Recently, prices (ex-showroom, Bangalore) of the 2019 Hyundai Creta were revealed in a leaked document. Going by this revised price list, the top-selling SUV (monthly sales average from July-Dec 2018 - 10,138 units) will now cost INR 9,60,150-15,58,214, thereby leading to an increment of roughly INR 10,000 in the cost of the entry-level model.
A walkaround video details the E Plus version of the revised SUV. The updated model has received a handful of additional safety features, including reverse parking sensors, front passenger seatbelt reminder (SBR), and speed alert system. The company has even standardised the availability of eco-coating technology on the aircon units of all the variants. It may be noted here that the company had already been offering ABS and dual front airbags as standard fitments across all the trim levels. There are no visual changes to speak of.
