The facelifted Creta draws inspiration from the new Kia Seltos, offering a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, redesigned exterior, upgraded cabin, and Level 2 ADAS features. With features borrowed from the Verna, including dual 10.25-inch displays, switchable controls, and heated/ventilated seats, the new Creta promises a plush and tech-savvy driving experience.
