The new Hyundai Crea will come with features such as leatherette seat upholstery, 2-step reclining rear seats for added comfort, new stylish D-cut steering wheel which will also be leather wrapped, blue coloured ambient lights, 26.03cm HD infotainment screen with connected BlueLink technology, 17.78cm full digital speedometer cluster which will be a colour display, 2 tone black & greige interior colour scheme, dark theme interiors in black with red accents expected on the turbo-petrol variants, wireless charging, automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, electric park brake, etc.

The Creta made Hyundai an aspirational brand, and also resulted in their average car selling price going up. The new 2020 Hyundai Creta is expected to attract more buyers, as per Hyundai, but the Kia Seltos is still selling strong along with other competition in this price range which includes the Nissan Kicks, MG Hector and Tata Harrier.
