Hyundai India launches new editions for its SUV portfolio, including the Creta, Creta Electric and the Alcazar. The new refreshes to these SUVs aim to elevate the luxury quotient of the SUVs by giving a new ambience in the cabins and more features to further pamper backseat passengers. This is a timely update to the SUVs, especially since the festive season is around the corner, which results in more car purchases on the auspicious occasion.
Let’s explore what the new SUVs get:
What's New With The Lounge Editions?
The Lounge Edition for each SUV comes with an exclusive new colour called Golden Bronze.
And on the interior, it gets a new feature like a new 11.6-inch touchscreen rear-seat entertainment system as well.

The Creta Lounge Edition is largely based on the top King variants of the regular Creta. However, the upgrades in the Lounge Edition are the aforementioned Golden Bronze colour, the black painted front and rear skid plates and the door sill trims. This also includes 18-inch matte black alloy wheels.
On the interior, the highlighting upgrade in the Creta Lounge Edition is the new 11.6-inch rear seat entertainment screen, silver-coloured accent trims, and a new white ambient lighting theme. The seats also get a new design pattern, with the rear headrest cushions getting the ‘Lounge’ stitching.
