Hyundai Creta & Alcazar Adventure Edition
The upcoming Adventure editions of the Creta and Alcazar are likely to showcase the new Ranger Khaki color, which was recently introduced with the Exter model. Hyundai seems to be incorporating this new color to give the SUVs a more adventurous and rugged appearance. This decision might have been influenced by the strong demand for the Ranger Khaki color on the Exter.
Furthermore, we can expect to see black accents on various parts of the SUVs, complementing the Khaki color theme. Additionally, the brand may introduce some modifications to the bumpers, side profile, and interior of these editions. Inside the cabin, the interior is anticipated to feature a dash of the same Khaki color treatment, possibly on elements like the dashboard and seat upholstery, adding to the overall adventurous vibe of the vehicles.
On the features front, we don't expect any changes, and the brand will continue to offer the same set of features based on the variants offered with the Adventure edition. The Adventure edition is expected to be offered in multiple trims for both Creta and Alcazar.

Hyundai Creta & Alcazar Adventure - No Mechanical Changes
The Creta and Alcazar Adventure editions will retain the same engine and transmission options as the standard variants. The Hyundai Creta is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, delivering 113bhp of power and 144 Nm of peak torque. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual or an IVT. It also gets a 1.5-liter diesel engine generating 114 bhp and 260 Nm of peak torque. This engine can be coupled with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission.
As for the Alcazar, it shares the same diesel powertrain as the Creta, which is a 1.5-liter diesel engine. In addition, the Alcazar Petrol variant is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine, producing 158 bhp and 253 Nm of peak torque. This engine can be paired with either a 7-speed DCT or a 6-speed manual transmission.
Verdict
The introduction of the new Adventure Edition for the Hyundai Creta and Alcazar might be aimed at giving these SUVs a fresh and appealing makeover. With the incorporation of the new color addition, the brand is likely to raise the prices of these editions. However, this move is expected to attract more customers as the SUVs will now boast a more adventurous and captivating look.
