A facelift that will allow this generation to face the rest of its commercial life that lies ahead. It debuts design, technological equipment and boasts a mechanical section.

The wait is over. After numerous spy photos, leaks and even official previews, the new Hyundai Creta 2022 has been unveiled in society. The current generation of this restrained SUV has undergone a major facelift. A mid-cycle upgrade to help you tackle the rest of your business life ahead of you.

The Hyundai Creta is a model specifically intended for emerging markets. In countries like Russia, India and Indonesia, it plays a leading role. And it was precisely within the framework of the 2021 Indonesian Auto Show where the renewed model was launched.

The design of the new Hyundai Creta 2022
Just take a quick look at the pictures that illustrate this article to discover how Crete has changed. Despite being a "facelift" there are very important design changes. And it is obvious that the Hyundai Tucson has been a key model, a reference. The most relevant aesthetic novelties are concentrated in the front.

The front has been redesigned and now sports a very similar configuration to the aforementioned Tucson. Brand new grill, bumpers and distinctive headlights that keep a certain link with the outgoing model. At the rear, the taillights maintain a very characteristic and slightly enveloping shape. The plastic fenders that protect the lower part maintain a significant level of presence.

At the personalization level, it is well served. The body has a two-tone configuration. There is a long list of body colors and, as we see in the pictures, 17-inch alloy wheels complement the sporty exterior look.

The interior and technology of the new Hyundai Creta 2022
The exterior aside, if we venture into the interior of the new Creta we will find that Hyundai has dramatically improved the sense of quality. Digitization is very present. To the 10.25-inch digital instrument panel we must add an 8-inch touch screen that is key to managing the infotainment system. It is even possible to maintain a certain remote control of the vehicle through the Hyundai Bluelink app.

The list of driver assistance systems is very extensive. Among other technologies, the new Creta has a lane stay assistant, lane follow assistant, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and vehicle detection.

Hyundai also highlights that the new Creta has equipment typical of a higher segment. Some of them are the refrigerated glove compartment, panoramic sliding roof and heated and ventilated seat. And for music lovers, among the equipment available in the range there is a BOSE Premium sound system.

The engine of the new Hyundai Creta 2022
With regard to the mechanical section, if we take a look under the hood of the new Creta we will find a 1.5-liter Smartstream gasoline engine that develops a power of 115 hp and 144 Nm of maximum torque. A block that can be associated with a six-speed manual gearbox or an intelligent variable transmission (IVT). In both cases always with front wheel drive.

Via a driving mode selector it is possible to choose between the Eco, Comfort, Smart and Sport profiles. Depending on the chosen mode, we can adapt the behavior of the vehicle to different situations.
