In a daz­zling reveal, Hyundai Motor India has unleashed the eager­ly await­ed Hyundai Cre­ta 2024 facelift, bring­ing a breath of fresh air to the mid­size SUV seg­ment. Priced com­pet­i­tive­ly from Rs 11 lakh (intro­duc­to­ry, ex-show­room pan-India), this revamped mod­el not only boasts a new look but also intro­duces a host of excit­ing fea­tures both inside and out. Let’s dive into the details that define the new Cre­ta and make it stand out on the road.

Hyundai Creta 2024: Exterior Marvel: A Stylish Makeover

Pre­pare to be cap­ti­vat­ed by the exte­ri­or trans­for­ma­tion of the 2024 Cre­ta. A stand­out fea­ture is the enlarged grille adorned with intri­cate para­met­ric details, har­mo­niz­ing seam­less­ly with the revamped light­ing set­up fea­tur­ing split head­lamps and a full-width light­bar. The rear end, now fea­tur­ing angu­lar con­tours and full LED tail-lamps con­nect­ed by a daz­zling LED strip, adds a touch of mod­ern flair. The front end has under­gone a makeover for a more con­ven­tion­al and less polar­iz­ing look, thanks to updates in grille head­lamps, scuff plates, and bumpers. While the pro­file main­tains its sleek appeal, the addi­tion of new alloy rims injects a breath of fresh sophis­ti­ca­tion. The result? A rugged yet mod­ern aes­thet­ic that sets the Cre­ta apart in the com­pet­i­tive com­pact SUV are­na.

Interior Elegance: A Sanctuary of Comfort and Tech

Step inside, and the Cre­ta facelift wel­comes you with a redesigned dash­board boast­ing a 10.25-inch touch­screen equipped with updat­ed soft­ware. Bor­row­ing from its larg­er coun­ter­part, the Alcazar, the dig­i­tal dri­ver’s dis­play behind the steer­ing wheel adds a futur­is­tic touch. The dash­board embraces a clean­er look, inte­grat­ing lighter colours and cop­per details for a sophis­ti­cat­ed ambiance. The cen­ter con­sole, now revamped with con­trols for the dual-zone cli­mate, com­ple­ments the high-tech feel. Rear pas­sen­gers are treat­ed to new USB C‑Type charg­ing points, ensur­ing seam­less con­nec­tiv­i­ty. While the over­all lay­out remains famil­iar, these changes ele­vate the inte­ri­or to a new lev­el of ele­gance.

Cutting-Edge Features and Safety

Hyundai has left no stone unturned in ele­vat­ing the Cre­ta’s fea­tures and safe­ty aspects. The tech suite not only includes the impres­sive 10.25-inch dig­i­tal dis­play but also intro­duces sup­port for 12 Indi­an lan­guages. A star addi­tion is the 360-degree cam­era, pro­vid­ing an immer­sive view of your sur­round­ings. Safe­ty takes cen­ter stage with all vari­ants equipped with six airbags as stan­dard. High­er-spec mod­els steal the show with Advanced Dri­ver Assis­tance Sys­tems (ADAS), lever­ag­ing radar and cam­era tech­nol­o­gy for 19 func­tions, includ­ing auto emer­gency brak­ing and adap­tive cruise con­trol. The pack­age also includes an onboard air puri­fi­er, a two-step adjustable rear seat back­rest, rear seat head­rest pil­lows, and sun­shades. For those tech enthu­si­asts, con­nect­ed car tech­nol­o­gy seam­less­ly inte­grates into high­er trims, allow­ing for con­ve­nient con­trol via smart­phones.

Dynamic Powertrain Options

Under the hood, the 2024 Cre­ta main­tains con­ti­nu­ity by offer­ing the trust­ed 1.5‑litre petrol and diesel pow­er­plants. The nat­u­ral­ly aspi­rat­ed petrol engine, deliv­er­ing 115PS of pow­er and 144 Nm of torque, pro­vides the zest, avail­able with a 6‑speed man­u­al or a CVT auto­mat­ic gear­box. The diesel pow­er­house churns out 116PS of pow­er and 250 Nm of torque, paired with either a 6‑speed man­u­al or a 6‑speed auto­mat­ic trans­mis­sion. How­ev­er, the real show­stop­per is the intro­duc­tion of a new 1.5‑litre tur­bo-petrol engine, replac­ing the pre­vi­ous unit. This pow­er­house, exclu­sive­ly mat­ed to a 7‑speed DCT auto­mat­ic trans­mis­sion, unleash­es 160PS of max­i­mum pow­er and 253Nm of peak torque for an exhil­a­rat­ing dri­ving expe­ri­ence.

Pricing Excellence and Fierce Competition

With sev­en variants—E, EX, S, S(O), SX, SX Tech, and SX (O)—Hyundai strate­gi­cal­ly posi­tions the Cre­ta facelift, cov­er­ing a spec­trum of pref­er­ences. While intro­duc­to­ry prices see a slight uptick, the com­pre­hen­sive upgrades more than jus­ti­fy the increase. Start­ing at Rs 11 lakh for the base E trim, prices ascend to Rs 20 lakh for the top-tier SX (O) trim in Diesel/AT and tur­bo-petrol/D­CT pow­er­train con­fig­u­ra­tions. Posi­tioned at the heart of the mid­size SUV brack­et, the refreshed Cre­ta enters a fierce com­pe­ti­tion are­na, tak­ing on rivals such as the Cit­roen C3 Air­cross, Kia Sel­tos, Maru­ti Grand Vitara, Toy­ota Urban Cruis­er Hyry­der, Hon­da Ele­vate, Sko­da Kushaq, MG Astor, and the Volk­swa­gen Tai­gun.

In con­clu­sion, Hyundai’s 2024 Cre­ta facelift is not just a vehi­cle; it’s a show­stop­per. With its revamped design, enhanced fea­tures, and a diverse range of pow­er­train options, the Cre­ta solid­i­fies its posi­tion as a for­mi­da­ble con­tender in the high­ly com­pet­i­tive com­pact SUV seg­ment. Buck­le up for an exhil­a­rat­ing jour­ney ahead!
