The Creta is now available with an iMT (clutchless manual) gearbox. The iMT has been paired with the SUV’s 115PS 1.5-litre petrol engine, which also comes with 6-speed manual and CVT automatic options. One big letdown is that the iMT is offered only in the mid-spec ‘S’ variant.

Hyundai Creta S+ Variant

Hyundai has introduced a new S+ variant of the Creta that is available with petrol, diesel, and turbo-petrol engine options. However, the S+ petrol and diesel can be had only with the Knight Edition. 

The S+ DCT variant gains certain features over the S variant, including a panoramic sunroof, 16-inch alloys, rear disc brakes, wireless charging, paddle shifters, metal pedals, auto-folding ORVMs, auto up/down feature for the power windows, electronic stability control (ESC), vehicle stability management (VSM), and hill start assist.
