What’s New? Features Fit for Royalty
Hyundai has introduced exciting new features to the King Series. Many of these are firsts in the segment, meaning they are not available in any other SUV in this segment. These additions focus on making your driving more comfortable, convenient and safe.
8-Way Powered Driver Seat with Memory: This is a fantastic luxury feature. You can adjust your seat perfectly using the buttons. The car then remembers your seating position. If someone else is driving, you can get back to your perfect position with just one touch.
8-Way Powered Passenger Seat: Hyundai extends this comfort to the co-passenger as well. Now, the person sitting next to the driver can also adjust their seat electronically. This is a very premium touch.
Dashcam with Dual Camera: Safety is more important than ever. Hyundai now includes a built-in dashcam. It has two cameras. One records the road ahead and the other records the cabin or rear view. This provides evidence and gives you peace of mind in the event of an accident.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: No more messy cables! In top models, you can now wirelessly connect your phone to the car’s large touchscreen. You can seamlessly use maps, music and calls from your phone. Hyundai listened to customer feedback and added this highly sought-after feature.
Sliding front armrest: For long drives, comfort is important. The new sliding front armrest provides good support for your arms. It also has a useful storage space inside.
Exclusive ‘King’ branding: To make you feel special, the ‘King’ logo is embroidered on the headrests and floor mats. It’s a small detail that adds to the special feel of the car.
Meet the Royal Family: Three Unique Personalities
All three King versions have new premium features. However, Hyundai has given each one a unique style. This allows you to choose the one that best suits your personality.
- Hyundai Creta King
This is the base model of the Royal series. This is for those who want elegance and luxury. It comes in three beautiful colors: Abyss Black, Atlas White and the all-new, striking Matte Black. The matte finish looks incredibly sophisticated and is sure to grab attention. Inside, the seats feature premium upholstery with the ‘King’ logo.
- Hyundai Creta King Limited Edition
This model takes exclusivity to the next level. It has all the features and color options of the Creta King, including Matte Black. But it also has a special ‘Limited Edition’ badge on the back. Hyundai will only build a few of these cars. This makes it a rare and special property. If you want a car that very few people will own, then this is the one for you.
- Hyundai Creta King Knight
This version is for those who love a bold, sporty and powerful look. The Creta King Knight has an all-black theme. It looks aggressive and very stylish.
The key highlights of the Knight version are:
All-black exteriors: The front grille, roof rails, skid plates and door handles are all finished in glossy black.
Sporty red brake calipers: The front brake calipers are painted in bright red. This small touch gives the car a high-performance look.
‘Knight’ emblem: The tailgate has a unique ‘Knight’ emblem.
All-black interior with red accents: The sporty theme continues inside. The cabin is all-black with beautiful red stitching on the seats and steering wheel. The AC vents also have red inserts. This creates a very dynamic and youthful atmosphere.

Under the hood, Hyundai uses its reliable and powerful engines. You get two engine choices with the King series, both with automatic transmissions for a smooth driving experience.
