Hyundai Creta – Variants and Features

Hyundai Creta is creating headlines almost every single day – be it some spy-shots surfacing, be it it’s variant details being out or be it tentative pricing doing the rounds. Now, we have learnt that Creta compact SUV would be launched in total of 5 trims – L (base), S (mid), SX, SX+ and SX(O). The petrol variants would come in L (base), S (mid) and SX+ grades, while the 1.4-litre diesel will be available in L, S and SX+ guises, followed by the 1.6-litre diesel’s SX, SX+ and SX(O) time levels.

Talking about the features of Hyundai Creta L (base), it would flaunt dual tone body coloured bumpers, black radiator grille, front and rear skid plates, a micro roof antenna, blackened A and B pillars, body coloured rear garnish, wheel covers, black body mouldings, body-coloured door handles and ORVMs, and 16-inch steel wheels. Inside the cabin, features like front and rear map pockets, a 2-Din audio system with USB, Aux-in and i-Pod connectivity with 4 speakers, rear air-conditioner vents and centre armrest, tilt steering, central locking, electric tailgate release, keyless entry, folding key, power windows, day-night IRVM, lane change indicator, battery saver, shift indicators, adjustable front headrests, tachometer, trip meter, and front power outlets would be standard across the entire Creta line-up.
