The Return of the Creta Action Targets the PWD Audience and Repositions the Version as an Entry-Level Option, with Equipment Cuts to Keep the Price Below R$ 120,000 and Deliveries Expected from March 2026.
Hyundai announced on Wednesday (11) the return of the Action version to the 2026 Creta lineup.
According to the manufacturer, the new configuration was developed to be priced at up to R$ 120,000, a ceiling that allows for the application of tax incentives provided for by current legislation for people with disabilities (PWD).
The brand stated that the 2026 Creta Action adopts the model’s current look.

Return of the Action with Current Look of the 2026 Creta
Until recently, the Action designation was associated with the previous generation of the SUV.
Now, the name returns in a configuration aligned with the latest design of the Creta, but with a simplified package to meet the price positioning announced by the company.
With this, the Action now acts as an entry-level option in the 2026 lineup, maintaining the same body structure as the updated model while differentiating the content of items compared to higher versions.
Dimensions of the Hyundai Creta Action 2026 and Trunk
The 2026 Creta Action maintains wheelbase of 2,610 mm and trunk capacity of 422 liters, according to the specifications released.
In practice, these numbers prioritize space for rear-seat occupants and the capacity of the cargo compartment.
Hyundai relates these dimensions to the target audience of the version, who may need to accommodate mobility support equipment and other items in the trunk, depending on their usage profile.
Engine 1.0 TGDI and Automatic Transmission in the Creta Action
Under the hood, the 2026 Action continues with the 1.0 TGDI flex three-cylinder engine.
According to the provided data, the setup delivers up to 120 hp and a maximum torque of 172 Nm.
The transmission is six-speed automatic, a combination recommended by the brand as suitable for the vehicle’s urban proposal.

The company did not indicate any changes in the mechanical tuning specific to the Action configuration, maintaining the same engine family used in other versions of the lineup with the 1.0 turbo engine.
Standard Items of the Creta Action 2026: Safety and Convenience
To make the suggested price of R$ 119,990 viable, Hyundai adopted a more basic set of features compared to higher versions.
The Creta Action comes standard with six airbags (front, side, and curtain) and electronic traction and stability controls (ESP).
The list of assistance and safety features includes hill start assist system (HAC), emergency braking signal, and direct tire pressure monitoring, according to the version’s package description.
In terms of convenience, the version offers progressive electric steering, cruise control, smart key, and Stop & Go system for fuel economy during temporary stops.
Another item mentioned by the manufacturer is the rear seat occupancy alert, a feature aimed at reducing the risk of forgetting items after disembarking.
On the exterior, the 2026 Action comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, maintaining a visual set similar to other configurations of the model, despite the differences in equipment.
What Was Removed from the Version: Multimedia, Bluelink, and ADAS
In comparison to better-equipped versions, the 2026 Creta Action does not include the multimedia center with Bluelink connectivity, according to the launch material.
The advanced driver assistance package (ADAS) is also not available in this configuration, nor is ambient lighting.
The simplification also includes the absence of the trunk lid, which may make transported objects more visible when the compartment is loaded, depending on the organization of the luggage.
Price of the Creta Action PWD and Value After Exemptions
The pricing strategy is the central point of the launch.
Hyundai claims that the list price of R$ 119,990 allows PWD customers to access the full IPI exemption and the partial ICMS exemption, according to applicable rules.
According to the manufacturer, after applying the tax deductions provided for and considering the buyer’s eligibility, the final cost of the vehicle may reach R$ 104,750.
The company emphasizes that the purchase depends on the required documentation and necessary tax approvals for the modality.
Orders at Dealerships and Deliveries Beginning in March 2026
Hyundai informed that its dealerships are already authorized to receive orders for the 2026 Creta Action in the PWD modality, contingent on the presentation of required documents and authorization processes.
The timeline indicated by the manufacturer forecasts that the first units will be delivered to owners starting March 2026.
