2024 Hyundai Creta Facelift: Old vs New Compared

Hyundai has revealed the interior of the 2024 Creta facelift as part of their teaser campaign with its exterior being leaked recently. When compared with the current Creta, it features an updated exterior design and a heavily revamped interior with plenty of new features. In this read, we will detail these changes on the new 2024 Creta by comparing it against the pre-facelift model.

Design

The 2024 Creta facelift undergoes a design revamp, especially in the front. It features a more squared look than the current Creta, boasting a new rectangular grille and a full-width LED DRL with an inverted ‘L’ shaped signature. It also gets an updated bumper that houses the squared-out LED headlights and sports a chunky skid plate which complements its overall boxy fascia.

In profile, except for the new alloy wheels, the overall silhouette of the 2024 Creta is similar to the one you currently see on our roads. At the rear, you get to see connected LED tail lamps, featuring a similar signature as the DRL.

While the pre-facelift Creta had a more rounded look to its design, the new-gen model has a more rugged and boxy aesthetic. Which one do you prefer: the facelift or pre-facelift? Let us know in the comments below. 

Interior

Hyundai has taken the interior game a couple of notches up. While the pre-facelift model gets a rather simple and no-nonsense design, the new one is much more premium with a dual-screen setup for the infotainment system and digital driver’s display. Plus, splashes of multi-colour ambient lighting elevates the overall upmarket look of the cabin. 

Features

Though the entire features list of the 2024 Creta has not been revealed yet, confirmed additions include a 10.25-inch fully digital driver’s display, dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera and Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS). It should continue to come equipped with features such as ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a Bose sound system.

And in addition to the aforementioned new features, the facelifted Creta’s suite of safety features will comprise six airbags, ABS with EBD, and electronic stability control as standard. 

Powertrain

The 2024 Creta will be re-introduced with a turbo-petrol powertrain which will be sourced from the Verna. Apart from that, the 2024 Hyundai Creta will continue to be offered with existing engine options which include a 116 PS 1.5-litre diesel and a 115 PS 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine. Take a look at all the engine options to be offered with the 2024 Hyundai Creta. 

Pricing and Launch 

Hyundai is all set to launch the 2024 Creta facelift on January 16, 2024. It will command a notable premium over the existing model, which starts from Rs 10.87 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2024 Creta will continue its rivalry with compact SUVs like the Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and MG Astor.
