Looking ahead to 2024, Hyundai Motor India is all geared up to reveal a lineup of SUVs that holds the promise of enhancing the driving experience for its customers. From cutting-edge technology to sleek design, these upcoming Hyundai SUVs have ignited substantial anticipation within the automotive community across the country. Let us take a closer look at these vehicles in detail:

The Korean automaker has officially confirmed that the 2024 Creta Facelift will be unveiled on January 16, 2024. The mid-size SUV is set to showcase a muscular front grille inspired from the Hyundai Palisade, giving it a bold and distinctive road presence. Boasting new split LED headlight clusters and vertically designed LED DRLs, the upcoming Creta is assumed to make a strong visual statement.
The SUV is expected to feature a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite, an advanced infotainment system, and a 360-degree camera for enhanced safety and convenience. The refreshed Creta is expected to share engine options with the facelifted Kia Seltos, featuring a 1.5-litre petrol engine (115 bhp/144 Nm), a 1.5-litre diesel engine (116 bhp/250 Nm), and the segment's most powerful 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (160 bhp/253 Nm).
All-New Hyundai Creta EV
Hyundai Creta has consistently stood out as one of the best-selling products in Hyundai India's product portfolio, prompting the company to seek a replication of its success in the electric vehicle segment as well. Derived from its current internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart, this electric model will feature distinct design elements to establish its unique identity while sharing the same platform.
Upcoming Hyundai Creta EV is expected to be equipped with a 45-kWh lithium-ion battery, utilizing motors similar to those powering the Hyundai Kona. With a single-motor setup, the Creta EV is anticipated to deliver 136 bhp and 255 NM of torque.
Hyundai Alcazar Facelift
The 3-row SUV, Hyundai Alcazar, has been on the market for a considerable time. However, in contrast to Hyundai's other successful vehicles, the Alcazar fell short of meeting the brand's sales expectations. To reinvigorate the vehicle and bolster its sales, the upcoming Alcazar is anticipated to undergo cosmetic updates both externally and internally, akin to the 2024 Hyundai Creta.
Regarding the car's engine and transmission, it is expected that they will remain unchanged, with the updated Alcazar retaining the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines.
Hyundai Tucson Facelift
Globally unveiled by Hyundai, the facelifted Tucson is reportedly set to launch in India in 2024. While external updates are modest, the facelifted Tucson undergoes a substantial interior overhaul. With a new, sleeker front grille complemented by LED headlights and DRLs, the model showcases refreshed aesthetics.
Inside, the redesign is prominent, featuring two connected 12.3-inch touchscreens; one for the infotainment unit and the other for a digital instrument cluster. Further, it will come equipped with features such as a 360-degree camera, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, air purifier, powered boot opening, multiple airbags, ESP, Hill Hold Assist, and level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Moreover, noteworthy equipment will include a 10-way adjustable driver seat with a memory function, an 8-way adjustable passenger seat alongside ventilated and heated rear seats. The Hyundai Tucson Facelift will derive power from a 2.0-litre petrol and a 2.0-litre diesel engine, both coupled with 6-speed and 8-speed automatic transmissions.
