2023 Hyundai Creta – India Launch
Hyundai had launched the current Creta SUV in 2022. The Creta facelift is expected to be launched in the country in the second half of this year. It is expected to share most of the design and feature updates from the Indonesian model.
Design Changes
The 2023 Hyundai Creta facelift comes with an all-new front fasica that’s inspired from the new Tucson. Featuring the brand’s new Sensuous Sportiness design language, the new Creta will sport Hyundai’s new ‘parametric grille’ with neatly integrated LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lamps). The uniquely designed DRLs look like a part of the grille when turned off. The main headlamp unit is placed lower on the bumper. It comes with revised bumper with slimmer & wider air-inlet. Silver finish can be seen around the grille and the lower air-dam.
The side profile looks identical to the regular model without any significant changes. At the back, the 2023 Hyundai Creta comes with a revised tailgate design with sharp creases and new LED tail-lights. Hyundai has also removed the LED bar that connects the taillights, offering much cleaner design compared to the outgoing model.

The Creta facelift cabin design and layout of the dashboard is similar to the outgoing model. It comes with a new 10.25-inch digital instrument console, which is similar to the one offered in the Alcazar. The SUV will also receive an updated version of Hyundai’s BlueLink connected car tech. This tech offers new features like stolen vehicle tracking, stolen vehicle immobilisation and a valet parking mode.
The SUV will continue to offer the large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, air purifier and others.
The new Creta facelift will also come with Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS). It will offer safety features such as lane keep assist, blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking with forward collision avoidance and rear-cross traffic collision avoidance assist.
