The most popular mid-size SUV in our market is about to receive a facelift and this walkaround video reveals quite a few characteristics of the upcoming Hyundai Creta facelift.
This detailed walkaround video of the India-bound Hyundai Creta facelift reveals some interesting bits. The mid-size SUV will make its entry into the Indian market sometime in mid-2022. This specific model is sold in the Indonesian market and resembles similarities with the one sold in India. While the sales of Creta are quite strong, the rise in competition can only be taken care of by keeping the product lineup fresh. This Creta will, therefore, borrow Hyundai’s design language from its international models like the Tucson.

Creta Facelift Walkaround Video – Exterior
At the front is where one would notice the freshness in design the most. The centre of attraction is the trademark Parametric grille with a 3D pattern, seamlessly integrated LED DLRs on the sides, projector headlights on the bumper, sporty redesigned front bumper, silver skid plate making the appearance modern. The sides feature 17-inch dual-tone machined alloy wheels almost similar to the current model, chrome door handles and roof rails. The rear section bears resemblance to the current model too but doesn’t look outdated at all.
Interior
The cabin layout remains almost identical to the current model as well. The list of features is expected to remain comprehensive including a large digital instrument cluster, massive digital infotainment display with connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, connected car tech, automatic climate control, height-adjustable and ventilated front seats, steering-mounted controls, auto-dimming IRVMs, BOSE audio system, cruise control, etc. There were some reports to suggest that the facelifted Creta could also come with ADAS features to aid the driver. Currently, the MG Astor is the direct rival that has ADAS functions.

Specs
The powertrain options on the facelifted Creta are likely to remain unchanged. This implies that the SUV will come with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol unit that produces 115 PS and 145 Nm of peak torque. The diesel engine is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder unit that also produces 115 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque. The third and the most exciting engine on offer is the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol T-GDI engine that produces 143 PS and 242 Nm and comes with a 7-speed DCT. The 6-speed manual CVT automatic transmission options are available as well. The prices of the Creta currently range between Rs 10.23 lakh and Rs 17.94 lakh, ex-showroom. It will be interesting to see if the facelifted version commands a slight premium or will Hyundai be able to offer it at almost a similar price range.
