Hyundai had showcased the new Creta facelift in the Indonesian market in November 2021. The 2023 Hyundai Creta facelift comes with significantly revised design and upgraded cabin. The company has recently launched the new model in South Africa. Hyundai India is yet to reveal the launch timeline of the new Creta, but it is expected to go on sale before the end of this financial year.
2023 Hyundai Creta Facelift Design Changes
The 2023 Hyundai Creta facelift will come with a completely revised front fascia, which is heavily inspired from the new Tucson. It comes with Hyundai’s new ‘parametric grille’ that stretches across the entire width and merges neatly with the LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs). The uniquely designed DRLs look like a part of the grille when turned off. It comes with revised bumper with slimmer and wider air-inlet. The rectangular-shaped headlights are placed slightly lower on the bumper.
At the back, the SUV gets revised tailgate design with sharp creases and new LED tail-lights. Hyundai has also removed the LED bar that connects the tail-lights, offering much cleaner design compared to the outgoing model. It also gets a revised bumper.
2023 Hyundai Creta Facelift Interior Features
The new Creta’s design and layout of the dashboard is identical to the existing model. It comes with new features like a revised 10.25-inch digital instrument console (similar to the Alcazar), and an updated version of Hyundai’s Bluelink connected car tech. The connected car tech offers new safety features like stolen vehicle tracking, stolen vehicle immobilisation and a valet parking mode. These features will be accessible via your smartphone. The SUV will continue to offer features like a panoramic sunroof, cooled front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay support, ambient lighting and an air purifier.
ADAS Tech
Hyundai has officially announced the new Tucson’s ADAS tech will also be offered on other models including the Creta, Alcazar and the next-gen Verna. The ADAS will offer safety features like adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic avoidance assist and autonomous emergency braking with forward collision avoidance.
Engine Options
The new Hyundai Creta Facelift won’t receive any mechanical changes. It will continue to be offered with the same set of engines – a 115bhp, 1.5L 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol, a 115bhp, 1.5L turbo-diesel and a 140bhp, 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol. Transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual, a CVT automatic, a 6-speed torque convertor automatic, a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and an iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission).
