Hyundai has launched a new Summer Edition of the Creta, adding more equipment to select trims of the midsize SUV, essentially bringing down a few high-end features to the lower and mid-spec variants. Priced from Rs 12.06 lakh, ex-showroom, the Creta Summer Edition can only be had with the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines and not the more powerful 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine.
- Creta Summer Edition costs Rs 10,000-Rs 55,000 more, depending on the trim
- Available with 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines with both MT and AT gearboxes
Hyundai Creta Summer Edition price
Depending on the trim, the Creta Summer Edition commands a premium of Rs 10,000 to Rs 55,000 over the regular Creta.
Hyundai Creta Summer Edition: What’s new?
The Creta Summer Edition introduces additional comfort and convenience features on lower and mid-spec trims. The features offered on the top King trims remain unchanged.
Creta EX Summer Edition
The second-from-base EX trim now gets keyless entry and push-button start-stop. These features are otherwise available from the S(O) trim.
Creta EX(O) Summer Edition
This trim benefits from the addition of quad beam LED headlamps and daytime running lamps (DRLs), LED tail-lamps, LED turn indicators, rear window sunshade, 16-inch steel wheels with dual-tone covers and a rear camera. All-LED lighting and a rear camera are otherwise offered from the S(O) trim.
Creta S(O), S(O) Knight Edition Summer Edition
This trim only adds a dashcam, which is available only on the top-spec SX Premium and King trims of the regular Creta.
Creta SX Summer Edition
The SX trim benefits from the addition of the large 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, which is otherwise reserved only for the top King trims.
Creta SX Premium Summer Edition
Lastly, the SX Premium now additionally gets a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring and front parking sensors. Again, these features were so far limited to the King variants.
Hyundai Creta Summer Edition powertrain options
The Creta Summer Edition can be had with either the 115hp/114Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine or the 116hp/250Nm 1.5-litre diesel engine. The respective MT, CVT and torque-converter automatic gearbox options are all available. However, the 160hp/253Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol variants offered on the top King and N Line trims do not see any new update.
With the midsize SUV space heating up with several new launches, most recently the Volkswagen Taigun facelift, this seems to be Hyundai’s attempt at keeping the buzz around the Creta alive, even though it remains the segment bestseller by a fair margin.
