Hyundai Creta 2024This is how your favourite SUV looks | See pics

By India Today Auto DeskIndia Today was the first publication to inform readers that the new Hyundai Creta will be launched in India in 2024 and not in 2023, as was claimed by almost the entire industry. Even the senior management of Hyundai Motor India told us that the updated SUV will enter the market next year and not this year. Now we have a piece of great news about the Hyundai Creta 2024.

The new Hyundai Creta has been spied and we have the images, courtesy autospy.net. The spy pics have come from Korea. Although it is heavily camouflaged, we can make out that there are certain very interesting changes to the exterior of the Hyundai Creta 2024.

Hyundai has refurbished the front as well as the rear of the new Creta. There are fresh LED headlamps, and LED DRLs. The grille is also new. A camera has been placed below the Hyundai badge at the front.

The rear of the Creta 2024 has been redone as well. The taillamps are new and are LED units. Even the rear bumper is new.

While the current model does not have ADAS, the new Hyundai Creta will boast this important feature. There will be front parking sensors as well.

The interior images of the Hyundai Creta 2024 giving us details about what new features have been added are not available yet. However, we expect Hyundai to tweak the cabin of the SUV substantially.

The Hyundai Creta currently has two engine options — 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol (115PS of maximum power and 144Nm of peak torque) and 1.5-litre diesel engine (116PS of maximum power and 250Nm of peak torque). The petrol unit has 6-speed MT and IVT automatic options. The diesel unit has 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT options. Earlier, there was a 1.4-litre turbo petrol motor on offer. It has been discontinued though and will soon be replaced by a 1.5-litre turbo petrol unit, which is already being used by the Hyundai Alcazar.

We expect these three engine options to be made available with the new Hyundai Creta, which will continue to rival the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun.

The Hyundai Creta 2024 price is expected to be in the range of Rs 12 lakh to Rs 21 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Hyundai Creta launch might be in the first half of next year.
