The Hyundai Creta EX is the entry point into India’s best-selling mid-size SUV, making the Creta badge and its core strengths accessible at the lowest price in the range.
National Automobiles examines whether the base EX variant delivers enough.
Creta EX: Price and Position
As the base variant, the EX offers the most affordable way into the Creta range while retaining the SUV’s refined engine, comfortable ride and spacious cabin.
It typically pairs the petrol engine with a manual gearbox, focusing on value.

Interior and Features
The EX covers the essentials with a clean, well-built cabin and the Creta’s hallmark comfort, though it skips the touchscreen, sunroof and premium features of higher trims. For buyers prioritising the Creta’s space and refinement over gadgets, it works.
EX or Step Up?
If you mainly want the Creta’s badge, space and ride quality on a budget, the EX delivers. If features matter, the S or S+ are worth the stretch. National Automobiles helps buyers find the right balance.
