A decade ago, Hyundai introduced the Creta to India’s SUV market, promptly turning it into a household name. Now, to mark the model’s 10th anniversary, Hyundai has introduced three new celebratory variants: the Creta King, Creta King Limited, and Creta King Knight. Think of them as the familiar Creta, but with more bling, tech, and a dash of exclusivity.

New top-end “King” trim replaces SX (O).
-
Prices start at ₹17.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
-
Features: powered co-driver seat, dual-zone climate control, and dashcam.

Key Details
Pricing
-
Creta King: from ₹17.89 lakh
-
Creta King Limited: up to ₹20.92 lakh
-
Creta King Knight: roughly ₹1.5 lakh more than the SX (O) automatic equivalent.
Features
The Creta King introduces powered co-driver seating, driver’s seat memory, a dashcam, dual-zone auto climate with a touch panel, and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Outside, it rides on 18-inch diamond-cut alloys and proudly displays a “King” badge.
The King Knight Edition keeps its dark, brooding aesthetic with matte black alloys and a Knight emblem, while carrying over the tech upgrades from the King.
The King Limited Edition leans into its anniversary role with branded seatbelt covers, cushions, mats, and a key cover. It’s available in Abyss Black, Atlas White, and a new Black Matte paint.
Engines & Power
Mechanically, it’s business as usual. The Creta King range offers:
-
1.5 NA petrol (115 bhp, 144 Nm) with 6-MT or CVT
-
1.5 turbo-petrol (160 bhp, 253 Nm) with 7-DCT
-
1.5 diesel (116 bhp, 250 Nm) with 6-MT or 6-AT
The King trim gets most options except the manual turbo-petrol, while the Limited and Knight are confined to petrol CVT and diesel AT setups.
Verdict
Hyundai isn’t reinventing the Creta here, nor does it need to. The King editions are smartly timed, festive-season specials that inject some extra appeal into an already dominant SUV. More kit, a few cosmetic flourishes, and the promise of exclusivity should keep the Creta crown secure for a while longer.
