Hyundai revealed that the new Creta facelift’s journey from sheet metal to a premium product focuses on three pillars - Advanced Body Strength, Rigorous Testing, and Superior Quality.

The Creta’s structure comes with an increased thickness of side reinforcement and new parts. Furthermore, the advanced body shop features an intelligent weld management system used to achieve 100 per cent weld strength. Hyundai India’s body-build line is aligned with the automaker’s global standards.
