Hyundai Creta Summer Edition Updates
Hyundai has added a few extra features across different variants of the Creta under the Summer Edition lineup, mainly by bringing higher-end features down to more affordable trims. Here are the updates:
-
EX: Starting with the EX variant, it now gets keyless entry and push-button start, features that were earlier available only from the higher S(O) trim onwards.
-
EX(O): The EX(O) variant sees a more noticeable upgrade, with the addition of full LED lighting including headlamps, DRLs, tail lamps and turn indicators. It also gets a rear camera, rear window sunshade, and 16-inch steel wheels with dual-tone covers. These features were previously limited to higher trims like the S(O).
-
S(O) and S(O) Knight: Moving to the S(O) and S(O) Knight Edition, the only new addition is a dashcam, which was earlier offered only in the top-end variants.
-
SX: The SX variant now comes with a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a feature that was earlier exclusive to the top-spec versions.
-
SX Premium: Finally, the SX Premium variant gets more advanced features such as a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, and front parking sensors, all of which were previously reserved for the highest trims in the lineup.
| Note: The Summer Editions are based on the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and the 1.5-litre diesel engine of the aforementioned variant. You don’t get any turbo-petrol options in this edition. |
