The Hyundai Creta has been on the roads since 2015, with the second generation launched in 2020. It is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine making 115hp & the 1.5L diesel engine. The turbo variants make about 138hp with the 1.4L engine & variated turbo. As the competition increases in the segment, Hyundai needs to give a facelift to stay in the race.

These updates are inspired and heavily derived from the siblings such as Tucson & SantaFe sitting above Creta. Let’s look at what’s new:
- The facelifted Creta gets a new Paremertric Jewel front grille along with hidden DRLs following the same design. The front design has LED DRLs along with the dipped headlamps inspired by Tucson.
- The rear features boomerang-shaped taillights, which are similar to the current ones but with some tweaks. The boot also seems revised with new better-mounted stop lamps.
- The interior features could be derived from the Alcazar and include tech like a 360-degree camera. The sketch reveals a vertically positioned infotainment system with a D-cut steering wheel and a 3D speaker grille. It also shows a touch of silver on the gear knob.
- The interior does look alike except for the new orientation of the infotainment system; we can also expect a fully digital instrument cluster and some more features.
Although the features and tech are expected to be derived from the Alcazar, we can expect a little more as Hyundai needs to maintain its hold in the segment. Along with features such as blindspot monitoring, we can expect a panoramic sunroof too with the Creta facelift.Also Read: 2022 Hyundai Creta Spied, India Launch?There are no mechanical changes expected, and it would still be offered with the same powertrain options. The pricing might start from ₹10.50 lakhs and go higher if we also get an AWD variant. This facelifted version will hit the Indonesian markets before reaching India, and it might reach the Indian markets in the middle of 2022.
