Hyundai Creta N Line: Releasing next month

Hyundai Creta N Line continues the tradition of offering a sportier look than the regular lineup. The front fascia of the SUV is marked by a new grille with N Line badging and a new bumper design with red inserts. The LED headlamp and DRL design language remains unchanged. Along the sides, the SUV rests on 18-inch alloys. The wheels are fixed with red brake callipers, keeping up with the N Line theme. The side skirts also receive red highlights. The rear end of the SUV gets a roof spoiler and a new design for the bumper. The red accents can be found on the rear skid plate as well.

While the automaker has not revealed the interior of the Hyundai Creta N Line yet, spy shots suggest that it will receive an all-black colour theme with red accents on the dashboard and upholstery. The steering wheel and front seats will sport the N Line branding. Hyundai has confirmed that the N Line variant of the Creta will get 42 safety features as standard along with 70 advanced features.

It will retain the Level 2 ADAS package from the regular Creta. This package includes features like Forward Collison Warning & Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Blind Spot Collison Warning & Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Driver Attention Warning, and more.

The Hyundai Creta N Line will also retain the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster from the regular lineup. Other features include a dual-zone climate control system, an air purifier, a Bose sound system, a 360-degree camera, an electronic parking brake, USB Type-C ports for the rear passengers, and more.

Things will remain unchanged under the hood, as the N Line variants of the Hyundai Creta will be powered by the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. This engine produces a maximum power output of 160hp and 253Nm of torque. It can be paired with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. The 6-speed manual gearbox has been made available specially for the N Line Creta.
