Next-gen Hyundai Creta likely to bring major upgrades in nearly every aspect, aimed at securing the model’s top position in the segment
Tata Motors, Renault, Kia, and a number of other brands have grabbed headlines with major mid-size SUV launches in recent months. The Hyundai Creta, however, remains unfazed, continuing as the segment’s best-seller. What’s more, Hyundai is working on the most comprehensive makeover yet for its popular mid-size SUV, with plans to introduce it for the third generation in 2027. Here are five things you need to know about the next-gen Hyundai Creta:
1. All-new platform
The next-gen Hyundai Creta will sit on an all-new ‘K3’ platform that improves structural rigidity, enhancing safety. Supporting better noise insulation and stability, the K3 platform would also pave the way for a more refined driving experience.

2. Bigger, brawnier, and roomier
Inspired by the Hyundai Crater concept, the next-gen Hyundai Creta will likely have a much more rugged and masculine exterior. Significant gains in dimensions will further elevate its road presence. The wheelbase will likely be 80 mm longer, reaching 2,690 mm. The length should be about 120 mm longer, measuring around 4,450 mm. The width is expected to grow by at least 30 mm, touching or exceeding 1,820 mm. These changes should bring marked improvements in both passenger and boot space.

3. More comfortable
In addition to more space, the next-gen Hyundai Creta will likely have wider and more advanced seats to offer enhanced comfort. The driver’s seat should feature not only power reclining and sliding functions like the current model but also power lumbar support. This will likely be in addition to memory and ventilation, with the latter available even in the front passenger seat. Hyundai may also offer a dual-zone automatic climate control system to further make the next-gen more competitive in this aspect.

4. More high-tech
The next-gen Hyundai Creta will likely adopt the company’s new cockpit display concept, where the infotainment system uses a large tablet-style display and the instrument cluster comes in a compact, slim display. The former should measure 12.9 inches diagonally and the latter 9.9 inches. Android Automotive OS would make using the infotainment system much easier, bundling native apps for essential services like Google Maps and Google Voice and providing a smartphone-like experience.

5. Hybrid-ready
Unlike the current Creta, the next-gen model will be ready to adopt a hybrid powertrain. Hyundai may launch it only with petrol and diesel engines shared with the current model, but a few months down the line, it will likely roll out a hybrid system based on a 1.5-litre petrol engine. The company could be targeting a fuel economy of around 25 km/l and will likely offer an additional vehicle-to-load (V2L) bi-directional charging function in the hybrid variant.
