Hyundai is all set to energize the Indian SUV market with the upcoming launch of the Creta N Line, which is scheduled for release on 11th March 2024. With bookings now open for a down payment of just Rs 25,000, the anticipation is palpable. The Creta N Line joins Hyundai's performance lineup alongside the i20 N Line and Venue N Line promising to deliver a similar blend of sportiness and excitement.
Sporty Interiors and Exteriors of Hyundai Creta N Line
The Creta N Line's interiors have been thoughtfully designed to reflect a sense of modern athleticism. The cabin is adorned with all-black sporty interiors complemented by striking red inserts, metal accelerator and brake pedals, and subtle “N” badging on the gear knob, steering wheel, and premium leatherette seats, creating an exhilarating ambiance. The red interior ambient lighting further accentuates its sporty appeal.
On the outside, the Creta N Line stands out with its Thunder Blue exterior color scheme paired with a contrasting black roof and red accents. Its aggressive nature is enhanced by the sporty front grille, updated bumpers, red front brake calipers, and red side sill inserts. It rides on R18 alloy wheels that showcase the ‘N’ badge, giving it a more aggressive look than the regular Creta's 17-inch wheels. The dual-tip exhaust system and false splitter at the back give it a more aggressive look and sound.
Advanced Features and Safety
Inside, the Creta N Line is equipped with dual 10.25-inch display units for instrumentation and infotainment, two-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, a 360-degree surround camera, various driving modes, and a wireless charging system.
Safety is a top priority, with the Creta N Line offering 42 standard safety features and over 70 advanced safety features, including an ADAS package, hill control assist, electronic parking brake, and six airbags. Some of these advanced features will be exclusive to the top-spec variant.
Engine Specs and Pricing
Under the hood, the Creta N Line will continue to use the 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine from the regular Creta, producing 160 hp and 253 Nm of torque. It shares this engine with the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Alcazar, and Hyundai Verna. A 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission are the available gearbox options.
The Creta N Line is expected to be priced starting at Rs 17.50 lakh (ex-showroom), with the top-spec variant potentially reaching up to Rs 23.00 lakh. When it launches, it will go up against vehicles like the Volkswagen Taigun GT Line, Skoda Kushaq, and Kia Seltos GTX+ and X-Line and it is anticipated to be a very attractive option for anyone looking for a feature-rich and fast SUV.
