Spoilt For Choice

2024 Hyundai Creta

Hyundai will continue to sell the Creta with both 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engine options as before. It will now also come with the new Verna’s 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, but with just one transmission option. Here’s a look at all the technical details:

Specification	1.5-litre N.A. Petrol	1.5-litre Turbo-petrol (New)	1.5-litre Diesel
Power	115 PS	160 PS	116 PS
Torque	144 Nm	253 Nm	250 Nm
Transmission	6-speed MT, CVT	7-speed DCT	6-speed MT, 6-speed AT

There’s only one change compared to the Verna’s turbo powertrain here: unlike the sedan, which comes with both 6-speed MT and 7-speed DCT options for the turbo unit, the Creta will be limited to the 7-speed automatic only.

Variant-wise Powertrain Options

The new Creta will be sold in 7 broad variants: E, EX, S, S (O), SX, SX Tech, and SX (O). Here’s a look at all the variant-wise engine-gearbox combos that will be on sale:

Variant	1.5-litre Petrol MT	1.5-litre Petrol CVT	1.5-litre Turbo-petrol	1.5-litre Diesel MT	1.5-litre Diesel AT
E	✅	❌	❌	✅	❌
EX	✅	❌	❌	✅	❌
S	✅	❌	❌	✅	❌

SX	✅*	❌	❌	❌	❌
SX Tech	✅*	✅*	❌	✅*	❌

*Also available in dual-tone option

The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with the manual transmission is the only powertrain that will be offered across the entire variant lineup of the new Creta. On the other hand, the turbo-petrol unit will be reserved for the range-topping SX (O) trim. Meanwhile, the diesel engine is offered on all variants except the new Creta SX.

The mid-spec S (O) and the top-spec SX (O) are the only variants to offer the maximum powertrain choices (four and five, respectively).
