A new Knight Edition of Creta has been launched! Looks slick! Wonder where the waiting period will go now!
Always thought an all black option would have been great!

Ironically everything neat about this Knight Edition except for that ugly badge. Looks really cheap and cartoonish.

Tata nearing Hyundai to number 2 stop has got Hyundai thinking. Competition brings out the best for us consumer.

Expecting Mahindra to launch next !

The JC Road edition.

This must be a stop gap before a Creta facelift, so those who have already booked the Creta can be switched over to even more expensive Creta

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Dark edition or not, the alloy wheel design's got to be one of the worst. Overall design even though polarizing, eventually grows on you.

Desperate times? A car that already has a waiting period of almost 6-10 months isn’t desperate for anything! Demand for Creta has never been affected. The only desperation would be to manage the semi-conductor availability and meet the excessive demand.

I find nothing wrong in the alloy wheel design. In fact, it is one of the best available in the market. All black makes it look even better.

Looks are always subjective. Like I find Tata Nexon’s looks unbearable and can’t stand it’s monstrous back design. But then, everybody has his own choice and I would not like to offend anyone !

I was referring to another BHPian's take of Hyundai feeling the heat from TATA. Dark editions as far as I recall are not usually Hyundai's thing, but it is now a rage thanks to the competition. The decision to bring it at the end of current generation's life cycle is what I felt was a bit desperate.

It is however a wise choice to offer a dark edition to balance the options for the customer. As GTO says Variants & variations help sell cars.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Looks ARE subjective. While at first I found the Creta's look overdone, I find it a lot more likeable and mature now that it has grown on me. I think the alloy design of Alcazar looks a lot better. Again, subjective.

I'm not crazy about my car's rear design either. No bias in criticism for me.

That's something we both agree on

Whoever buys all black car in this scorching heatwave, I tip my fedora.
My white Creta interior burns just parked outdoors for more than 30m. I cannot imagine what black body panel will feel like to touch after same duration.

Time changes and how. In last 2-3 years, Tata has come up very strongly and become strong contender for number 3, threatening Hyundai for number 2 spot. Hyundai is copying Tata's Dark edition concept for sure. Felling really good for Tata.

This proves again - You keep doing great work, don't pay attention to what people say, others will follow you !

Hyundai introduced Sunroofs in Indian mass market cars with i20 and i10. They also brought several first in class features which the likes of Tatas and Marutis ‘copied’ or rather adopted for their cars. Like Sunroofs, Dark editions are also an in-thing these days. Dark editions are not known to be a Hyundai thing, similarly Sunroofs and even good cars are not known to be a Tata thing ! So when Tata starts offering sunroofs and better cars, would it be right to say that Tata is copying Hyundai by offering sunroofs and also copying Toyota as it has started offering better cars?

It would not be correct to say that Hyundai is copying Tata. If that be so, then Tata also copied Hyundai as they brought Sunroofs first in mass market cars. If that be so, then every other car manufacturer copied the first ever car manufacturer! If that be so, then every company would be accused of copying another company for coming out with white, red, black or blue colour!

It would be better to say that Hyundai pioneered Sunroofs in mass market and others followed. Tata pioneered the Dark editions and others are following!

Sunroofs are a feature. ´Blacked out’ is a gimmick. Copying features seems a fairer game than copying gimmicks.

What's up with the Knight logo looking much like a local beer label from a bottle that could cause days of a nasty hangover. Ironically for a blackened out car, it's going to cheaply stick out with such a prominent white silhouette around the lettering, looking like some snotty kid peeled it off his cricket bat and stuck it on the car... Label aesthetics next time please, hyundai!
