Hyundai Motor India has announced a price hike for the Creta Facelift, marking the first increase since its introduction. Despite the price increase, the Hyundai Creta retains its existing features without any additions. Notably, the South Korean automaker has strategically maintained the pricing of the base E 1.5 MPI MT variant and the two top-of-the-line SX (O) trims. Consequently, the Creta Facelift retains its entry price of Rs 10.99 lakh and peaks at Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom).
