Overview
- The third-generation Creta, internally codenamed SX3, has been spotted on public roads in South Korea under heavy camouflage.
- Reporting points to a shift to the newer K3 platform, which is expected to improve packaging, rigidity and crash safety.
- Interior spy photos suggest a cleaner cabin with black leatherette seats, Seltos-like front headrests, increased rear legroom and adjustable headrests for all three rear passengers.
- For India, outlets report the current 1.5-litre petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel engines are likely to carry over, with a strong hybrid option expected to join the range.
- While Hyundai earlier signaled a Q1 2027 launch, some reports suggest the timeline could be pulled forward to around Diwali 2026 due to intensifying competition.
