2022 Hyundai Creta Facelift – What’s New?
The mid-life facelift update of the second-generation Hyundai Creta brings lots of cosmetical changes along with several new features. It borrows styling cues from the new Hyundai Tucson that includes an all-new ‘Parametric Jewel’ grille with seamlessly integrated hidden-type daytime running lamps (DRLs), vertically stacked LED headlamps, and redesigned bumper with wide air intakes for better cooling.
While the side profile of the car remains completely unchanged, the rear gets a revised tailgate with sharp creases and slightly updated LED tail lamps. It has also dumped the LED light bar placed between the tail lamps.
Fun Fact: Our sources have told us that Hyundai India had the option of opting for this new grille with the second generation Creta. However, the idea was dropped to keep the prices in check.
