New Hyundai Creta 2026 S (O) Launched – Price, Features & Updates [Review]
2026 has arrived early for Hyundai fans. The New Hyundai Creta 2026 update has officially hit dealerships, bringing a premium refresh to its most popular “Value For Money” trim—the S Option (S(O)).
While the exterior retains its muscular stance, Hyundai has silently updated the cabin to offer a richer experience. If you are planning to book the Creta Diesel S(O), here is everything you need to know about the new changes.
What’s New in the 2026 Update?
The biggest change in the New Hyundai Creta 2026 S(O) variant is on the dashboard.
- Touch-Sensitive AC Panel: Gone are the physical buttons. The new model features a glossy, fully touch-sensitive control panel for the Dual-Zone Climate Control, giving the cabin a much cleaner and modern look.
- Adjustable Headrests: Unlike the previous EX/S trims, the S(O) now firmly includes adjustable headrests for rear passengers, enhancing safety and comfort.
Why S (O) is the Best VFM Variant
The S Option sits right in the sweet spot of the lineup, offering top-end features without the top-end price tag.
- Exterior: You get 17-inch Black Painted Alloy Wheels and the signature Connected LED DRLs and Tail Lamps.
- Tech: An 8-inch touchscreen with Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, plus a fully digital instrument cluster.
- Luxury: The massive Panoramic Sunroof and rear window sunshades make it feel like a segment-above car.
- Safety: Standard safety includes All 4 Disc Brakes, 6 Airbags, and TPMS.
Price Check (On-Road)
The New Hyundai Creta 2026 S (O) Diesel Manual commands a premium for these features.
- Ex-Showroom: ~₹ 15.51 Lakh
- On-Road (Est): ~₹ 18.52 Lakh
Verdict
With the addition of the touch AC panel, the Creta S (O) feels even more premium. If you want a diesel SUV that balances luxury features like a panoramic sunroof with practical tech, the New Hyundai Creta 2026 remains the segment leader.
