Hyundai is planning to introduce the first anniversary edition of its hot-selling SUV – Creta, next month. This special edition will be based on the SX trim with a 1.6-litre diesel engine producing 128hp and 259.8Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox only.
Like the Maruti Vitara Brezza, it sports a dual-tone paint scheme, expected to be available in three exterior colour options – Polar White, Silky Silver and Passion Red, with a black roof and A-, B- and C-pillars. Hyundai has also slapped on some grey and red vinyl stripes on the sides and the C-pillars, along with the '1 Anniversary Edition' badge across to distinguish it from the regular car. In addition, the 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and chrome door handles from the SX(O) trim also seem to be part of the standard equipment.
Changes to the interiors include new dual-tone seat covers and the addition of a keyless entry and engine start/stop button from the top variant. The first anniversary edition is likely to be priced at a slight premium over the regular SX trim.
