The upcoming Hyundai Creta facelift has been spotted completely undisguised in India. The compact SUV was snapped during a TV commercial shoot, which suggests that the launch might be just around the corner.

According to the latest spy image, the Creta facelift will get a new hexagonal grille with a chrome frame flanked by a set of new sweptback headlamps featuring projector lamps and LED DRLs. The front bumper has been redesigned and now gets silver insert around the air dam. Fog lamps are placed in separate housings on either side of the air dam. This particular vehicle has a dual-tone exterior with white bodywork and a black roof. It also has body-coloured ORVM housings with integrated turn signals.

According to previous spy images, the Creta facelift is likely to get an optional sunroof and dual-tone alloy wheels. While the interiors of the Creta facelift are expected to be similar to the outgoing model, Hyundai might add an updated touchscreen infotainment system to the package.

Similarly, Hyundai is likely to offer the current set of engines on the updated model. The current-gen Creta comes with a 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 123 BHP and 151 Nm of torque and there are two diesel engine options to choose from - an 89 BHP 1.4-litre and a 126 BHP 1.6-litre engine which could be offered with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
