Hyundai has expanded the Creta lineup with two new variants: EX (O) and SX Premium. Alongside these, the brand has also added new features to the existing models, making the popular compact SUV even more appealing. With a starting price of Rs. 12.97 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated Creta range now offers more premium touches and tech upgrades. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.
SX Premium and EX (O)
The newly introduced EX (O) variant focuses on enhancing the driving experience with a panoramic sunroof and LED reading lamps. These additions make the cabin feel more spacious and well-lit, adding a premium touch to the lower trim.
Meanwhile, the SX Premium variant brings more luxury and comfort. It now features an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat, allowing for customized seating positions. Ventilated front seats ensure comfort during hot weather, while the scooped seat design and leatherette upholstery add to the premium feel. Additionally, Hyundai has upgraded the audio experience with an eight-speaker Bose sound system for immersive entertainment.
Updated Features
Hyundai hasn’t just introduced new variants—it has also upgraded the existing SX (O) and S (O) trims. The SX (O) model now comes with a rain-sensing wiper, making driving in bad weather more convenient. It also features scooped seats, which provide extra knee room for rear passengers, and a wireless charging pad in the second row, ensuring passengers can keep their devices powered on the go.
Additionally, the S (O) variant now includes a Smart Key with a motion sensor, offering better security and ease of use. This feature enhances keyless entry by detecting motion, preventing unauthorized access to the car.
Engine Options
The new Creta variants continue to be powered by the same reliable engines. Hyundai offers three engine options:
| Engine Type | Displacement | Transmission Options |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5L Petrol | 1497cc | 6-speed Manual, IVT |
| 1.5L Turbo-Petrol | 1482cc | 7-speed DCT |
| 1.5L Diesel | 1493cc | 6-speed Manual, 6-speed Automatic |
These powertrains provide a balanced mix of performance and fuel efficiency. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is suitable for daily commutes, while the turbo-petrol variant delivers a more spirited driving experience. The diesel engine remains a great choice for those looking for high fuel efficiency and long-distance travel.
With these updates, Hyundai continues to make the Creta more feature-rich and premium. Whether you prefer comfort, technology, or performance, the latest variants cater to different needs without compromising on value.
