2020 Hyundai Creta - Auto Expo Launch?

highwaywarrior said:

There is reason to believe that the new Creta might be showcased at the upcoming Auto Expo 2020 due to spy shots of a testing vehicle, let's keep our fingers crossed!
A few expectations from the update according to me would be;
1.Bluelink integration
2.An integrated touchscreen panel
3.Full-time 4wheel drive( maybe to rival the jeep compass?)
4. Disc brakes on all 4 corners(1st gen brakes lacked the bite )
5.Panoramic sunroof/moonroof
6.Ventilated seats front and rear(let us all chill)
7.Plush ride (read: pothole eating suspension setup like the current generation Creta)
8. A Dual Clutch Transmission (the venue has it... come on Hyundai!)
9. LED projector headlights( as seen in the picture above)
10. Trickling down of the 1.4 Liter turbo petrol from the Seltos?

A well laid out expectation list @highwaywarrior.
points 1,2,4,7, and 9 have a very high possibility of making it into the Indian spec Hyundai Creta.
I completely agree with you on point 4 as the brakes seemed to have a lot of issues and gave an unnerving feeling while braking from speeds higher than 60 kilometers per hour. As an owner of a Creta, I have experienced lots of issues with the brakes and would definitely want an upgrade in that aspect.
Coming to point 5 about the sunroof, initially, the Creta did not launch with a sunroof but with its first facelift a sunroof was brought in the lineup, maybe we might get a panoramic sunroof after all.
Could anyone confirm about ventilated seats being available on the Creta currently?? I know for a fact that the Hyundai Verna does, in fact, have ventilated front seats. Yes let us all chill, rear-seat ventilation would be more useful that rear AC vents that freeze off your kneecaps majority of the time.
I truly think that 4wheel drive is not the game Hyundai wants to play with the Creta, as this car is an urban sub-compact city dweller, I believe if they do get the 4x4 option the prices of the car will go up by 1-1.5 Lac INR.
One request could be to give the standard car larger profile tires 215mm is what the current model gets, I feel a 235 would give the car more stability.

Well yes, it does seem highly unlikely that the 4wheeldrive or AWD version will make it to India but what's the harm in putting it out in the universe, you never know who's watching.?
Yes, the current variant of the Creta offers front ventilated seats on the range-topping manual model SX(O).
I would love it if the all disc brake Hyundai days are back when i20 and Verna were offered with such good hardware. This is pre-2011-2012 models I am quoting.
Would you happen to have any real-time mileage numbers with your long term use of the Hyundai Creta? The ARAI numbers are above 15km/liter. If fatter rubber is installed by the manufacturer I am sure the fuel figures will drop by a decent margin.
"Kitna deti hai?" literally translates to 'how much does it give?' is the primary concern of a majority of Indian buyers and i think we should look into this aspect with respect to the Creta and the competition. So let's gather some numbers on fuel consumption. The current Creta has 2 diesel and 1 petrol engine option. 1.6D & 1.4D along with a 1.6 Naturally aspirated petrol.

Here’s an interesting chart I came across-




The new Creta will definitely look bigger and have more space on the inside compared to the current gen!
