- The headlamps are redesigned with a split-unit vertical design, adding a touch of modernity.
- The front bumper also gets a sportier update, while the overall silhouette of the Creta remains familiar.
- At the rear, the taillights receive minor tweaks, and the bumper undergoes a subtle reshaping. New dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels complement the refreshed look.
Interior Revamp:
- The cabin sees a significant upgrade with a completely redesigned dashboard layout.
- The highlight is the inclusion of twin 10.25-inch screens: one for the digital instrument cluster and the other for the infotainment system.
- The center console gets a revamp, featuring central AC vents and a single band of physical buttons, offering a cleaner and more modern look.
- The overall material quality and upholstery options are also expected to be improved.
Tech and Feature Enhancements:

- The infotainment system gets an update, offering improved connectivity features and potentially new functionalities.
- Other features like a 360-degree camera, heated and cooled seats, and a panoramic sunroof are expected to be available on higher trims.
Engine Options:
- The engine options are likely to remain unchanged, offering the familiar 1.5L petrol and 1.5L diesel engines with manual and automatic transmission options.
- However, the 1.4L turbocharged petrol engine has been replaced with a new 1.5L turbocharged petrol unit to meet the latest BS6 Phase 2 emission norms.
The Hyundai Creta facelift aims to maintain its strong presence in the compact SUV segment by offering a refreshed design, a more feature-rich interior, and the latest safety and technology advancements.
