2020 Hyundai Creta launches later today in India and it boasts new technologies, redesigned exterior and heavily upgraded interior
The second-generation Hyundai Creta will finally go on sale today in India and it will play a significant role in upping the ante in the mid-size SUV segment currently ruled by Kia Seltos. Just hours before its launch, the company announced that bookings numbers of new Creta crossed 14,000 mark with over 50% for diesel version. The 2020 Hyundai Creta will more likely have a starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh, while the top-spec variant will likely cost around Rs 16.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
The new-gen five-seater will be retailed in three powertrain choices: a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated MPi petrol, a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel and a 1.4-litre turbo GDi petrol. The 1.5-litre petrol kicks out 115 PS and 142 Nm and the 1.5-litre diesel engine offers 115 PS and 250 Nm. The more powerful turbo petrol makes 140 PS and 242 Nm.
With wide engine choices, Hyundai is expected to cover a large band of customers with its new Creta and we will have to wait and see how it pans out in the sales charts in the coming months.
