2020 Hyundai Creta was launched on Monday and now deliveries have officially begun. And of course, the very first Creta should go to the brand ambassador of over two decades. Shah Rukh Khan took delivery of his brand new 2020 Creta and was also the one to first take the wraps off it in February during the 2020 Auto Expo. Mr Khan happens to have a collection of some very luxurious cars but he has previously mentioned that he still owns a first-generation Creta that was launched back in 2015. Joti Mohar Das shared some images with us from the ceremony marking the delivery of the first 2020 Creta to Shah Rukh Khan. Take a look.
2020 Hyundai Creta has been refurbished inside and out with a fresh new look on the outside and a long list of features in the cabin.
