Creta EX vs S: Hyundai no longer sells the S, so today the EX, from ₹12,06,700 ex-showroom for the 1.5 MPi Petrol 6-speed MT as on 1 November 2026, leads on to the EX(O) and S(O) among the current Creta variants. The S was last listed at ₹13,07,016 to ₹14,48,261 (as on 7 October 2025, Chennai). When both were on sale, in July 2025, it had 17 items the EX lacked, among them a rear camera, quad-beam LED headlamps, cruise control and a rear wiper and washer.

Creta EX vs S price: EX today, S last listed

The S was last listed with the same two engines and manual gearbox as the EX. Its prices and today's EX prices are of different dates and cities, so no gap is worked out between them. The EX itself costs ₹1,16,000 more than the E with the same engine (E against EX).

**Each engine and gearbox the S was last listed with, beside today's EX with the same engine and gearbox where Hyundai sells one.** Solid paint, no edition. The S's price is its last listed ex-showroom price, as on its own date and in its own city; today's EX is ex-showroom as on 1 Nov 2026 and on road in Delhi. The two are prices of different dates, so no gap is worked out.

The on road figure adds Delhi road tax, registration and fees, the MCD parking fee, TCS at 1% because the ex-showroom price is above ₹10,00,000, insurance (three-year third party and one-year own damage on an insured value of 95% of ex-showroom at the zone A rate, with personal accident cover and GST) and a FASTag to the ex-showroom price. It excludes a loan's hypothecation fee, accessories, extended warranty and handling charges.

What the S added over the EX

Equipment as both trims were listed in July 2025, item for item. Much of it shows from outside: the S's 16-inch dual-tone styled steel wheels, quad-beam LED headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, silver roof rails and a dark chrome grille set it apart from the EX.

If none of these matters, the EX keeps the same engines for less. The S's own step up was the SX, which today costs ₹15,04,400 (S against SX).
