First launched in India back in 2015, Creta has been a runaway success for Hyundai and a car that has played an important role in shaping the path of compact SUVs in the country. While it received a face lift subsequently, the upcoming model promises to usher in a host of design changes, engine upgrades and feature additions.

In recent times, Creta had begun appearing rather jaded, especially against newer rivals like Seltos from Kia and MG's Hector. The 2020 edition of Creta was showcased at Auto Expo in February and was unveiled by Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Bookings for the car were opened on March 2 for a token amount of 25,000 and the company says that the response has been quite overwhelming. "We are overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response received from our Valued Customers that have chosen the new Creta," said Tarun Garg, Director – Sales, Marketing and Service, Hyundai Motor India. "

There are enough reasons to justify the interest in people for the Creta. A reliable as well as capable machine from the Korean car maker, the 2020 edition features several styling changes.

There is a 26.03 cm HD infotainment screen as well as a 17.78 cm Supervision Cluster with Digital Display and ambient lighting.

The car now gets a two-tone black and greige (grey plus beige) colour scheme with the top variant getting premium leather upholstery. It also gets Bose speakers, air purifier, two-step rear seat reclining option, rear window sunshade and - for the first time - gets drive modes like Eco, Comfort and Sport.
