Hyundai will soon introduce a small update to the
2017 Hyundai Creta which, according to a leaked brochure scan from the Hyundai
Creta Group Facebook page, will get a host of new cosmetic and equipment
upgrades.
Hyundai will offer dual
tone color options in the Creta SX+ grade, which comes with a Phantom Black
color roof and the option of Polar White or Red Passion colors. Although the
SX+ grade has an automatic transmission as an option in both petrol and diesel
variants, the dual tone color option is exclusive to the variants with a manual
gearbox.
The Creta SX+ with dual tone exterior also
exclusively gets an all black interior with red and black fabric upholstery,
while other models stick to the beige and black combination. The Creta S+, SX+,
SX+ Dual Tone & SX(O) get an Arkamys Sound Mood system as standard, and the
7-inch AVN system gains Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
Another minor update is that the Creta E+ grade can
be spec’d with the 1.4L CRDI U2 diesel engine, which was previously exclusive
to the base E grade. It develops 90 PS and 22.4 kgm of
torque, and paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Other engine options include
the 1.6-litre Dual VTVT petrol engine with 123 PS and 15.4 kgm of torque, and a 1.6-litre CRDi VGT diesel engine good for 128 PS and 26.5 kgm of torque. Transmission choices for the
latter two engines are 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic.
