Hyundai Creta 1 Million edition launched in Brazil
Hyundai has launched special editions on the HB20, HB20S and Creta in the Brazilian market. Called the 1 million edition, these special editions celebrate the production of 1 million vehicles at the factory in Piracicaba, São Paulo. The special edition models will be available from the second half of August and will have a total production run of 4,500 units: 2,000 of the Creta, 1,200 of the HB20 and 1,300 of the HB20S. Prices are yet to be disclosed.
The Hyundai Creta 1 million edition gets the Hyundai Smart Band, which is a fitness band with integrated keyless entry. Users can track their steps, distance and calories using a smartphone application and also get their call notifications and alarms using this band. Hyundai Motor India already offers this Smart Band as standard on the top-end Creta SX(O) variant.
Based on the 'Pulse Plus' variant, the exterior sees LED daytime running lights, projector headlamps, 17-inch alloy wheels, a 'dark-chrome' grille and trunk garnish and chrome-finished door handles. The special edition gets a commemorative 1 million badge on the fenders as well. Inside, there are '1 million' embossed door sills, and the leather seats are finished in a 'Beige Sahara' colour; the dashboard sees the inclusion of a 7.0-inch touchscreen entertainment system with DVD player.
The Creta 1 million special edition is available only with the 1.6-liter Gamma petrol engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
