Hyundai has updated the 2026 Creta’s trim lineup by discontinuing the mid-level SX Tech and SX(O) trims from its lineup. From nine trims previously, the best-selling mid-size SUV is now available in seven trims: E, EX, EX (O), S (O), SX, SX Premium, and King.
- SX Tech trim offered Level 2 ADAS at a more accessible price.
- SX(O) trim was previously a top-of-the-line trim when the Creta facelift was first introduced.

Hyundai Creta SX Tech and SX(O) trims discontinued: A brief context
With a last recorded price ranging from Rs 15.69 lakh to Rs 17.22 lakh, the SX Tech was a mid-level trim in the Creta’s trim lineup. For customers who fancy ADAS tech, the trim offered it at a more affordable price point. Since the trim has been discontinued, buyers will have to pay up to Rs 1.48 lakh more for the top-end King trim, which is the only one to offer Level 2 ADAS.
When the second-gen Creta facelift was introduced back in 2024, the SX(O) trim was designated as the top-of-the-line trim. It lost that spot to the King trim, which was introduced last year. Despite the discontinuation of the above trims, no feature additions have happened to the remainder of the trim lineup. Those looking to get a few feel-good features on a particular trim could opt for the Summer Edition at an additional cost of up to Rs 55,000.
2026 Hyundai Creta powertrains
The Creta continues to offer a trio of 1.5-litre petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel engines. The naturally aspirated petrol delivers 115hp and 144Nm of torque, the turbo-petrol produces 160hp and 253Nm of torque, while the diesel outputs 116hp and 250Nm of torque. A 6-speed manual is standard on the naturally aspirated petrol and diesel engines, with the former offering a CVT and the latter offering a 6-speed automatic transmission. The turbo-petrol, however, is mated with a 7-speed DCT gearbox only.
