The biggest of updates are within the security of the SUV. Hyundai has introduced its Blind Sport Monitoring camera display on the digital instrument console. Besides keeping the driving force alert for any incoming vehicle, the system also acts in situations when there are cyclists, pedestrians or other vehicles ahead and applies the Autonomous Braking to stop collision without the drivers’s aid.

Along with the Autonomous Braking System, Hyundai has added the Left Convergence Detection feature, alerts if there’s a risk collision with a vehicle coming from an adjacent lane on the other side, as soon because the shift signal for the left lane is activated. If this risk continues, the brakes are automatically applied.

Besides these, the 2022 Hyundai Creta facelift also gets other safety features like driver Fatigue Detector, Adaptive High Light, Adaptive Speed Control. Six airbags, four-wheel disc brakes among several others.

As far because the design changes are concerned, the 2022 Creta facelift, launched with four trims, features an exclusive front grille for Brazil during a hexagonal format. counting on the version, it can accompany horizontal bars or “cascade” elements, being framed in silver or chrome. LED daytime running lights (DRL) also are available as standard on all variants, and therefore the LED headlamps and flashlights is out there for less than the top-spec trim.

The alloy wheels are offered in choice of 16-, 17- or 18-inch sizes with diamond cut design for the last two options.

The interiors haven’t received any major updates compared to the model already available within the Indian markets.
