Since the introduction of the first generation model eight and half years ago, Hyundai has sold a Creta every five minutes totalling overall sales of 9.8 lakh units to date. Those are staggering numbers, especially for a car with an average ex-showroom price of Rs 15 lakh. Even the arrival of newer - some better equipped, some better than the Creta in certain other aspects - hasn’t been able to shake Indian ar buyers’ love for this SUV. Just under our years from the arrival of the second generation Creta, Hyundai has given its best eller a major overhaul with a significant redesign of the exterior and interior, more features, enhanced safety and a new turbo petrol powertrain.
Both the front and rear sport a completely new design, dropping the outgoing version’s curvy elements in favour of a more squared-off approach. There’s a full-length LED light bar ending in inverted L-shapes at its extremities up front, complemented by an identical design for the stop lamps at the back. The headlamps, LEDs in case of higher-end trims, sit lower down detached from the DRLs. The new rectangular grille sports a dark chrome finish and there’s a healthy use of black cladding on the bumpers, which, along with grey lower sections, impart a more rugged look than before.
