The 1.4 liter diesel offers 90 PS power while the 1.6 diesel is capable of 128 PS and the 1.6 petrol offers 123 PS power. While all engines are mated to a 6 speed manual transmission as standard the SX+ 1.6 liter diesel will be the only variant to receive an automatic transmission. This will be in the form of a 6 speed dual clutch gearbox.

Once launched, Hyundai Creta will compete against the likes of Renault Duster, Nissan Terrano and upcoming Maruti S-Cross. Hyundai aims to sell 5,000 units of Creta every month. Obviously, this depends on how they price the car. And to know the price first, watch the LIVE webcast of Hyundai Creta launch below.
