- Hyundai discontinued SX Tech and SX(O) trims in the Creta lineup in India
- Creta is now offered in seven trims from E to King with changed feature distribution
- Level 2 ADAS is available only on the top-spec King trim after the update
Hyundai has updated the Creta's variant lineup in India by discontinuing the SX Tech and SX(O) trims, a move that has changed the SUV's pricing structure and feature distribution. With this revision, the popular midsize SUV is now offered in seven trim levels: E, EX, EX(O), S(O), SX, SX Premium, and King.
Hyundai Creta Variant Lineup
The most notable change is the reduced accessibility of Level 2 ADAS. Earlier, the SX Tech trim offered the advanced driver assistance suite at a relatively lower price point, but with its removal, customers will now have to move to the top-spec King trim to get the feature. That means buyers who want the same safety tech must now spend significantly more than before.

The SX(O) trim, meanwhile, held the top position when the second-generation Creta facelift was first introduced in 2024. However, it later lost that status after Hyundai brought in the King trim, which now sits at the top of the range. Notably, Hyundai has not added any new equipment to the remaining variants as part of this update.
Hyundai Creta Price
The latest variant reshuffle has also changed the Creta's price ladder, with the lineup now starting at Rs 10.79 lakh for the base E petrol MT and climbing to Rs 19.90 lakh for the King turbo-petrol DCT.

The discontinued SX Tech had last been priced between Rs 15.69 lakh and Rs 17.22 lakh, which made it an attractive middle-ground option for buyers wanting ADAS without stepping up to the top trim. With the SX(O) also removed, the only way to get Level 2 ADAS now is to move to the King, which starts at Rs 17.27 lakh and goes up to Rs 19.86 lakh for the diesel AT.
Hyundai Creta Facelift
The latest change has led to renewed discussion around the Creta's future product cycle. While the trim rationalisation has fueled speculation about facelift preparations, there is no official confirmation from Hyundai that a new Creta facelift is imminent. For now, the update appears to be a strategic reshuffle aimed at streamlining the lineup and repositioning features more sharply across variants.
