2018 Hyundai Creta Facelift Vs Creta Old brings you a detailed specification based comparison between the updated version of this compact SUV and the older model. We compare these two versions on the basis of design, features, engine specifications and prices.
Hyundai has launched the updated iteration of the Creta compact SUV in India. The 2018 Hyundai Creta comes with minor cosmetic updates and a whole bunch of addition to its feature list. Majority of the design changes done to this updated version of the Creta are concentrated on the exterior profile of the vehicle. It now comes with slightly altered front and rear bumpers, new front grille, new alloy wheels among other small updates. On the inside, the cabin layout remains the same as before. However, the compact SUV now comes with an extensive feature list. For instance, it now comes with an electric sunroof, electrically operated driver’s seat, a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system to name a few. In this report, we compare the facelifted Hyundai Creta with the model that it replaces in this extensive specification based comparison.
Hyundai Creta Facelift Vs Creta Old: Design
The overall design of the 2018 Creta remains identical to the current spec model. That said, Hyundai has given some minor tweaks to the new version of this vehicle. For instance, the front fascia of the Creta now comes with a redesigned bumper. It has a slightly more curvaceous design around the edges. Furthermore, the chrome grille also bears a little change. The faux skid plates under the bumper are now more prominent than before. The side profile of the compact SUV is going to remain identical with this update. The only major visual change is the new Diamond cut alloy wheels. From the rear, the Creta Facelift remains similar to the current spec model. However, it too comes with a restyled bumper.
Hyundai Creta Facelift Vs Creta Old: Interiors
Just like the exterior profile of the 2018 Creta, the interiors too remain the same as before. The overall layout of the dashboard and other elements will stay identical, which is nothing to complain about. The cabin will continue to come with a dual-tone colour scheme of black and beige. However, just like the i20 facelift, we can see Hyundai darkening the beige component a bit to prevent soiling.
