The Creta can be credited with single-handedly expanding the mid-size SUV segment into new heights ever since it went on sale by the middle of 2015. Over the last nearly half a decade, many manufacturers entered the space but only a few tasted grand success as the Creta. The arrival of Kia Seltos midway through last year has been a hammer blow for the Creta’s dominance in the segment.
The second-generation Hyundai Creta will be looking to get back its lost position in the segment as it features a wide powertrain choice, brand new exterior and interior, along with the addition of several new features and technologies.
The 2020 Hyundai Creta is priced between Rs. 9.99 lakh for the base diesel variant and it goes up to Rs. 17.20 lakh for the range-topping model (both prices, ex-showroom). The 1.4-litre turbo petrol is offered only in SX and SX (O) variants at Rs. 16.16 lakh and Rs. 17.20 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively. Here is the complete price list: (all prices, ex-showroom introductory).

A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system sits in the middle with Blue Link connectivity offering 50 connective features, alongside a seven-inch digital instrument cluster and a new flat-bottom steering wheel.
