Hyundai next year will be launching the Exter Facelift to increase its competitive-ness in the segment against its one and only rival, the Tata Punch, which also interestingly gets a facelift update later this year. The Exter Facelift isn’t expected to introduce major changes to the design language of the SUV, but new equipments are expected to be offered such as a 10.25-inch Infotainment System, and new theme for the cabin. Features-wise, we expect 360 Surround View Camera, and Ventilated Seats to be offered. Test mule of the SUV is yet to be spied, so we expect Hyundai to launch this SUV in the second half of 2025.

Hyundai in 2027 will be launching the new-generation Creta which will come with evolved design language while offering more space and comfort along with some new features.
