New Hyundai Creta Base Model Looks Great With Aftermarket Alloy Wheels

Hyundai launched the new-gen Creta in the Indian market earlier this year, and the compact SUV has been doing quite well in terms of overall sales. Before the launch of Kia Seltos, the previous-gen Hyundai Creta was the best-selling SUV in its segment. ANd now, the introduction of the all-new Hyundai Creta has once again helped the manufacturer settle at the top of the sales charts. It seems like that many owners are trying to make their Creta look distinctive via aftermarket modifications. Here is one such example, where the base model of the mid-size SUV has been kitted out with new footwear and the overall results are quite impressive.

Already, the new-gen Creta looks quite impressive with its bold styling. Upfront, it gets a wide grille with wide edges and blacked-out horizontal slats. The inclusion of split headlight cluster, aggressive fog lamps housing with faux underbody skid plate adds to the visual appeal of the SUV. Moreover, the blacked-out B-pillar and the aftermarket chrome-plated alloy wheels make the car look bolder and more appealing.

Other styling bits includes side skid plates and lower profile tires. It may be noted that most of these elements can be found on the stock Creta. In India, the new-gen Hyundai Creta is priced between Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) to Rs 17.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

It derives power from three different engine options. The 1.5-litre four-pot gasoline engine puts out power and torque outputs of 115 PS and 144 Nm, while the 1.5-litre diesel motor belts out 115 PS of power and 250 Nm of twisting force. On the other hand, the potent 1.4-litre turbo petrol motor develops 140 PS and 242 Nm of peak torque. Both the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines come paired with a 6-speed MT as standard along with a 6-speed torque converter (diesel) and a CVT (petrol) as an optional fitment. The smaller 1.4-litre petrol motor comes paired with a 7-speed DCT.
