Teaser of what is slated to be the 2017 Creta facelift version has been released by Hyundai Brazil ahead of its debut at the 2016 Sao Paulo Motor Show. Apart from making hints about some styling tweaks at both the front and rear end, nothing is there that we could perceive from the images. However, the crossover is about to run with the same petrol and diesel engine options that are currently performing under the hood of ongoing version. No confirmation about its India launch has been disclosed yet, albeit, continuously increasing numbers in sales might bind the company to introduce it here sometime in next year.
Going by the pictures, the most striking thing that would stick your eyes on the images for a while is the restyled large grille on the front fascia along with projector headlights. The horizontally shaped fog lamp enclosures are also there against the vertical ones witnessed on the regular India-based model. Besides, the rear end of the unit has been integrated with a revamped tailgate altogether with a redesigned bumper. The chrome strip, which is situated just above the license plate seems to have been covered by the entire range of the boot lid. No such image for the side profile has been posted either, so we can expect it to be the same as of the regular one.
Currently, Hyundai Creta is offering a range of variants including both petrol and diesel motor guise. The specification of the petrol engine includes a 1.6-litre Dual VTVT unit generating 121 bhp of massive power with 151 Nm of torque. Moreover, the diesel motor is available with a 1.4-litre unit and a 1.6-litre four cylinder trim options, where the former produces 89 Bhp of power and 220 Nm of torque, the latter is tuned to burn out best in class power of 126 Bhp along with peak torque of 259 Nm. Both, the manual and CVT transmission of the 6-speed gearbox are accessible with the motors.
With achieving above 1 Lakh bookings since the launch of Creta in the country, it has already proved its popularity among the buyers. And now the upcoming facelift version would definitely cash more from the market. Well, we don’t have any choice despite waiting of the 2016 Sao Paulo Motor Show, which is going to be held in November this year.
