South Korean automaker Hyundai has just unveiled a slightly updated Creta SUV for the overseas market. The updated Creta is expected to go on sale first in left-hand drive markets like Russia and China, followed by other regions. The new Creta that is being launched in Russia will be replacing the previous-generation Creta that was discontinued in India last year. It is not to be confused with the major facelift of the Creta whose spy shots have surfaced recently.
The updated Hyundai Creta that will be going on sale in Russia gets different styling for its grille and bumper. The cascading grille has a slightly redesigned shape with the grille-inserts getting a new design that looks similar to the one in the Alcazar. The chin of the updated Creta is more prominent with a larger air intake that features a faux brushed aluminum finish.

The side profile of the SUV looks largely similar except for the new alloy wheels depending on the variant. Over to the rear, the updated Creta gets a plastic panel that connects the two taillights that have been redesigned and now feature vertical creases, one on each side, instead. The connected taillight design that can be seen on the India-spec Creta has been ditched due to the upper extensions of the taillights being much shorter. The rear bumper itself is of a much simpler design, with faux brushed aluminum inserts at the middle.
