2020 Hyundai Creta Launched In India; Priced From Rs. 9.99 Lakh

2020 Hyundai Creta gets a host of exterior and interior changes and is offered with three BSVI compliant engine options

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).

As for the exterior, the new Creta resembles the latest ix25 retailed in China. It comes with 3D cascading front grille, split headlamp cluster with LED headlamps and LED Daytime Running Lights, brand new bumper, bull-bar shaped silver cladding, redesigned fog lamps section, 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, new LED taillamps, attractive floating roof design, and other changes.

The interior of the 2020 Hyundai Creta is entirely different from the ix25 sold in China as it adorns a dual-tone theme with minimalistic approach having less use of physical buttons and a new dash.

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.

Other key equipment include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, electric parking brake, ambient lighting, smartwatch app connectivity, reverse parking camera, rear air conditioning vents, TPMS and a host of other features.

As for the powertrain, the new Hyundai Creta uses 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol as the Kia Seltos.

The 1.5-litre MPI petrol develops 115 PS and 144 Nm while the 1.5-litre diesel kicks out 115 PS and 250 Nm. The smaller turbocharged petrol unit makes 140 PS and 242 Nm. The engines, except 1.4 turbo, are paired with a six-speed manual transmission as standard while optionally a six-speed torque converter AT for diesel and six-speed CVT for petrol with a seven-speed DCT for the turbo petrol the only choice.

The new Creta measures 4,300 mm in length, 1,790 mm in width, 1,635 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2,610 mm. More than 14,000 bookings have been made for the Creta already. The 1.5-litre petrol engine with MT returns 16.8 kmpl while the 1.5 litre petrol IVT has 16.9 kmpl, 1.4-litre turbo GDi with a seven-speed DCT returns 16.8 kmpl, the 1.5-litre diesel MT is more frugal at 21.4 kmpl and the 1.5-litre diesel AT at 18.5 kmpl.
