The Latest Hyundai Creta made it’s global debut back in 2019 in China. Unlike the previous gen Creta which had simplistic yet effective design and styling the new one follows the route of sophistication and urbanity.
Hyundai seems unsatisfied with it’s expectation from the latest-gen Creta. The Crossover even after being supremely loaded with latest of techs and kits will see further updates in it. A test mule of the Hyundai Creta has been spotted testing around in South Korea being heavily camouflaged, leaving us to know minute yet functional details.
Exteriors
Going through the overall design and styling of the Test mule, It seems the Creta follows the brands latest Design theme called ‘Sensous Sportiness’ on which the Latest-Gen Hyundai Tucson is based. At the front, it has LED DRL’s connecting harmoniously into the 3D grille in order to give even more eye-catchy appeal.
The spy shots suggests that the Verticle LED headlamps has been repositioned at a bit downer side to liberate space for placement of Horizontal LED DRL’s similar to the Hyundai Palisade.
At the rear, Hyundai is unlikely to play with the styling theme Except cosmetic minor tweaks. Given the fact that the Crossover already looks futuristic from the rear, the Crossover will continue with the outgoing silhouette.
Features
Apart from the Features the outgoing Creta has on offer, The 2022 Hyundai Creta is likely to be offered with 18-inch wheels, Forward collision assist, Rear cross traffic alert, heads-up display, land departure warning, lane keep asssit, pedestrian detection etc.

The Diesel Mill is offered with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter. However, a mild-hybrid tech is likely to be offered as an addition over the outgoing Creta.
