Hyundai Launches Updated Creta SUV in South Africa Complete with Cascading Grille from R409 900

• Hyundai has given its Creta crossover model several styling updates, while 17-inch sized wheels are standard specification for all models
• The South Korean carmaker has opted to reduce the engine range to only a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol unit for local buyers
• The entry-level manual Premium version retails for R409 900, while the Executive flagship model costs R469 900

The Hyundai Creta hasn't been on sale in South Africa for very long, and already it has received a significant upgrade for 2022.

The new model line-up features a trio of derivatives divided between two trim levels: Premium and Executive.

The carmaker has dropped the 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine, and only the 1.5-litre petrol unit remains, boasting power outputs of 84kW and 144Nm, IOL reports.
