Hyundai continues testing the 2018 Hyundai Creta
in India, another batch of its spy shots has surfaced online, courtesy
CarDekho. The latest spy shots reveal two new changes Hyundai has planned to
introduce in the Hyundai Creta with the facelift in addition to those noted
before. The first change is the addition of a sunroof, which is a relatively cheaper, sub-4 metre B-SUV.
The second change is the fitment of the 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels from the
Hyundai Creta Sport sold in Brazil. Hyundai is likely to offer these wheels in
only the SX+ and SX(O) grades.
No major interior changes are expected in the
Hyundai Creta with the mid-cycle refresh. Hyundai may upgrade the SUV’s touchscreen
infotainment system to support its Auto Link smartphone app. The pre-facelift
Hyundai Creta is available with three engines: 1.6-litre VTVT petrol, 1.4-litre
CRDi diesel and 1.6-litre VGT CRDi diesel. All three engines are coupled to a
6-speed manual transmission, but a 6-speed automatic transmission option is
available for the 1.6-litre engines. No changes related to these aspects are
expected.
The 2018 Hyundai Creta will go on sale in India
towards the second of the year, with prices expected to start around INR 9.5
lakh (ex-showroom).
