The hyundai Creta will undergo a generation change before March 2020. The second-gen Creta is already in the works and while hyundai is yet to confirm it, we can’t rule out market introduction of the new model at next year’s Indian auto Expo.
The Seltos can be considered the base for the new Creta, which will not only share its platform with the Kia SUV but also its powertrain. The Seltos will be equipped with 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines and we expect both manual and automatic transmission options to be on offer. The same engines will be on offer on the Creta and will adhere to BS6 emission norms, which will come into effect from 1 April 2020, from day one.
As far as prices are concerned, while the existing Creta starts from Rs 10 lakh and goes up to Rs 15.65 lakh, the new model is expected to start at a similar price point, but may be more expensive than the current model for the higher variants. It is not only expected to be better equipped, but will also feature a BS6 diesel engine as well. We expect the top-spec model of the second-gen Creta to be priced around the Rs 16 lakh mark (all prices ex-showroom delhi).
