2017 Hyundai Creta SX+ gets dual tone color options & black interior

Also gets Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for 7-inch AVN.

Hyundai will soon introduce a small update to the 2017 Hyundai Creta which, according to a leaked brochure scan from the Hyundai Creta Group Facebook page, will get a host of new cosmetic and equipment upgrades.

Joining the latest trend, Hyundai will offer dual tone color options in the Creta SX+ grade, which comes with a Phantom Black color roof and the option of Polar White or Red Passion colors. Although the SX+ grade has an automatic transmission as an option in both petrol and diesel variants, the dual tone color option is exclusive to the variants with a manual gearbox.

The Creta SX+ with dual tone exterior also exclusively gets an all black interior with red and black fabric upholstery, while other models stick to the beige and black combination. The Creta S+, SX+, SX+ Dual Tone & SX(O) get an Arkamys Sound Mood system as standard, and the 7-inch AVN system gains Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

Another minor update is that the Creta E+ grade can be spec'd with the 1.4L CRDI U2 diesel engine, which was previously exclusive to the base E grade. It develops 90 PS (88.73 hp) and 22.4 kgm (219.67 Nm) of torque, and paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Other engine options include the 1.6-litre Dual VTVT petrol engine with 123 PS (121.26 hp) and 15.4 kgm (151.02 Nm) of torque, and a 1.6-litre CRDi VGT diesel engine good for 128 PS (126.20 hp) and 26.5 kgm (259.88) of torque. Transmission choices for the latter two engines are 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic.
