After launching the Hyundai Tucson Sport in South
Africa last month, Hyundai plans to launch the Hyundai Creta Sport in Brazil,
as per a report from Autos Segredos.
The Hyundai Creta launched in Brazil in January. The
company intends the sportier version for customers expecting more powerful
looks. According to the report, the Hyundai Creta Sport will have a black roof,
dark alloy wheels and darkened headlamps among other changes. Hyundai could fit
the Creta with a sporty aero kit too in this variant like with the Tucson
Sport.
The standard Hyundai Creta is available with
1.6-litre Dual CVVT and 2.0-litre Dual CVVT engines. The Creta Sport will have
the stock 2.0-litre unit paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The
four-cylinder engine produces 156 hp and 187 Nm of
torque running on petrol and 166 hp and 201 Nm of
torque running on ethanol.
Brazilian media is expecting a more off-road styled
Hyundai Creta X and a Creta Turbo powered by the 1.6-litre T-GDi engine in the
next instalment of variants. However, previous reports have said that Hyundai
Motor Brazil has no plans for the Creta Turbo.
