Hyundai has taken the wraps off the redesigned interior of the upcoming 2024 Creta facelift, unveiling a sneak peek as part of its teaser campaign. This revelation follows the recent leak of its updated exterior design, showcasing a comprehensive overhaul both inside and out. As we delve into the details, we will explore the significant changes introduced in the latest iteration of the Creta, comparing it to its predecessor to highlight the advancements and new features awaiting enthusiasts.

New Vs Old Design

The 2024 Creta facelift has undergone a significant design transformation, particularly at the front end. Sporting a more angular appearance compared to the current Creta, the facelift showcases a revamped rectangular grille, accompanied by a full-width LED DRL featuring an inverted ‘L’ shaped signature. The updated bumper integrates squared-out LED headlights and incorporates a robust skid plate, contributing to the overall boxy fascia of the vehicle.

In terms of profile, aside from the introduction of new alloy wheels, the 2024 Creta maintains a silhouette reminiscent of its predecessor that is familiar to our roads. Moving to the rear, connected LED tail lamps with a signature akin to the DRL complete the visual upgrades.

While the pre-facelift Creta boasted a more rounded design, the new-generation model embraces a rugged and boxy aesthetic. We invite you to share your preference between the facelift and pre-facelift designs in the comments below.

Interior

The interior of the 2024 Creta facelift marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor. With a dual-screen setup for the infotainment system and digital driver’s display, along with multi-color ambient lighting, the cabin exudes a more premium and upscale feel, setting a new standard for the Creta.

Powertrain Upgrades

Setting itself apart from its predecessor, the 2024 Creta is set to reintroduce a turbo-petrol powertrain sourced from the Verna. While retaining the familiar 116 PS 1.5-litre diesel engine and a 115 PS 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, the addition of the turbo-petrol option adds a new dimension to the engine lineup for the 2024 Hyundai Creta. Explore the diverse engine choices offered in the latest iteration of the Creta model.
