The actor started his association with the Korean automaker back in 1998, when he was lead in Santro’s TVC. Twenty-two years later, SRK was also part of the new-gen Creta’s unveiling at the 2020 Auto Expo last month. Right after the car’s official launch on March 16, Mr Khan received an all-new Creta from the Hyundai India management in Mumbai. While the fuel variant of the Creta he received has not been revealed, but by taking a look at it we can tell that it is the range-topping SX(O) trim with diamond cut alloys that comes with all the bells and whistles. Hyundai offers the 2020 Creta with three different powertrains, including a 1.5L petrol, a 1.5L diesel and a 1.4L turbocharged petrol engine as well.
