Verdict
The Hyundai Creta Knight Edition is the third car in the Hyundai lineup to feature an all-black edition, following the Venue and Exter. For those who aren't aware, this isn't just a plain black color; every element is blacked out to make these cars stand out from the crowd. Additionally, Hyundai is the second company to use this approach, following Tata's Dark Edition. That said, the Creta is already a leader in the Indian automotive sector, and this new option will provide customers with yet another choice from the long list of variants.
