Early units of the Hyundai Creta facelift have
started arriving at dealer showrooms across Brazil this week, including test
drive units. The models available for sale are only the top-end 2.0 Pulse
and 2.0 Prestige, while the entry-level Creta 1.6 Attitude and Pulse variants
will start arriving mid-February.
In Brazil, the Hyundai Creta is available in six
variants, priced between BRL 72,990 – BRL 99,490. Note that the model on sale Brazil is locally manufactured at HMB’s
plant in Piracicaba, and is visually a bit different from the Hyundai Creta
sold worldwide.
The Brazil-spec Creta features a large hexagonal
grille, new bumper with a larger central intake, a pair of horizontal fog lamps
and silver garnish, new cluster design for the taillamps, shark fin antenna,
smaller reflectors and a bigger silver garnish on the rear bumper.
Engine lineup include a 1.6-litre flex-fuel engine
paired with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, or a 2.0-litre
flex-fuel engine only fitted with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
