The 2020 Hyundai Creta comes with the same 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and 1.4-litre turbo petrol powertrains as its cousin, the Kia Seltos
Hyundai Motor India Ltd finally launched the second-gen Creta in India on 16th March at a starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh for the base variant, which goes up to Rs 17.20 lakh for the top-end trim (both prices, ex-showroom). At this price point, the car is currently at par with its arch rival, the Kia Seltos in the market.
Take a look at this variant-wise price comparison of the 2020 Hyundai Creta with its cousin and currently the highest-selling mid-size SUV in the country, the Kia Seltos in the table given below. Do note that both the 2020 Creta and Seltos are offered with three different powertrains, and hence we have compared each of them separately –

Hyundai has priced the entry-level petrol trim of the new-gen Creta at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), which is Rs 10,000 more than what Kia retails the base HTE trim of the Seltos. On the other hand, the range-topping SX(O) variant of the Creta with an IVT automatic transmission has been priced at Rs 16.15 lakh, whereas the Kia Seltos HTX IVT will set you back by Rs 14.09 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
