Further, existing Creta booking holders will have an option to convert their booking to the new Creta.

The upcoming iteration of Creta will make its debut on 16 January 2024.
Commenting on the bookings open announcement, Tarun Garg, COO, Hyundai Motor India Ltd., said, “Brand Creta is not just an SUV, it is an emotion.
