New Hyundai Creta (facelift)
The Brazilian-spec Hyundai Creta has been officially unveiled at the 2016
Sao Paulo Auto Show. Live images from CARPLACE provide the first close look at
its new looks.
The Brazilian-spec Hyundai Creta gets a different
front fascia with new grille design, tweaked headlamps which feature LED
daytime running lights inside, restyled central air intake and bumper and
horizontal fog lamps. At the rear, this version stands out with
distinctive tail lights and bumper.
Inside, the climate control unit features a
different colour backlight. The infotainment system offers Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto smartphone integration compatibility.
The Hyundai Creta will be offered with two engines
in Brazil – a 1.6-litre flex-fuel engine that produces 130 hp at 6,300
rpm and 162 Nm of torque at 4,850 rpm and a 2.0-litre flex-fuel
engine that develops 166 hp at 6,200 rpm and 201 Nm of
torque at 4,700 rpm. That 1.6-litre engine will be available manual and
automatic transmissions, while the 2.0-litre engine will be linked to an
automatic transmission as standard.
The Brazilian-spec Hyundai Creta is built in
Piracicaba, Sao Paulo alongside the Hyundai HB20 and will go on sale in January
2017.
