Hyundai Creta Facelift launch expected on May 22…
Hyundai Creta Facelift has been caught testing very frequently in past few weeks. Now, if a story from Autocar is to be believed, the car will be launching very soon in India. By “soon” we mean May 22, 2018. The dealer training is already underway and a variant wise feature & engine list has also been leaked. This detailed list was shared on TeamBHP by a reader. Additionally, new spy pics of the upcoming car have also surfaced today (source: motoroids.com). We have updated these in the image gallery.
The facelift will be more of a nip and tuck job with some cosmetic changes and enhancements to the feature list. In addition to this, Hyundai is also doing some rejig to its variant lineup. Let’s have a quick look at what to expect from the Creta Facelift.
