The new Creta brings again the choice of a punchy turbo-petrol engine, however sure misses in design and transmission decisions make us consider Hyundai is reserving them for the SUV’s N Line model

The 2024 Hyundai Creta has grow to be a section chief by way of efficiency. Along with the up to date design inside-out and all the brand new options, the facelifted compact SUV now will get the 160 PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine possibility as properly. However, not like its mechanical sibling, the Kia Seltos, the Hyundai Creta doesn’t supply any visible variations for the turbo-petrol model and has restricted it to the highest variant with a dual-clutch automated transmission solely. However, we really feel like Hyundai may give us extra variation for this punchy powertrain within the type of the Creta N Line.

What Makes Us Think So

There are a couple of causes as to why we expect the Creta N Line may lastly be heading our method. As talked about above, the facelifted Creta’s turbo-petrol engine has been launched with simply the 7-speed DCT transmission. However, this identical engine does get the selection of a 6-speed handbook with the Verna and Alcazar. That leads us to suppose these choices may very well be provided completely with the Creta N Line. 

• More Accessible

Another level to think about is that Hyundai is at present promoting the turbocharged petrol engine solely on the absolutely loaded SX (O) variant, priced at Rs 20 lakh. We therefore consider that the Creta N Line may supply the identical powertrain with extra variants of the SUV, as seen within the Venue and Venue N Line’s case.

• Design Differentiation

When the pre-facelift Creta was provided with the turbo-petrol engine possibility, it was differentiated by the colors of the cabin and the exhaust. However, this differentiation is lacking from the facelifted Creta’s turbo-petrol variant. The Creta N Line is prone to have some styling upgrades over the usual mannequin, together with the ‘N Line’ badges, sportier-looking alloy wheels with brake callipers, a blacked-out cabin and even twin exhaust ideas.

Lastly, Hyundai has already added the Creta SUV to its N Line portfolio in overseas markets. The Hyundai Creta N Line is presently offered in a couple of South American markets (though not within the India-spec avatar), making it much more doubtless that the carmaker will even lastly give us a style of the SUV’s sportier-looking iteration.

Powertrain Details

The 2024 Hyundai Creta N Line will get the identical 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (160 PS/ 253 Nm) as the usual mannequin, doubtless with each 6-speed MT and 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch automated transmission). Hyundai additionally provides the usual Creta with two extra engine choices, specs of which you’ll find in our detailed launch story. In the N Line model, it would get a barely totally different suspension setup for sharper dealing with to distinguish it farther from the common Creta.

Expected Launch And Price

The Hyundai Creta N Line may very well be launched within the coming months, with costs anticipated to start out at round Rs 17.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Its direct rival would be the Kia Seltos GTX+ and X-Line, whereas it will likely be a sportier-looking various to the likes of the Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, and MG Astor.
