Whats Different In The King Edition
The new King Editions feature several changes in design and equipment. On the outside, these include darker styling elements, new badging, and larger 18-inch alloy wheels with distinctive design that differentiate them from the standard versions. Inside, buyers get features such as ventilated seats, soft-touch surfaces, and minor updates to the infotainment and safety technology. Moreover, these variants get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though it uses a wired-to-wireless adapter. The Knight version gets a sportier appearance with its blacked-out styling, while the Limited Edition packs in a broader set of high-end features usually reserved for the top trims.
While there are few cosmetic updates, there are no changes in the mechanicals. The Creta continues to be powered by 1.5-litre MPi Petrol (113 BHP, 144 NM) with MT and IVT, 1.5-litre TGDi Petrol (158 BHP, 253 NM) with DCT and 1.5-litre CRDi Diesel (115 BHP, 250 NM) with MT and AT powertrains.
Conclusion
The new King Editions underline Hyundai’s strategy of keeping its best-selling SUV fresh and appealing in an increasingly competitive mid-size SUV segment. Rivals like the Skoda Kushaq and Honda Elevate are also offering special editions to attract buyers. By pricing the limited editions at a slight premium, Hyundai is catering to customers who want a distinctive look and added features.
