Hyundai Creta (Brazil)
Hyundai Motor Brasil has released teasers of the
Brazilian-spec Hyundai Creta and confirmed that it won't use the ‘Hyundai
ix25’ nameplate for the SUV.
The Brazilian-spec
Hyundai Creta is considerably different from the Indian-spec Hyundai Creta in
terms of design and styling. Up front, the Brazilian model appears to have
chrome surrounding on the radiator grille which also could be different,
horizontal fog lamps and differently styled bumper. At the rear, the tail lamps
have been tweaked, while the tailgate appears to have a full-width chrome strip
between the tail lamps. The reflectors and bumper appear different as well.
The Brazilian-spec Hyundai Creta will reportedly get
powered by the Hyundai HB20’s 1.6-litre CVVT flex-fuel engine that produces up
to 128 hp and up to 161.81 Nm of torque. This engine
could be offered with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.
The Brazilian-spec Hyundai Creta will be built at
the Piracicaba plant in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It will reportedly debut at the 2016
Sao Paulo Auto Show in November and go on sale in 2017.
