Hyundai Creta rose to success since its launch and has been amongst the top-selling cars of India. With its proper modern SUV looks and top-of-the-line features, it decimates all of the rivals, which fall in its nearby price range.
Kia Motors a subsidiary of Hyundai, is making its Indian debut by April 2019, with its first model as Kia SP Concept.
SP Concept is based on Creta’s platform and in India, it will borrow its engine from Creta as well. The design and features, however, would be different from Creta and as per our knowledge, it will be more premium that Hyundai SUV. So, check out this speculative comparison of Kia SP Concept Vs Hyundai Creta.
Kia SP Concept Vs Hyundai Creta- Design
If you notice properly, Kia models are a sportier and more premium version of the Hyundai cars. Despite having the same platform and chassis, the design will be completely different. While the Creta follows Hyundai’s Fluidic design 2.0, the SP Concept would have an all-together different design pattern.

We can expect sharp creases over the body with hints of sporty looks. Now, the hints of sporty looks might include a new set of alloy wheels, skid plates, chrome detailing over the front and rear portion and probably larger wheel arches. On the top, there will be roof rails and probably a dual-tone colour treatment. At the rear, it might get rear spoilers, double exhaust and large set of tail lights.
Kia SP Concept Vs Hyundai Creta- Interiors
The Creta follows a black-beige dual tone treatment. The SP Concept might get an all-black treatment. But as we see many of its models look sporty yet premium. So inside the cabin, SP Concept could use some chrome or false wood highlights over the AC vents, dashboard and centre console. Rest of the interior elements like seat upholstery, the instrument cluster, dashboard layout will be revised in the SP Concept.
