Hyundai Venue And Creta Facelift Will Launch In India This Year: Report

The next-generation Venue will be launched in India by the middle of this year, while Hyundai is expected to introduce the facelifted Creta at the end of 2018. Compared with the current model, the updated Venue gets a new front fascia that adopts a more aggressive look.

The 2022 Hyundai Creta is already on sale in the Southeast Asian market and India could gain similar changes as it is more in line with the four-generation Tucson which also will be sold here. It gets a thoroughly redesigned front fascia boasting a new Parametric Jewel pattern grille integrated seamlessly while the headlamps are sharper accompanying a revised bumper section.

The Creta is more than just a sporty looking sedan. It comes with a host of exterior and interior improvements that are sure to make this car the talk of the town. Some of these changes include new alloy wheels, an updated tailgate, tweaked tail lamps, and bumper design similar to the Russia-spec version.

Additional exterior features include a new set of alloy wheels, a redesigned tailgate, updated LED taillights and bumpers similar to the Russia-spec version, etc. The interior comes with the latest BlueLink tech, an all-digital instrument console, ADAS functionalities and so on. The 2022 Hyundai Creta is expected to go on sale in the second half of this year.

Hyundai Venue facelift will continue to offer 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and 1.4-litre turbo petrol engines with manual and automatic transmission choices. The revised Hyundai Venue could be launched by mid-2022 as it will precede the launch of its updated bigger sibling. It features a reworked front end with a Parametric grille and newly designed headlamps.

The Ioniq electric vehicle will come with cosmetic changes to distinguish it from the hybrid model. It will have a reprofiled bumper at the front and the rear along with new 16-inch alloy wheels on higher-end versions. There will also be new LED tail lamps inspired by the Ioniq 5 that is set to launch in India.

The performance of the A1 and A3 will remain the same. The 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 83 horsepower, a 1.5-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 100 horsepower and a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine produces 120 horsepower.
