The Hyundai Creta is a mid-size SUV, which was available for sale in the Indian market from July 2015 and got a second generation back in March 2020. Soon, it will get a third-generation model; the same has been spotted testing on public roads multiple times. Recently, it was again spied; the test spy video of the same has revealed the interior.
Previous spy images have already revealed that this mid-size car is coming with many upgrades on the exterior, including dimensional changes. Hyundai hasn’t yet revealed any other official details for this upcoming car. Even regarding its launch timing, nothing is officially confirmed. Reportedly, the brand will launch it somewhere in 2027.
Equipped with the Pleos infotainment touchscreen.
In the spied video of the new-generation Hyundai Creta, we can see the front row from the driver’s windscreen. A new two-spoke steering wheel before the co-passenger seat is clearly visible; it has a block of physical buttons for shortcuts. Another notable thing inside the cabin is the Pleos infotainment screen.
A sleek digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel showing all the driving data clearly can also be seen, whose size is still undisclosed. The dashboard, seats and door trims can be seen in off-white and grey colours, and it also appears that the seats in the front row will be electronically adjustable for enhanced comfort.
Reports suggest electric boss mode. In the segment, the only model that gets this feature is the Tata Sierra, but it is manually operated. The upcoming Hyundai car may become the first model with the powered Boss mode. Reports suggest that its cabin will retain many features that we get to see on the outgoing model.
The exterior design is still under the wrap.
The third-generation Hyundai Creta will have a new front-end design with the new grille and revised bumper. The lighting signature also seems to be revised for more pronounced appearances. Like the front, the sides are also under the camo, but a few things are clear: the door handles will be pull-type, and the outside rear view mirror will stay on the A-pillars.
Rear design details are also undisclosed. Reportedly, the back will also have upgrades and improvements to give it a fresh appearance. Revised taillights and bumpers are most expected at the rear. It is found in many reports that the all-new version will have a larger body with an increase in length, width and height, and even in wheelbase for a more spacious feel.
The powertrain is reported to be familiar to the outgoing model.
For the all-new Hyundai Creta, the same powertrain options will be available in India that are offered with the existing model. These options are 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol-powered, 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated, and 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel-powered.
Notably, in the outgoing model, the NA internal combustion engine delivers 115 PS with either a 6MT or IVT; the turbo-petrol put out 160 PS and is offered with a 7-DCT; and the turbo-diesel cranks 116 PS with either a 6MT or Automatic. Even a new, strong hybrid powertrain is reported to be introduced, but no details regarding the same have emerged officially.
Reportedly, the strong hybrid option will be added to the lineup a few months after the debut. The strong hybrid option is expected to get a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with two electric motors and dedicated hybrid transmission and an LPF battery pack that will support self-charging via regenerative braking.
