Hyundai Creta revised variant launched: Check key features and other details

Hyundai Creta has received a revised variant lineup for the 2026 model year, with Hyundai Motor India discontinuing the SX Tech and SX(O) trims as part of an effort to simplify the SUV’s range and reduce overlap between variants.

Following the update, the Creta is now available in seven trims — E, EX, EX(O), S(O), SX, SX Premium and the top-spec King variant. Prices now range between Rs 10.79 lakh and Rs 19.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

The company has also discontinued the S petrol and diesel manual variants, E diesel manual and S(O) Knight Edition. In addition, all SX Tech and SX(O) variants have been removed along with select special editions including the King Limited 1.5 petrol CVT, King 1.5 Turbo DCT, King Limited 1.5 Turbo DCT and King Knight diesel automatic. However, the Creta Summer Edition introduced last month will continue to remain on sale in multiple variants.


With the removal of the SX Tech trim, Level-2 ADAS features are now exclusive to the range-topping King variant, meaning buyers looking for advanced driver assistance systems will have to opt for the most expensive version of the SUV.

The Creta continues to be offered with three engine options — a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 115 PS and 144 Nm, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit delivering 160 hp and 260 Nm, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine generating 116 PS and 250 Nm. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual, iMT, CVT (iVT), 6-speed automatic and a 7-speed DCT.

Feature highlights on the top-spec variant include dual 10.25-inch displays for the infotainment system and instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control, Bose sound system, powered driver’s seat, ambient lighting, connected car technology, OTA updates, air purifier, rain-sensing wipers and wireless smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

On the safety front, the SUV offers six airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, tyre pressure monitoring system, 360-degree camera and Level-2 ADAS.
