Creta Old Models

Hyundai counts two Creta generations, launched in 2015 and 2020, and updated each once, in 2018 and 2024. Their launch prices sit on different bases: the 2015 prices came before GST, and the 2020 prices were introductory, one price across India.

The first Creta had three engines: a 1.6 petrol and a 1.6 diesel, the diesel also with a 6-speed automatic, and a 1.4 diesel. It came in 10 variants and 7 colours, and was 4,270 mm long.

The Creta 2015 model cost ₹8,59,558 for the 1.6 petrol L and ₹13,60,156 for the 1.6 diesel SX (O), ex-showroom in Delhi before GST. On 26 April 2016 Hyundai added a 6-speed automatic with the 1.6 petrol. On 6 April 2017 Hyundai added the E+ trim with the 1.4 diesel, at ₹9,99,900.

The Creta 2018 model is the update of 21 May 2018: the same three engines, with a 6-speed automatic on both 1.6 engines, at ₹9,43,908 to ₹15,03,934 ex-showroom in Delhi with GST. The Creta 2019 model is the same generation with more equipment: early in 2019 Hyundai added rear parking sensors, a seatbelt reminder and a speed alert on every variant, LED tail lamps from the SX up, and a new top trim, the SX(O) Executive, with ventilated front seats. The engines stayed until the second generation's launch on 16 March 2020.

The Creta 2020 model was a new car on new BS6 engines: a 1.5 MPi petrol with a manual or an IVT automatic, a 1.5 CRDi diesel with a manual or a 6-speed automatic, and a 1.4 Turbo GDi petrol with a 7-speed DCT. Its introductory price was ₹9,99,000 to ₹17,20,000 ex-showroom, the same across India. The 1.6 petrol, 1.6 diesel and 1.4 diesel did not return.

There is no Creta 3rd generation as on 26 October 2026: the car launched on 16 January 2024 is, in Hyundai's own words, the second generation, updated. It kept the 1.5 MPi petrol and the 1.5 CRDi diesel, added a 1.5 Turbo GDi petrol of 160 PS with a 7-speed DCT, and launched at ₹10,99,900 to ₹19,99,900 ex-showroom. On 15 October 2025 Hyundai said it would launch 26 cars in India by the 2029-30 financial year, 7 of them new names, with hybrid among the powertrains; it named no Creta. The next one has no date: on 30 July 2026 Hyundai said it would announce the Creta's full model change "at the right time" (next-generation Creta announcements).

The 1.6 petrol, 1.6 diesel and 1.4 diesel were not in the line-up Hyundai launched on 16 March 2020, and the 1.4 Turbo GDi petrol left in February 2023. Every petrol and diesel Creta on sale now has a 1.5-litre engine.
