Update: Hyundai Creta launched in India at Rs 8.59 lakh
On the outside, the Creta gets black body cladding with faux scuff plates, a triple-slat hexagonal grille which will receive chrome treatment, angular headlamps with LED elements with projector elements, robust-looking front and rear bumpers, 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels depending on variant, neatly styled tail-lamps with LED and around 200mm of ground clearance.
The interior of the Creta is expected to be on the lines of the current i20 and Verna with a colour- coordinated dual tone dashboard with silver inserts and similar control surfaces. The top trims are expected to receive a touchscreen infotainment system.
Under the hood, the Creta is expected to get Hyundai’s 1.6-litre diesel engine developing 126bhp and 26.5kgm of torque mated to a six-speed manual and an automatic gearbox. The SUV is expected to come with a 1.6-litre petrol motor at a later stage.
The Creta will rival the upcoming S-Cross and Renault Duster when launched in the market. More details will be given out closer to the launch.
