2024 Hyundai Creta Facelift: Design Sketches Vs Production Model

UPDATE: Hyundai has launched 2024 Creta facelift from Rs 11 lakh onwards (ex-showroom). 

Hyundai has unveiled the 2024 Creta facelift ahead of its official launch. Prior to the reveal, the Korean carmaker released design sketches previewing the facelifted Creta's design. In this read, we will compare these sketches with the final model, decoding what all has changed and carried forward.

Front Exterior Design

From the sketch images, the Creta’s design does look exaggerated and more beefy when compared to the final model, especially the wheel arches and bumper. But kudos to Hyundai for retaining most of the bits such as the squarer grille, full-width LED DRL, and updated LED headlights housed in the bumper. Yes, the bumper isn’t as chunky as the one in the sketch, but it does give it some much-needed muscle. 

Rear Exterior Design

At the rear, the facelifted Creta retains most of the bits as seen in the design sketch, featuring a connected LED taillight setup and the updated bumper which gets cladding and an updated silver skid plate. Overall, the final production model of the 2024 Creta facelift maintains a similar design to the sketches, without any major revisions.

Interior

Hyundai has also adopted a distinct approach for the facelifted Creta's interior that has been fully revealed, borrowing some of its cues from its premium models. The 2024 Creta features a new dashboard layout with a dual-screen setup for the infotainment system and digital driver’s display, along with new features which you can check out in our earlier report here.

In the powertrain department, the 2024 Creta will be offered with a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine along with existing options of 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and diesel engines.

The 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift is all set to be launched on January 16, 2024. It is expected to command a premium over the current model, which starts from Rs 10.87 lakh (ex-showroom). It will continue to rival the likes of the Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and MG Astor.
