This new pricing allows customers to save approximately ₹70,000 to ₹75,000 on this particular variant, benefiting from the new GST.
Striking Exterior Design
The Hyundai Creta King Edition features a distinctive look with several notable exterior elements.
Front Profile Highlights
At the front, the Creta King Edition showcases connected DRLs (Daytime Running Lights). Below these, you will find a setup of LED automatic headlamps, which offer excellent illumination at night. The front grille is large, with the Hyundai logo positioned in the center. A 360-degree camera is placed just below the logo. For advanced safety, an ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) camera is visible, and the radar system is located lower down. The front bumper also includes four parking sensors. A grey skid plate completes the front look, and the entire front engine area is covered. The Hyundai Creta offers a ground clearance of 190 mm.
Side View and Wheels
Moving to the side, the vehicle is equipped with dual wipers and washers. Both the headlamps and wipers function automatically. The ADAS camera can also be seen from the side profile. The roof features a large panoramic sunroof and grey roof rails. The A-pillar is finished in glossy black. The ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors) are auto-foldable, incorporating indicators, cameras (part of the 360-degree system), and puddle lamps. A distinct and new alloy wheel design is specific to this King Edition. The wheels feature five nuts and the Hyundai logo. Both the front and rear wheels are fitted with disc brakes. The tire profile for the King Edition is 18 inches (215/55 R18), which is an upgrade from the standard 17-inch tires found on other variants. The door handles are body-colored, and the B-pillars are black.
Rear Design Elements
The rear profile of the Creta King Edition is equally impressive. It features connected LED taillights, with the Hyundai logo integrated into the glass. Indicators are also incorporated into these lights. Standard features include a rear wiper, defogger, a high-mount stop lamp, and a shark fin antenna. The King Edition is proudly marked with a “King Edition” badge at the back, alongside the Creta badging. The rear bumper is a dual-tone design, with a reverse light in the center.
