Here Are The Major Differences Between The Standard Hyundai Creta And Hyundai Creta Knight Edition

The Hyundai Creta Knight Edition builds on the regular Creta with unique design elements that set it apart from the standard model

The Hyundai Creta has long been a top choice in India, dominating compact SUV sales month after month. But beyond the standard model, Hyundai offers the Creta N Line and Knight Edition for those seeking extra exclusivity. If you are torn between the regular Creta and the Knight Edition, here are some key differences to help you decide.

A Contemporary Exterior Design

While both versions share a similar design with split headlights, connected LED DRLs, and quad-beam headlights, they each have distinct touches. Both feature black elements on the parametric grille, but the standard Creta sports a brushed aluminium Hyundai logo, black chrome grille elements and a silver skid plate on the bumper. The Creta Knight Edition, on the other hand, goes fully blacked out, with a black Hyundai logo, piano black grille elements and a black front skid plate.

On the sides, both models come with 17-inch alloy wheels, though the standard Creta has diamond-cut rims, whereas the Knight Edition has blacked-out rims with striking red brake callipers for added sportiness. The Knight Edition also swaps the silver roof rails and chrome door handles of the standard Creta for blacked-out versions. Even the silver trim extending from the front window to the C-pillar gets a glossy black makeover in the Knight Edition.

At the rear, both feature connected tail lights mirroring the LED DRL design up front. However, the Knight Edition goes further with matte black finishes on the Hyundai logo and Creta emblem, a blacked-out rear skid plate, and a distinctive Knight emblem on the boot lid to signify its special status.

Each version offers a range of colour options, details of which are shown in the table below: 

A Sportier Interior

The regular Creta features a dual-tone black and grey interior theme, while the Creta Knight Edition’s all-black interior delivers a sportier vibe. Unique brass accents add sophistication to the Knight Edition, appearing below the dual screens on the dashboard, around the AC vents, on the gear lever, and across the centre console.

The seats elevate the look with black leatherette upholstery detailed with brass piping on the backrest, and the front centre armrest has matching brass stitching. Additionally, metallic pedals complete the sportier feel inside the Creta Knight Edition.

Versatile Powertrain Options

The Hyundai Creta Knight Edition is powered by either a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol motor or a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Both engines are available with both manual and automatic gearboxes. The in-depth specifications are given below:

*CVT = Continuously variable automatic transmission

AT =  Torque converter automatic transmission

The regular Creta also gets a 1.5-litre turbo petrol motor which churns out 160 PS and 253 Nm. This engine is paired with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT).

A Similar Feature Suite

Even though the exterior and interior design differ, the Knight Edition still boasts the same set of features that comes with the regular model. These include the dual 10.25-inch displays (with one being a touchscreen and the other being a digital instrument cluster), an 8-speaker Bose sound system and connected car tech. Moreover, it also gets a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, dual-zone auto AC with rear vents, and power-adjustable front seats with ventilation function.

The Creta Knight Edition is also armoured like the regular Creta in terms of safety features. It has six airbags (as standard), a 360-degree camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). A hill start assist, an electronic handbrake and all four disc brakes at the rear. A Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) suite encompassing lane keep assist, forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control, among other features, is also on offer.

Everything At A Slight Increment

Think all these custom touches would break the bank? Not at all! Hyundai offers the Creta Knight Edition at only a modest premium over the standard model. Here’s the breakdown:

We believe it is worth every penny spent for the unique look the Creta Knight Edition delivers for an added Rs 15,000. Note that opting for the special Titan Grey Matte colour theme attracts an extra cost of Rs 5000, while a two-tone paint scheme costs Rs 15,000 more on the price tag of the Knight Edition. The price of the Hyundai Creta range starts from Rs 11 lakhs and goes as high as Rs 20.30 lakhs (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
