As seen in the teaser images released by the company earlier, the 2024 Hyundai Creta for India has significant changes in its exterior design. This can be clearly seen in the front area of the car with the large rectangular grille and center air inlets. Next is the new two-layer headlight system with a daytime running LED strip in the shape of the letter “L” on top, and vertical headlights below. In addition, the daytime running LED strip also extends horizontally across the front, similar to other new Hyundai car models like Sonata, Accent, and Elantra.

It’s no surprise that the side area of this compact SUV retains the same design, except for the alloy wheels. The higher variant of the car will come with 18-inch wheels featuring a multi-spoke, two-tone finish. Meanwhile, the lower variant will be equipped with 17-inch wheels.

At the rear of the car, the 2024 Hyundai Creta has a new taillight cluster with an “L” shape inside, spanning across the tailgate, similar to the daytime running LED strip. Both the front and rear bumpers come with dark silver accents, giving the car a sporty look.
