2024 Hyundai Creta Spotted
The upcoming Creta facelift's test mule, which was recently spotted, was carefully camouflaged, covering off most of its elements. But some hints emerged, notably in relation to the lighting design. To make the Creta compatible with the brand's newest models, like the Exter and the upcoming Hyundai Santa Fe for overseas markets, it is anticipated that the front and back lighting may be redesigned. The LED DRLs in the front appear to be influenced by the Palisade, while the headlamp housing has changed orientation to vertical, indicating a new visual approach.
The 2024 Creta is also anticipated to get revised alloy wheels with a new design, potentially keeping the multi-spoke pattern from the current model. This will affect the side profile. Moving to the back, it is predicted that the tail lamp design would be updated, taking cues from Hyundai's most recent design language, particularly the connected lamp concept used in cars like the Venue.
The Creta currently offers a wide variety of features, however due to increased competition and new releases, it has lagged behind in some areas. But various new features are anticipated to be added in the 2024 redesign to solve this. A 360-camera, an ADAS suite, dual-zone climate control, and a new button and dashboard layout are among the anticipated upgrades. The 2024 Creta will continue offer the same features as the outgoing model, like the 10-inch infotainment system, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and others.

2024 Hyundai Creta - Engine
The upcoming 2024 Creta is expected to introduce a new powertrain option, namely a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine. This engine recently debuted in the Hyundai lineup with the Verna. It delivers a power output of 160 bhp and a peak torque of 253 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Additionally, the Creta is likely to continue offering the existing engine choices, which include a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.5-liter diesel engine.
Verdict
Despite being an older model, the Hyundai Creta is still one of the top mid-size SUVs on the Indian market. The lengthy waiting period while purchasing this SUV is proof of its popularity. The anticipated facelift is expected to strengthen this position. According to reports, the Creta makeover will be launched in February 2024. The 2024 Hyundai Creta will continue to compete with the KIA Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, and MG Astor.
