2018 Hyundai Creta Facelift Launch Details Revealed

The 2018 Hyundai Creta facelift is all set to go on sale in India next week, possibly on May 21 or May 22. However, Hyundai dealers have confirmed that it's on May 22 and have already started accepting bookings for the SUV for a token of Rs. 30,000, and the 2018 Creta will be available at the showrooms from the day of the launch. We had already anticipated an early launch after we saw facelifted Creta SUVs spied at dealership yards more than a couple of times, and much recently after the official brochure was leaked online. Upon launch, the 2018 Hyundai Creta will be more equipped to compete with the likes of the Renault Captur, Jeep Compass and even the recently launched Mahindra XUV500 facelift.
