Exterior
Though Hyundai is yet to reveal the complete exterior design, we can notice some significant overhauls on the front and rear profiles.
The facelifted SUV follows the brand’s ‘Sensuous Sportiness’, providing it with a futuristic appearance. It features a Venue-like rectangular grille up front, with width-spanning LED DRLs. Below is the new split quad-beam LED headlamp setup stacked vertically on the tweaked chunkier bumper.
Towards the rear, the facelifted Creta features a new tailgate, along with revised connected LED tail lamps that mimic the front DRL setup.
Changes on the inside are more significant with a new dashboard design, featuring twin 10.25-inch connected displays for infotainment and instrument cluster.
Notably, there’s a black piano panel on the passenger side housing side AC vents. Below is an open storage space with ambient lighting. The SUV also boasts a new touch-based AC control panel, sleek central AC vents, and a revised centre console tunnel.
On the features front, the upgraded SUV receives a 360-degree surround view system, dual-zone climate control, and ADAS suite, among others.
Features like panoramic sunroof, wireless smartphone charger, air purifier, ventilated front seats, BOSE sound system, connected car tech, six airbags, ISOFIX anchors, hill hold/descent assist, TPMS, ESC, etc., will be carried forward from the outgoing model.
