbags, the top-spec models include an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS).
Six monochromatic color options are available for Hyundai’s 2024 Creta facelift: Atlas White, Abyss Black, Titan Grey, Ranger Khaki, Fiery Red, and a brand-new Robust Emerald Pearl. Only one dual-tone color is available: Atlas White with a Black Roof. There are seven trim levels for the new Creta facelift: E, EX, S, S(O), SX, SX Tech, and SX(O).
In terms of engine choices, the Hyundai Creta 2024 is available with three different motors. With the introduction of the 1.5-liter Kappa Turbo GDi gasoline engine (160PS and 253Nm), the turbo gasoline option returns. Additionally, the 2023 Kia Seltos facelift makes use of this engine. Next up are 1.5-liter MPi gasoline (115 horsepower and 144 Nm) and 1.5-liter U2 CRDi diesel (116 horsepower and 250 Nm) choices.
Four gearbox options are available for the new Hyundai Creta: a 6-speed manual, a 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT), an intelligent variable transmission (IVT), and a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT).
The redesigned Hyundai Creta will compete with the Kia Seltos, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and the soon-to-be Tata Curvv, among other vehicles. The pricing of the 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift (ex-showroom) is anticipated to be between Rs. 11 lakh and Rs. 20 lakh.
