2020 Hyundai Creta launch date advanced to 16 March
The launch date of the 2020 Hyundai Creta has been advanced to 16 March. The original plan was to launch the all-new premium SUV on 17 March.
Early birds can already reserve their 2020 Hyundai Creta officially with a deposit of INR 25,000. Pre-bookings can be made online at Hyundai’s website and even at a local dealership. As of 11 March, 10,000+ units have already been pre-ordered. So, there will likely be a waiting period for the 2020 Hyundai Creta of at least 1 month at launch.
Hyundai has already revealed the variant line-up of the 2020 Creta. The company will launch the all-new sub-compact SUV in 14 variants, comprising a mix of 5 equipment lines and 5 engine-transmission combinations. Below is the variant line-up:
- Creta 1.5L petrol manual EX
