New Hyundai Creta will get revamped exteriors, interiors and under the hood it will feature a new engine for both petrol and diesel spec.
Hyundai Creta was first launched in 2015 and became an instant success in the Indian market. Now with the competition rising, a new Hyundai Creta is in the pipeline and its just not the cosmetic changes which will take place but the SUV will sport a new engine too.
New Hyundai Creta will discontinue the 1.4 and 1.6-litre diesel engine and 1.6-litre petrol engine. What’s in the store is new 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engine which will churn out 115 bhp each. These same engines are available in the Kia Seltos and are BS-VI compliant.
Kia Motors is a subsidiary of Hyundai and it’s no surprise that the upcoming Hyundai and Verna Facelift will use the same engines, seen on Seltos. Kia also provides a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine which makes 140 bhp and a peak torque of 172 Nm. This engine gets 7-speed DCT gearbox and is likely to make its way to the Creta.
