The new Creta features a parametric jewel-pattern grille flanked by integrated DRLs on both sides. As for the lights, the car comes with dual-beam projector headlamps at the front and an LED combination light at the rear. 

The Creta comes with a two-tone (Black and Cognac Brown) interior that features either a woven or leather or embroidered-leather upholstery, depending on the variant. Upfront, the dashboard features a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, and behind it is either a 3.5-inch segmented LCD cluster (in the Active and Trend variant) or a 10.25-inch TFT LCD cluster (in the Style and Prime variant).
