South Koran car maker Hyundai has revealed a luxurious and feature-laden version of the Creta SUV dubbed Diamond at the ongoing Sao Paulo Motor Show 2018 in Brazil. Offspring of Hyundai Motor Brazil and the subsidiary in the South American market, the Creta Diamond is a concept for now while it looks like closer to reality in the near future.

The premium touch of the Creta Diamond is further accentuated with 19-inch diamond cut alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance tires in the 245/45 R19 configuration. Among the main novelties on the exterior, a large panoramic sunroof cannot go unnoticed.

Inside the cabin, the luxury quotient stepped up with microfibre seats in ivory and caramel colours, painted in three colours (caramel, ivory and brown, like banks) and exclusive logos. Similar dual-tone set up has been extended to the dashboard as well while the steering wheel and gear knob get pure leather upholstery.
