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 base 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 more comfort and convenience features on base and mid-spec trims. The features offered on the top-spec 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 DRLs, LED tail lamps, LED turn indicators, rear window sunshade, 16 steel wheels with dual-tone covers and a rear camera. Both all-LED lighting and rear camera are otherwise offered from the S(O) trim onwards.
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 sensor. So far, these features were again 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 or torque converter automatic gearboxes are all on offer. However, the 160hp/253Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol variants, already offered on 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. It, however, continues to be the best-seller in its segment by a fair margin.
