Pricing Predictions

While the current price structure for the second-generation Hyundai Creta ranges between ₹10.90 lakh and ₹19.20 lakh (ex-showroom), expectations are that the 2024 model may see a slight upward revision. The base variant is likely to retain its competitive pricing, starting at ₹10.90 lakh (ex-showroom), aligning with its key rival, the Kia Seltos. However, the higher variants may witness an increment of somewhere between ₹20,000 to ₹50,000, with the top-end diesel variant potentially reaching a price range of ₹12 lakh to ₹22 lakh (ex-showroom). The introduction of the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine on the top-end variant could command a price tag of around ₹21 lakh (ex-showroom).

Engine and Transmission Choices

The heart of the 2024 Hyundai Creta lies in its engine options. Hyundai is introducing its 1.5-litre Turbo GDi Petrol engine, complemented by the 1.5l MPi petrol and 1.5l U2 CRDi diesel options. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual, Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), seven-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), and six-speed automatic transmission. Notably, the turbo petrol variant exclusively pairs with the seven-speed DCT.

Variant Lineup

The new Hyundai Creta will offer consumers a wide array of choices with seven broad variants. From the entry-level E variant to the top-of-the-line SX (O) variant, the 2024 Creta lineup includes E, EX, S, S(O), SX, SX Tech, and SX (O).
