Which Hyundai Creta variant should you buy?
There are 21 ways to buy a Creta, across 7 trims, from ₹10.91L to ₹19.91L ex-showroom Delhi.
Pound for pound the ladder pays best at King: ₹0.94L more than SX Premium, and it is the step that hands back the most kit for the money.
The ladder keeps paying to the end here: King is both the last step up and the one that asks least per feature.
How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

- Safety kit: King, from ₹17.28L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best. Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
- Automatic: the cheapest is the EX(O) Petrol AT at ₹14.50L. See it
Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Creta is sold with 3 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
