The new Creta Facelift strikes a refined balance between premium appeal and practical SUV utility. Built by Hyundai India, it carries forward the Creta legacy in the compact-SUV segment while delivering fresh design, upgraded technology and smarter features. This model is aimed at drivers seeking a confident road presence, modern cabin comforts and advanced connectivity — all wrapped in a familiar, trusted platform.
Design
On the outside the facelifted Creta features a more upright nose with a bold black-chrome parametric grille and quad-beam LED headlamps, giving a strong ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ look. The connected full-width LED tail-lamps and redesigned bumpers add to the premium visual appeal. Inside the cabin, the dashboard is completely revamped with a twin 10.25-inch screen layout, new ambient lighting and fresh materials for a more upscale feel.
Engine & Performance
The Creta Facelift offers three engine options:
- A 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated petrol (115 PS/144 Nm) with 6-speed manual or IVT.
- A 1.5 litre turbo GDi petrol (160 PS/253 Nm) paired with a 7-speed DCT for sporty performance.
- A 1.5 litre U2 CRDi diesel (116 PS/250 Nm) with 6-speed manual or automatic. The claimed fuel efficiencies are competitive, such as ~17.4 kmpl for the petrol MT and ~21.8 kmpl for the diesel MT. Steering, suspension and dynamics have been tuned to deliver comfortable city drives and confident highway runs.
Key Features
- The updated Creta comes equipped with standout features:
- Dual 10.25-inch screens (infotainment + digital cluster).

Comfort & Convenience
Inside the Creta Facelift the focus is on passenger comfort and convenience. The cabin offers generous space for occupants, premium upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and plenty of storage and instrumentation refinement. Quietness and build quality have been given attention so the daily commute or longer travel remains enjoyable. Tech features like wireless charging, multiple USB-C ports and an intelligent infotainment interface raise the convenience bar.
Safety
Safety has been significantly enhanced: all variants come with six airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and a reinforced body structure.

With its refreshed styling, modern tech and broader engine/gearbox choices, it stays relevant in a highly competitive segment. It continues to compete with other premium compact SUVs and offers buyers a blend of style, functionality and value for money.
