At the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2024, Hyundai not only introduced the Kona EV and Ioniq 5 electric cars, but also unveiled a new limited edition of the small SUV Creta called Alpha. This model is based on the top-of-the-line Hyundai Creta Prime currently available in the Indonesian market.

The most notable highlight of the Hyundai Creta Alpha is its exterior paint color. The new version of this B-segment SUV comes in 3 matte colors: matte black, matte silver, and matte white.
Hyundai stated that the new matte paint gives a more rugged and robust feel, while still maintaining the premium look of this B-segment SUV. Additionally, this is the only B-segment SUV in the Indonesian market to have matte paint. Previously, matte paint was only available for 2 Hyundai models in the archipelago: the Stargazer X and the Ioniq 5.
In addition to the impressive matte paint, this model is equipped with a gloss black grille and black alloy wheels, as well as side mirrors with integrated lights to project the “Creta Alpha” logo onto the ground. Inside the car, the Hyundai Creta Alpha has not undergone many changes, except for the red “Alpha” logo on the front seats and the new black headliner.
