The SUV is being offered across 14 variants, three BS6 compliant engine options, eight single tone shades and two dual-tone shades. Hyundai unveiled this second-generation car at the Auto Expo 2020 where it was one of the major highlights at the South Korean automaker’s stall.

Apart from the usual list of features (of a car in this segment), this second-generation Creta gets an eight-way adjustable driver’s seat, Bose sound system, panoramic sunroof, drive modes and electronic parking brake. Hyundai has fitted the Creta over 50 connected car features like remote engine start and smartwatch connectivity.

The Creta will be offered with BS6 compliant petrol and diesel engine options. The standard petrol motor is a 1.5-litre producing 112bhp/144Nm and can be had with a CVT or a six-speed manual. The more exciting petrol motor is a 1.4-litre Turbo GDi unit producing 138bhp/242Nm and is only being offered with a seven-speed DCT. The sole diesel on offer is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder unit producing 113bhp/250Nm and can be had with a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.

The Hyundai Creta is the most successful car in the segment since it was launched in 2015 and took the segment by a storm thanks to its combination of powerful engines and strong feature list.
