Hyundai Motor India will unveil the new Creta at the Auto Expo 2020. Launched in India in July 2015, the vehicle is currently in its first generation. Hyundai Creta is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs around, if not the most popular. Although recent introductions like Kia Seltos and MG Hector have been giving it stiff competition, the Creta has continued to hold its ground and churn out decent sales numbers.

The second-generation Hyundai Creta has been spied testing on several occasions in India. It is based on the China-spec Hyundai ix25, which itself looks quite sporty. Below are all the important details that you should know about the 2020 Hyundai Creta.

2020 Hyundai Creta Launch

The 2020 Creta will be reportedly launched in mid-March. It will be Hyundai Motor India's second introduction of the year after the Aura, which will make its way into the country on January 21.

2020 Hyundai Creta Price

The current Hyundai Creta is priced very competitively in the range of Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) and Rs 15.67 lakh (ex-showroom). Hyundai Motor India might keep the second-generation Creta in the same price range. Even if the price shoots up, it won't be much. Its closest rival -- Kia Seltos -- is priced between Rs 9.69 lakh (ex-showroom) and Rs 16.99 lakh (ex-showroom). That the 2020 Creta undercuts the Seltos is another possibility.

2020 Hyundai Creta Features

The 2020 Hyundai Creta has received several modifications to its exteriors. While the overall silhouette is still quite sporty, the new Creta is bigger in terms of dimensions. The new cascading grille, flanked by LED headlamps and LED DRLs, gives the mid-size SUV a pretty bold look. There are changes to the rear with new taillamps. The tailgate has been redesigned as well. Also, the alloys are completely new. The cabin will get some premium features like 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and panoramic sunroof. You can expect Hyundai's BlueLink connectivity technology to be available in the new Creta.

2020 Hyundai Creta Engine

The next-generation Hyundai Creta will come with the engine options that are available with Kia Seltos. At present, the Seltos has three BS6-compliant powertrain choices. There is a 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 115 PS and 144 Nm of torque. A 1.5-litre VGT diesel mill produces 115 PS and 250 Nm of torque. There is a 1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol motor delivering 140 PS and 242 Nm of torque. All the three engines come with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox. Besides, there are automatic transmission options like IVT (1.5-litre petrol), 6-speed AT (1.5-litre VGT diesel) and 7-speed DCT (1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol).
