A modernized grille advanced LED headlamps with a split pattern, and a redesigned bumper showcase Hyundai’s commitment to elevating the SUV’s aesthetic appeal. The side profile gains a touch of sophistication with new alloy wheels, while the rear end receives updated LED taillights and a refreshed bumper, contributing to a sleeker and more commanding presence on the road.
Luxurious Interior Evolution
Step inside, and the 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift promises a rejuvenated cabin experience. Expect a fresh color theme, new seat upholstery, and the focal point—a fully digital 10.25-inch driver’s display. The steering wheel undergoes an update, accompanied by an advanced infotainment system and an improved dual-zone automatic climate control, creating an ambiance of contemporary luxury.
Safety Takes Center Stage
In a significant stride towards safety, the Creta facelift introduces the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). This robust suite includes adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, emergency braking, high beam assist, collision avoidance, and lane keep assist, among other features. Hyundai aims to set new safety benchmarks in the segment.
Under the hood, the 2024 Creta facelift shares its engine lineup with the 2023 Kia Seltos facelift. Buyers can anticipate a 1.5-liter Turbo-GDi petrol engine producing 160PS, a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with 115PS, and a 1.5-litre CRDi VGT diesel engine offering 116PS. Transmission choices abound, including a 6-speed manual, 6-speed intelligent manual, intelligent variable transmission, 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a 6-speed automatic, catering to diverse driving preferences.
Price Projections and Market Impact
The current Hyundai Creta is priced between Rs 10.87 lakh and Rs 19.20 lakh (ex-showroom). With the comprehensive enhancements and added features, industry experts anticipate a modest price increase for the 2024 model. Positioned to rival the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, and Volkswagen Taigun, the Creta facelift aims to assert its dominance in the fiercely competitive mid-size SUV segment.
As January 16, 2024 approaches, the excitement surrounding the 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift continues to build. Enthusiasts and automotive aficionados alike eagerly await the moment when Hyundai unveils its masterpiece, setting new standards for innovation, style, and performance in the SUV landscape.
