By Hyundai officially launched the Creta facelift in January and now the company has announced the first price hike for the SUV but the price hike is not uniform across the variants. The Korean manufacturer increased the price of selected petrol variants by Rs. 3500 while the price of E MT, SX (O) Turbo DCT and SX (O) Turbo DCT Dual Tone variants remains the same as earlier. Like petrol, Hyundai hasn’t increased the price of SX (O) AT and SX (O) AT Dual Tone diesel variants as these are popular among customers while all other diesel variants’ prices have been increased by Rs. 10,800.
The Creta offers lots of different engine and gearbox combinations as customers have the option to choose from 19 different variants. The most popular option is diesel which is available in either manual or automatic, which has a waiting period of 4-5 months depending on the City. The turbo petrol variants are also in hot demand as most of the variant’s waiting period extends to more than 3-4 months, which is surprising considering that this engine is for enthusiasts who focus more on performance rather than efficiency.
The Creta is loaded with features like dual-zone climate control, an 8-way electrically adjustable driver seat, an electronic parking brake and more. For the first time, the Creta gets level-II ADAS and comes with connected car features. The Creta is powered by a 1.5 L naturally aspirated petrol engine with 115 PS, a 1.5 L diesel engine with 116 PS and a 1.5 L turbo petrol engine with 160 PS. The gearbox options include manual and automatic gearbox options. Hyundai Creta competes against Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Toyota Hyryder and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
