Other feature upgrades expected to be part of the package are a 360-degree parking camera, ventilated front seats, and Level 2 ADAS technology.
Hyundai will continue with the two engine options offered in the current Creta— a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit, and a 1.5-litre CRDi diesel unit.
The new addition to the lineup will be a 1.5-litre Kappa turbocharged petrol mill that dishes out 158 bhp and 253 Nm of peak torque.
