Hyundai has introduced a new Lounge Edition for the Creta, Creta Electric and Alcazar, adding more rear-seat entertainment and cosmetic changes to their top-spec variants. The biggest addition is an 11.6-inch rear entertainment screen, while the Alcazar also gets a new five-seat configuration for the first time.
The Lounge Edition also brings a new Golden Bronze exterior colour, blacked-out exterior elements and an all-black cabin with silver accents. Prices start at ₹19.22 lakh for the Creta Lounge Edition.
Lounge Edition: Prices
The new edition commands a premium of up to ₹90,000 over the variants it is based on.
| Model | Lounge Edition | Standard variant | Premium |
| Creta King 1.5P CVT | ₹19.22 lakh | ₹18.69 lakh | ₹53,000 |
| Creta King 1.5D AT | ₹20.31 lakh | ₹19.78 lakh | ₹53,000 |
| Alcazar Signature 1.5D AT | ₹21.81 lakh | ₹20.91-21.10 lakh | ₹71,000-90,000 |
| Creta Electric Excellence LR | ₹24.34 lakh | ₹23.67 lakh | ₹67,000 |
The Creta Lounge Edition is available with the 1.5-litre petrol-CVT and 1.5-litre diesel-AT powertrains. The Creta Electric version is based on the Excellence LR 51.4kWh variant.
Rear-Seat Entertainment
The biggest functional upgrade is the new 11.6-inch rear-seat entertainment screen. It supports OTT streaming, phone mirroring and gaming, with additional applications available through a dedicated app store.
The three SUVs also get white ambient lighting as part of the Lounge Edition package.
New Exterior Treatment
The Lounge Edition introduces Golden Bronze as a new exterior colour, while existing colour options continue to be available.
Hyundai has also given several exterior elements a black finish:
- Blacked-out alloy wheels
- Front and rear skid plates
- ORVMs
- Roof-mounted spoiler
- Roof rails
- C-pillar garnish
Wheel sizes remain unchanged: 18-inch wheels on the Creta and Alcazar, and 17-inch units on the Creta Electric.
Black Interior and New Seat Design
Inside, all three models receive an all-black dashboard with silver-coloured inserts around the AC vents. The seats feature a new Lounge seat design pattern, while the headrest cushions carry Lounge embossing.
Other equipment remains identical to the respective standard variants on which the Lounge Edition is based.
Five-Seat Alcazar
The most significant change for the Alcazar is its new five-seat configuration. Until now, Hyundai’s three-row SUV has been offered in six- and seven-seat layouts.
The five-seat Lounge Edition is priced ₹90,000 higher than the seven-seat Signature variant and ₹71,000 higher than the six-seat Signature variant.

Final Take
The Lounge Edition primarily adds a more premium and entertainment-focused experience rather than mechanical upgrades. The rear entertainment screen, new styling elements, and five-seat Alcazar layout broaden the appeal of Hyundai’s SUVs, although buyers will have to decide whether these additions justify the premium over the standard top-spec variants.
