Hyundai Motor India, on Tuesday, launched its much anticipated 2024 facelift of Creta SUV. The refreshed Creta has 19 variants, including five engine and gearbox options.
Prices start at ₹11 lakh for the entry-level E petrol-manual variant and go up to ₹20 lakh for the top-spec SX(O) diesel-automatic trim. These prices are introductory and are likely to change in the future.
Hyundai began accepting bookings for the Creta facelift earlier this year. Customers could reserve their vehicle for a token amount of ₹25,000.
The new Creta features a robust design with connected LED daytime running lights and a more prominent square grille. The headlights are now more square-shaped, and the bumper sports substantial cladding and a chunky skid plate, giving the vehicle a rugged look. The silhouette remains largely unchanged, save for new alloy wheels. At the rear, the SUV features new connected LED tail lamps and a chunky bumper.

The interior of the Creta has been heavily overhauled, featuring a dual-tone theme with light colours and piano black elements. The dashboard has been completely redesigned to accommodate dual 10.25-inch screens, giving the cabin an upmarket look. Ambient lighting adds a touch of flair throughout the cabin, and the air conditioning controls now include physical knobs and buttons for enhanced functionality.
