The 2018 Hyundai Creta facelift has been launched in India today, May 21, at a starting price of Rs 9.44 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The facelifted Creta's powertrain options will remain unchanged with the 1.4 diesel (90PS, 220 Nm), 1.6 diesel (128PS, 260Nm) and 1.6 petrol (123PS, 151Nm) being carried over. These will be mated to the 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. See the full list of variant-wise features here.
The Hyundai Creta has been a strong seller for Hyundai since its launch three years ago and with these changes to the car's aesthetics and new features, Hyundai hopes to sustain its momentum in this segment. Its present competition includes the likes of the Jeep Compass, Renault Captur, Tata Hexa and Mahindra XUV500 with numerous new entrants expected in the next couple of years.
