Discover the all‑new Hyundai Creta redesign with the biggest wheels in its class, Boss‑Mode rear seats and a hybrid powertrain. Learn more now!
The third‑generation Hyundai Creta is drawing fresh attention from B‑SUV enthusiasts as recent test‑drive footage from South Korea reveals a host of upgrades that feel almost revolutionary. Slated for a global launch in 2027, the new Creta blends a more muscular exterior with premium interior touches traditionally reserved for higher‑end vehicles.
Eye‑catching Exterior: 19‑Inch Dual‑Finish Wheels
The most striking visual upgrade is a set of 19‑inch dual‑tone alloy wheels, paired with 235/45 tires—the largest wheel‑and‑tire combo currently offered in the sub‑compact SUV segment. While the overall silhouette remains sleek, sharper body lines and a more angular front fascia give the Creta a noticeably brawnier stance compared with its predecessor.
Interior Revolution: “Boss Mode” Rear Seating
Inside, the focus shifts to passenger comfort. Hyundai introduces a “Boss Mode” feature that lets rear occupants electronically adjust the front passenger seat’s position, creating extra legroom on demand—a convenience usually found only in premium sedans like the Toyota Camry. Every rear seat now includes a fully adjustable headrest, enhancing support on longer journeys.
Thanks to a modest increase in overall vehicle dimensions, the second‑row passengers enjoy more ceiling clearance and a wider footwell, making the cabin feel genuinely spacious.
Powertrain Options: Conventional and Hybrid Paths
Powertrain-wise, the new Creta is expected to retain the familiar 1.5‑liter gasoline and diesel engines for markets where they remain popular. However, industry insiders anticipate a robust hybrid variant built on the same platform as the Kia Seltos, aligning the model with the global shift toward greener mobility.
Enhanced Safety with Latest ADAS Suite
Hyundai also plans to upgrade the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to its newest generation, delivering a broader suite of safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
Why It Matters
By enlarging its wheel size, expanding interior space, and adding upscale features like Boss Mode and hybrid power, Hyundai positions the Creta to compete more aggressively against rivals in the crowded B‑SUV segment. The combination of bold styling, comfort‑focused cabin upgrades, and modern powertrain options could make the 2027 Creta a strong contender for buyers seeking a practical yet premium‑feeling urban SUV.
