Apart from these revisions, the equipment list will continue to feature a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and auto climate control. Safety will be covered by up to six airbags, electronic stability control, and rear parking sensors.
Under the hood, the Creta is powered by both petrol and diesel engines. It gets a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol (115PS/144Nm), a 1.5-litre diesel (115PS/250Nm), and a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol (140PS/242Nm). A 6-speed manual transmission comes standard with the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines. While the naturally aspirated petrol motor gets the choice of a CVT, the diesel engine is offered with an optional 6-speed torque converter. The 1.4-litre turbo-petrol comes with a 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch automatic) only.
The updated Creta is expected to go on sale in the upcoming weeks. Hyundai currently retails the compact SUV between Rs 9.99 lakh and Rs 17.67 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) but expect it to attract a premium. It takes on the Kia Seltos, Nissan Kicks, Renault Duster, Maruti Suzuki S-Cross, Mahindra Scorpio as well as the upcoming Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun.
