Top 5 New Cars to Buy in 2023

2023 promises to be an exciting year for both automakers and the end consumer. There are a whole lot of products to be introduced under different categories like hatchback, sedan and SUV. Furthermore, with the Delhi Auto Expo 2023 at hand, one can expect a lot of concepts, and production models to be showcased during the motor show. Today, we take a look at ‘The Top 5 New Cars to Buy in 2023’.

All-New Hyundai Verna

Hyundai Motor India who is participating in the upcoming 2023 Delhi Auto Expo will be showcasing the All-New Verna. The sedan is expected to go on sale around April next year. A generation change, the new sedan will offer a new look both upfront and towards the rear. The overall design of the vehicle is said to be inspired from the brand’s new Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy. 

Interior of the 2023 Hyundai Verna will be updated with features like a bigger touchscreen infotainment system with integrated Android Auto and Apple Carplay, a digital instrument console, dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera and more. The four-wheeler is also expected to come with ADAS-Tech like Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross-Traffic Assistance and Driver Attention Monitoring System.

Hyundai Creta Facelift

Similar to the All-New Verna, the South Korean automaker will be displaying the Creta Facelift at the 2023 Indian Auto Expo. The compact SUV was previously showcased during the 2021 GIIAS Motor Show in Indonesia. 

One major criticism of the Second-Generation Creta has been its divisive looks. To correct that, the company will be updating the model with a completely redesigned front-end. Its design elements are said to be inspired from Hyundai’s recently launched Tucson SUV. The upgraded front profile will feature Hyundai’s parametric grille with integrated LED DRLs. The side profile of the vehicle will remain more or less similar to the current model. While its tailgate will be refreshed offering angular tail lights and a new bumper.

Moving to the interior, its layout is believed to remain similar to the current model. Feature list here would include an updated 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Hyundai’s BlueLink-connected car tech, heated and cooled front seats, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof and more.

Expect the facelifted Creta to come equipped with ADAS-tech features like Forward Collision Warning, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Collision Warning, and Driver Attention Warning which can also be found on the Tucson.
