The all-new Hyundai Creta is all set to launch in India on March 17. Earlier this week, we reported that the first batch of the new SUV has rolled off the production line and now, in a new update, it has emerged that the official dealerships have started receiving stocks of the new model. In line with this, images of a new Hyundai Creta Turbo variant have been uploaded on the soclal media by an employee of Peeyesyem Hyundai, which is a retailer in Chennai. From the looks of it, the said unit of the new model has been snapped at a workshop of the dealership.

The new SUV is also available in 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine variants, with both the motors outputting a maximum of 115HP each. The torque outputs are rated at 144Nm and 250Nm for petrol and diesel motor, respectively.
