2024 Hyundai Creta Facelift Exterior Design Spied

Hyundai is planning to introduce the Creta facelift in India by early next year. The Korean automaker is currently busy testing the mid-size SUV, with test mules already spotted multiple times. Now, the latest spy shots have revealed some of the design elements of the upcoming model.

Globally, the Creta already received a facelift back in 2021. But this updated model never made it to the Indian market. Instead, as per media reports we will receive a fresh facelift with styling cues inspired from the Palisade SUV. We take a closer look.

While the test mule in the latest spy shots is clad in heavy camouflage, one can notice the new design changes on the Creta facelift. The front end features a vertical split headlight cluster and LED DRLs. It will also get an all-new grille design inspired by Palisade’s grille. Moving to the sides, the profile will largely stay similar to the current model but is expected to receive a new set of alloy wheels. The rear end of the vehicle is likely to provide a redesigned boot lid, new LED taillights with a full-width lightbar, and a tweaked bumper.

Besides these, it will feature a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit capable of producing a maximum power output of 160 bhp with 250 Nm of peak torque. Both manual and automatic transmission options will be available in the product line-up.
