The much-awaited second-generation Hyundai Creta has finally made its India debut at the ongoing Auto Expo 2020. The midsize SUV has received noticeable cosmetic changes and feature upgrades along with a new set of engines. The 2020 Hyundai Creta looks largely similar to the ix25 that was revealed in China last year. Though, the India-spec version features a differently designed grille that seems inspired by the Venue subcompact SUV. Read – Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Turbo Coming Soon

The design of the alloy wheels also distinguishes it from the China-spec Hyundai ix25. Though, the pronounced squarish wheel arches and split LED headlamps with LED DRLs and taillamps are carried over from the ix25. Compared to the previous model, the 2020 Hyundai Creta is longer and wider. Read – Hyundai Nexo FCEV SUV Unveiled at Auto Expo 2020
Interior of the 2020 Hyundai Creta is blacked out as we have seen in the Aura compact sedan. The SUV’s new-generation model also comes with a large panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen infotainment system with latest connectivity features and a 7-inch MID for instrument cluster. The new Creta also gets Hyundai’s BlueLink connected car technology along with the eSIM embedded into the infotainment system.
On the engine front, the 2020 Hyundai Creta has received major changes in form of new BS6-compliant petrol engine diesel motors. The SUV shares its powertrains with the Kia Seltos that includes a 1.5L petrol, a 1.5L diesel and a 1.4L turbocharged petrol. While the 1.5 petrol and diesel units are good enough for 115PS with 144Nm and 115PS with 250Nm respectively, the 1.4L petrol mill churns out 140PS with 242Nm.

All engines get a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. The company also offers a CVT automatic gearbox with the petrol, a 6-speed automatic with the diesel and a 7-speed DCT with the turbo-petrol.
The launch of the 2020 Hyundai Creta will happen in March. With significant design and feature upgrades and new BS6 engines, the SUV’s new-generation will surely be priced slightly premium over the old model.
