On the outside, there are distinct elements to highlight its performance credentials and set it apart from the regular model. This includes an N Line-specific sporty front grille with an N Line emblem and a new front bumper design with red inserts. Apart from that, the N Line trim also gets all-new 18-inch alloy wheels with sporty red front brake callipers and red inserts on the side sill. Furthermore, there is a new skid plate with red inserts, and a unique N emblem on the front, side and rear to accentuate its sportiness. All other aspects like the LED taillamp bar, LED headlamps, side profile, etc will remain identical to the non-N Line avatar.

Safety
Yet another area where the Korean automaker has been actively working on is safety. Hyundai announced a few months ago that all models of all its cars across the board will offer 6 airbags as standard. The Creta N Line will be no different. It will have 42 standard safety features including 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic parking brake with auto hold, Hill Assist Control (HAC) and 70+ advanced safety features. Additionally, the convenience, tech and connectivity features will be similar to the regular version too. There will also likely be an all-black interior theme with red stitching or piping for the upholstery.

Specs
Hyundai will offer the N Line variant of the new Creta with the sporty 1.5-litre turbo petrol direct injection engine, delivering 160 hp and 253 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine, which also powers the regular Creta and Verna, will be available with the choice of either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox in the N Line trim. Note that since N Line represents a vehicle for driving enthusiasts, it will get a recalibrated steering, exhaust and suspension setup. However, there won’t be the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol or 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine on offer.
