There are five variants of the new Hyundai Creta, E, EX, S, SX and SX(O). The Creta 2020 comes in 10 different colours and include two dual-tone paint schemes.
The exterior look has been overhauled too. The 3D cascading grille and trio beam LED headlamps with boomerang-shaped LED DRLs give it a fresh new look.
