Watch our Hyundai Creta first look video
Hyundai has been aggressively testing its new small SUV all over India. This new SUV (Codename: GS) will hit our shores around August this year. Although launched in some international markets as the ix25, it's expected to be known by a different name here.
Featured here are the first spy photos of the new SUV in right-hand drive format, equipped with a manual gearbox with black and beige dual-tone interiors.
New name aside, Hyundai is in the process of tweaking this SUV to suit Indian tastes, in terms of interior fitments. Hyundai is expected to bring it in different interior shades as well. Our source tells us that Hyundai will bring in this new SUV with as many as three interior shade options, the base trims are likely to get an all black theme while the middle and high variants will get dual-tone shades in the form of either black-beige or black with blue or orange, like offered on the Hyundai i20 Active.
The spy pictures, sent by our reader Rishabh Neb clearly show that like all modern-day Hyundais, the new SUV’s interior follows a futuristic and premium theme with prominent use of contrast shades and a brushed aluminium trim. You can that a lot of equipment such as the steering wheel, control stalks, climate control buttons and gear knob are the same ones on other Hyundai offerings. Hyundai will also equip the higher variants of this SUV with a large touchscreen-infotainment system, placed at the very centre of the dash. This system will act as a display for the reverse camera and also serve functions such as navigation, along with features for audio such as Bluetooth, USB and aux.
