Hyundai Creta 2027 launch date and new features expected
Hyundai is testing the next-generation Creta on Indian roads, so buyers considering a Creta now have another reason to think about timing. The 2027-generation SUV is expected to bring changes to the design, cabin and technology, while a hybrid powertrain is also being considered for international markets.
2027 Hyundai Creta gets new styling
The test vehicle gives a clearer idea of where Hyundai is taking the Creta. The next version is expected to grow in size and could get a more distinctive front and rear design, along with pixel-style lighting and a four-dot Hyundai logo.
The test car has also been seen with 19-inch dual-tone aero-style alloy wheels. New headlamps, DRLs, grille and bumper elements are expected as part of the redesign.
New Creta cabin and Pleos Connect
The cabin appears to be getting a major technology-focused update. The new Creta is expected to use a large central touchscreen, while the digital instrument display becomes smaller and focuses more on essential driver information.
Pleos Connect is another major change. It is intended to bring more functions into the infotainment system and make the Creta a software-defined vehicle. The steering-column-mounted gear selector should also free up space around the centre console, while Level 2+ ADAS is expected to improve the active safety package.
2027 Creta hybrid engine plans
The international version is expected to add a hybrid powertrain alongside petrol and diesel engines, with manual and automatic transmission choices continuing. The important question for Indian buyers is whether Hyundai brings that hybrid option here as well, since it could cost more than the regular versions.
For now, the Indian-spec powertrain details are not confirmed, so buyers should treat the hybrid as something to watch rather than a confirmed India specification.
What current Creta owners rate
The Creta currently has an owner rating of 3.8/5 from 4,679 owner ratings. That gives the next generation a useful benchmark, especially because Hyundai is retaining the broad strengths of the existing formula while adding more technology.
Would you wait for the 2027 Creta or buy the current one now?

TT Score
The Hyundai Creta is a strong all-round Indian SUV on price, claimed efficiency, drivetrain choice and everyday practicality, but its safety score is limited by the published equipment data provided.
Who it suits
- High-mileage commuter — The diesel manual's claimed 21.8 kmpl efficiency can make it particularly appealing for buyers covering substantial annual distances.
- Mixed city-and-highway family user — Its five-seat layout, 50-litre tank and FWD configuration make it well suited to routine family use and longer trips.
- Automatic-seeking urban buyer — The range offers CVT, torque-converter and DCT options, giving buyers several automatic powertrain choices.
- Performance-oriented SUV buyer — The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol is listed at 157.57 bhp and 253 Nm, making it the most powerful option in the supplied specifications.
Worth knowing
- · The entry price of ₹10.91 lakh ex-showroom rises to an estimated ₹12.22 lakh-₹12.98 lakh on-road across the listed states.
- · Claimed efficiency varies significantly by powertrain, from 17.7 kmpl for the petrol CVT to 21.8 kmpl for the diesel manual.
- · The published safety data provided lists only driver, passenger and front-side airbags, so no additional safety equipment can be credited here.
