Hyundai India has unveiled the Creta King edition, priced at Rs 17.89 lakh (ex-showroom), marking a premium addition to the popular compact SUV lineup on its 10th anniversary in the country. The King edition sits at the apex of the Creta family, offering a host of advanced features, distinctive design elements, and enhanced comfort aimed at elevating the ownership experience in the highly competitive Indian SUV segment.

Key features and design

The Hyundai Creta King edition introduces 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a driver’s power seat memory function, and an eight-way powered passenger seat equipped with a walk-in device for easier access. Comfort and convenience are boosted by dual-zone automatic climate control and a sliding front armrest with storage compartments, while an integrated dashcam enhances safety.

On the technology front, the King edition boasts wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, along with a unique front-row seatback table designed to hold IT devices. The new variant also features exclusive King branding badges inside and out and is available in an attractive Black Matte paint option.

Range expansion: King Limited Edition and King Knight Variants

Alongside the King edition, Hyundai introduced two other special variants, the King Limited Edition and King Knight. The King Limited Edition offers unique branding on interior accessories such as seatbelt covers, headrest cushions, mats, and key covers. It comes in diesel and petrol automatic powertrains and finishes like Abyss Black, Atlas White, and Black Matte.

The King Knight variant flaunts an all-black aesthetic with matte black alloy wheels and shares several of the King edition’s premium feature highlights. These offerings aim to cater to different customer preferences while expanding the Creta’s appeal.
