Hyundai Creta: new iMT gearbox with 1.5 petrol
Hyundai is offering the new 6-speed iMT gearbox with the 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine on the Creta. This is the third model in Hyundai’s line-up to be offered with an iMT gearbox after the Venue and the i20. With this new addition, the Creta 1.5 petrol is now available with three gearbox options – 6-speed MT, 6-speed iMT and a CVT automatic.
According to information received from our dealers, we learnt that the CVT variants of the Creta have an average waiting period of at least six months, while for the manuals, it is three to four months. Given that the iMT is a new gearbox in the Creta range, it will also likely have a lower waiting period. The Creta iMT is in the process of reaching dealerships as of now.
The iMT gearbox is also offered on the Seltos petrol on its mid-spec HTK+ variant, where it comes mated to the same 1.5-litre petrol engine. The Seltos iMT HTK+ is priced at Rs 12.75 lakh (ex-showroom), which is Rs 7,000 more than the Creta, but it gets additional features like 16-inch alloys, over the Creta’s 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, LED Daytime Running Lamps and ambient lighting among others.
As such, the Creta S 1.5 iMT gets features such as an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment, a reverse parking camera, LED turn indicators on the wing mirrors, cruise control, push button start/stop, automatic climate control and a cooled glovebox.
Additionally, Kia has also introduced the iMT gearbox on the Seltos diesel. Read more on that here.
Hyundai Creta: Knight Edition introduced
Cashing in on the trend of Dark Editions from other brands, the new Creta Knight Edition gets a blacked-out theme for the exterior and interior. Updates include a new gloss black finish for the grille with red inserts, blacked-out front and rear skid plates and red front brake calipers.
The wing mirrors, roof rails, side sills and C pillar garnish also get a blacked-out treatment, while the Hyundai logo on the front and rear get a dark chrome finish. The wheels, meanwhile, have been finished in a new gun metal shade, with a Knight Edition emblem on the tail gate.
On the inside, the all-black theme continues for the seat upholstery and the dashboard, and for some contrast, the AC vents are finished in red. There’s red contrast stitching for the seats as well.
The Creta Knight Edition is available on the newly introduced S+ and the top-spec SX(O) automatic variants. It can be had with either the 1.5-litre petrol or diesel engines, but not with the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine.
Hyundai Creta: rivals in India
The popular Creta sees competition from the Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor and the Nissan Kicks, currently. In a few months, two new SUVs will join the segment, which are being jointly built by Maruti Suzuki and Toyota. Read more on that here.
