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 has also introduced a new Knight Edition version of the Creta and the variant features ‘Knight Edition’ branding, a blacked-out grille with red inserts, dark chrome ‘Hyundai’ logo, gloss black finishing for the front and rear skid plates, C-pillar garnish, roof rails, ORVMs, shark fin antenna, and tail lamp inserts.
The alloys get a dark metal finish with red brake callipers. The cabin also gets the all-black treatment and there are red inserts on the air vents and seat upholstery.
As for the S+ Dark Knight variants, you only get a smart panoramic sunroof, LED headlamps and DRLs, and 16-inch alloys over the mid-spec S variant. The S+ DCT is available with more features.
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.
Most importantly, the S+ DCT starts from Rs 15.58 lakh, which reduces the starting price of variants with the turbo-petrol motor by around Rs 2.5 lakh. Earlier, the turbo-DCT option was available only with the SX and SX (O) variants.
Other Updates
Hyundai is now offering tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) as standard across all variants. The top-end SX (O) variant is now available with a gloss black centre console. Lastly, the SUV is now available in a Denim Blue colour.
