What the Lounge Edition Adds
The Lounge Edition focuses on rear-seat comfort. Its highlight is an 11.6-inch rear-seat entertainment system, letting rear passengers watch content on long trips. In addition, it gets an exclusive Golden Bronze paint finish that sets it apart from other Creta Electric versions. This HC version also includes a 7.4 kW home wall box charger and a portable charging cable.
Hyundai Creta Electric Lounge Edition HC Features
Beyond the Lounge extras, it keeps every Excellence LR feature. It gets dual 10.25-inch curved screens, an 8-speaker Bose system and a voice-enabled panoramic sunroof. Moreover, 8-way powered, ventilated front seats with driver memory, a digital key and V2L add comfort and convenience. For safety, it offers 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera and Level 2 ADAS with 20 features.
Road Tax: An Important Cost to Know
In Karnataka, EVs priced under Rs 25 lakh pay no road tax, while costlier EVs pay 10%. At Rs 25.07 lakh, the Lounge Edition HC crosses that line by just Rs 7,000. As a result, it pays about Rs 2.5 lakh in road tax. In comparison, the non-HC Lounge Edition at Rs 24.34 lakh pays none, making it about Rs 3.3 lakh cheaper on-road in Bengaluru.

For Bengaluru buyers, the non-HC Lounge Edition is far better value. Buying it and adding a home charger separately will likely cost much less than the extra Rs 2.5 lakh in road tax. However, in states where road tax rules differ, the HC version may make more sense. Alternatively, the Excellence LR HC includes a home charger for Rs 24.40 lakh, staying under the tax threshold.
