Hyundai Motor is gearing up to introduce a longer version of the Creta, which most likely will come out to be the Creta 7-seat SUV. Albeit, the official name is yet to be confirmed. The Korean automaker has been busy testing the same car in and outside the country, and its prototype has been spotted undergoing tests several times in the past. The car is expected to make its global debut by the end-2021. Hyundai has also trademarked Alcazar nameplate in India, which might also be used for the longer version of Creta in the future.

While the test unit (above) is smartly hidden under heavy camouflage, some of the newer details including the alloys, roofline structure are easily visible. The new SUV will benefit from styling bits including a cascading grille with mesh pattern, split LED headlamps and taillamps, sporty bumpers, and dual exhaust ports. It will also get front parking sensors and roof rails. The alloy wheels design on the new SUV looks inspired by the wheels found on the Venue subcompact SUV.
