The prototypes are most likely sourced from India (an import export website log shows that few units of Creta have been shipped to South America). Local media reports that Hyundai’s Brazilian factory would be prepared for the local assembly of the Creta which is set to commence sometime towards the end of 2016.

The Creta will be pitted against HR-V in Brazil.The prototype was fully camouflaged, preventing onlookers from appreciating the finer details but we don’t expect any significant styling differences compared to the India-spec model. However, it remains to be seen whether the crossover will adopt the Creta or ix25 moniker.
The Latin American version would be adopting a flex-fuel version of the 1.6-litre engine which is modified to run on both petrol and ethanol. The motor would produce 128 PS while running on ethanol. Transmission options include 6-speed MT and AT units. Only FWD variants are expected to be on offer.
