Hyundai is known to regularly update its models every now and then depending on the various market conditions. When launched, the Hyundai Creta was offered with TPMS as standard, however, it was deleted somewhere down the line. Now, Hyundai has reintroduced TPMS as standard in the Creta range and also added a piano black element in the rear taillight section according to our dealer sources. This has resulted in a price hike of ₹5000 for the base E variant. The Creta range now starts at ₹10.28 lakh ex-showroom for the petrol variant and ₹10.75 lakh ex-showroom for the diesel variant.
