Spy Shots Show Next-Gen Hyundai Creta’s Pleos Connect Cabin and New Hardware

The revamp points to a larger K3-based SUV built around over-the-air software plus stronger driver assistance.

Overview

  • Fresh spy images published Tuesday show a larger freestanding screen running Pleos Connect, Hyundai’s new software platform with over-the-air updates and the Gleo voice assistant.
  • The test car uses a column-mounted shift-by-wire selector that clears space under the center console while keeping key physical buttons on the wheel and dash.
  • Reports point to a multi-link rear suspension and larger 19-inch wheels that aim to improve ride quality and give the SUV a broader stance.
  • Dual front radars spotted on prototypes suggest an expanded Level 2+ driver-assist suite, and top trims are likely to offer all-wheel drive.
  • The next Creta is expected to move to the newer K3 platform, keep its 1.5-litre petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel engines, add a 1.5-litre hybrid, and reach India around Diwali 2026 or early 2027.
