New Creta Tows Trailer in Alps: Power Revealed!
23 Oct
Summary
- Next-generation Hyundai Creta prototype spotted towing a trailer in the Alps.
- The SUV is moving to the K3 platform, promising increased dimensions and safety.
- A strong hybrid powertrain is expected to be introduced later, enhancing fuel efficiency.
The upcoming Hyundai Creta has been observed in Europe, with a camouflaged prototype seen towing a trailer up a hill in the Alps. This sighting suggests the next-generation SUV will boast significant towing capabilities, previously not a common focus for the model in the Indian market. The test mule also displayed a planted stance around corners, hinting at improved dynamics.
Transitioning to the third-generation K3 platform, the new Creta is anticipated to be larger, stronger, and more technologically advanced than its predecessor. Spy shots indicate design cues such as a steeply raked A-pillar and a flatter roofline, with its overall aesthetic potentially influenced by the Hyundai Boulder concept.
Inside, the Creta is set for major enhancements, including a modern cabin design and Hyundai's new Pleos Connect infotainment system with a floating touchscreen and OTA updates. Advanced features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and ADAS are also speculated.
Initially, the new Creta will retain its current engine options: 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5L turbo-petrol, and 1.5L turbo-diesel. However, a significant development will be the eventual introduction of a 1.5L strong hybrid powertrain, promising substantial fuel efficiency improvements. The launch in the Indian market is expected around March of next year.
