With Hyundai sending Block Your Date notification for 16th January, 2024 for the Hyundai Creta Facelift Launch, we thought of comparing the Creta Facelift against one of its rival, Toyota Hyryder to see how both perform against each other!
Hyundai Creta Facelift vs Toyota Hyryder: Design
The upcoming Hyundai Creta Facelift will feature a large front grille with 3 vertical and horizontal slats. It has a connected LED DRLs at the front whose width spans across the full front body. Then there is the square-shape LED headlamp units with dual-cube shape inside them for low and high-beam light projection. Below the grille is the rectangle unit which is radar for the ADAS, and bumpers are made of skid plates. The side profile remains simple with creases on the body, black-colored roof rails, and new 18-inch alloy wheel. The rear features new connected LED taillamps in L-shape, and shark fin antenna on top, and single-tip exhaust on non-turbo trims, and dual-tip exhaust for turbo trims.
The new Creta Facelift features dual 10.25-inch screens – one for infotainment system, and one for digital instrument cluster. The dashboard layout will change because the dual-screen will be free-standing which would move the rectangular AC vents below them while in the outgoing version, they were positioned above the infotainment system. The vertical positional at the sides of the AC vents will continue to remain the same, and it’s likely it’ll feature the 4-spoke steering wheel similar to the Tucson. The center console will have buttons for ventilated and heated seat, audi-like gear shift lever, rotary dial for drive modes, two cupholders, and manual handbrake for lower trims, and electric parking brake for top trims.
Moreover, it’ll get two USB-C ports both at the front and the rear for fast-charging your phone. The seats at the front are electrically adjustable while the rear seats can be reclined as per your comfort. The rear seats are split in 60:40 ratio, multiple color options for ambient lighting, a huge panoramic sunroof on top, and it continues to have the 8 Speaker Bose Premium Sound System.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder at the front has blacked out element with chrome line that is connected at both the sides of LED lights, chrome inserts around the fog lamps with rounded square grille and the bumper both at the front and rear finished in faux silver skid plate. Moving to the side, it has chrome line at the bottom window frame, cuts on the doors with 17-inch alloy wheels, and non-functional roof rails contributing towards the design. At the rear, it has LED taillamps joining the chrome line with Toyota logo and reverse parking light with indicators above it are vertically positioned.
The Hyryder on the inside, features a 9-inch infotainment system placed above the AC vents and the AC vents at the sides positioned horizontally. It does have the dual-tone dashboard theme option as well with leather seat upholstery. The Hyryder has a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a digital instrument cluster although the image you’re seeing has Analog instrument cluster which is available in all the variants except the top variant. The Hyryder has two USB ports at the front and rear, buttons for ventilated seats, driver mode, and EV mode. The Hyryder also has a Heads-up Display top of the instrument cluster. At the rear, the seats are split in 60:40 ratio and it has a 6-speaker Arkamy’s sound system.
