Celebrating a Milestone with Royal Touch
Hyundai Motor India unveiled the Creta King, alongside the King Limited Edition and King Knight, to mark a decade of Creta’s dominance as India’s favorite mid-size SUV.

The new trims elevate the Creta’s persona with premium touches and curated aesthetics designed to resonate with buyers celebrating the brand’s decade-long journey.
Trim-by-Trim Breakdown: King, King Knight, and Hyundai Launches Creta King Edition
The Creta King sits atop the regular trim ladder, launching at a starting price of ₹17.88 lakh. It extends luxury within the Creta with features such as a memory-enabled driver seat, an eight-way electrically adjustable front passenger seat with walk-in capability, rear-facing seat-back trays, a dashcam, wireless connectivity for mobile mirroring, dual-zone climate control operated via touch panel, and an exclusive King emblem detailing.
The Creta King Limited Edition builds on this with personalized branding inside: custom seatbelt covers, key covers, colored headrest cushions, premium mats, and door frame accents—all sporting ‘King’ motifs—offering enhanced cabin exclusivity.
The Creta King Knight evokes a more mysterious mood with full matte black alloy wheels, an all-black theme and unique Knight emblems, combining stealth styling with premium Creta comfort.
Styling and Comfort Enhancements
A key draw is the all-new Black Matte exterior, further enhanced by bold 18-inch alloy wheels—dual-tone for the King and matte black for the Knight. Inside, Hyundai brings comfort to the forefront with an intelligent layout that includes seatback trays cleverly integrated for device use and cup holding, a sliding armrest for optimized central storage, and supportive seats that elevate long-drive comfort.
Dual-zone climate control with a sleek touch panel offers effortless temperature management, while dashcam integration adds daily convenience and security.
Connectivity and Intelligent Driving Features
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay through a retrofit adapter bring seamless smartphone integration—a useful upgrade for daily commuting or family driving. The inclusion of dashcam functionality, coupled with convenience and comfort upgrades, positions the Creta King range as a modern, tech-savvy option without pushing into luxury pricing territory.
Powertrain Options and Pricing Overview
All King-series trims retain the Creta’s diverse powertrain options:
- 1.5L naturally aspirated (MPi) petrol available with manual or IVT.
- 1.5L diesel with 6MT or 6-speed automatic.
- 1.5L Turbo GDi petrol (available only on the King trim) paired with a 7-speed DCT.
The price spectrum spans from ₹17.88 lakh for the base Creta King (petrol MT) to around ₹20.91 lakh for the King Limited Edition Diesel AT. The King Knight sits in between—priced between ₹19.49 lakh and ₹20.77 lakh depending on the variant.
Broader Enhancements Across the Creta Lineup
To reinforce its festive-season offering, Hyundai has also upgraded other Creta variants—regular and N Line—with dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless smartphone mirroring, a dashcam, and refreshed 18-inch alloys across the range. These upgrades elevate the overall brand value of the lineup and offer buyers more value at every price point.
Why It Matters to Buyer Expectations
With the Creta commanding over 1.2 million sales and remaining a consistent bestseller, the Creta King editions enhance emotional cosmetic appeal while offering tangible comfort and tech benefits. Hyundai ensures there’s more than just a badge to mark the 10-year milestone; it brings real value with convenience, premium features, and aesthetic upgrades.
Final Thoughts: Regal by Name, Rich in Experience
The Hyundai Creta King Edition is more than a celebratory trim. It encapsulates a decade of leadership, offering fans of the SUV a refreshed identity, exclusive features, and refined comforts—all designed to celebrate the legacy and elevate the driving experience across the Creta range.
