The comparison of the Hyundai Creta N Line with the regular model shows the key highlights. In Hyundai’s language, N-Line stands for the performance-focused versions of their regular cars. The Creta has been a top seller for the brand, but with increased competition, Hyundai recently revealed a comprehensive facelift. The refreshed model impressively meets all the important criteria, demonstrating Hyundai’s dedication to innovation. However, the automaker isn’t stopping there. Just weeks after launching the updated version, Hyundai is preparing to introduce an even more dynamic model – the Hyundai Creta N-Line on March 11. Let us compare it with the regular trim.

Hyundai Creta N Line vs Regular Creta – Specs Comparison
The N Line version of the new Hyundai Creta will be offered with the sporty 1.5-litre turbo petrol direct injection engine which makes 160 hp and 253 Nm of peak power and torque. This is the same engine which powers the regular Creta and Verna too. However, the N Line trim will be offered with the option of either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox. Apart from that, it will have some additional elements like a sporty exhaust, a re-calibrated suspension setup, a tweaked steering, and perhaps a new alloy wheel design.

On the other hand, the regular Creta also offers this powertrain but with a sole 7-speed DCT gearbox. But it also comes with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 115 PS and 144 Nm, AND a 1.5-litre turbo diesel mill churning out 115 PS and 250 Nm of peak power and torque. The transmission options include a 6-speed manual, iVT (CVT), automatic and DCT options. Therefore, the N Line just offers the performance engine while the regular Creta takes all sorts of customers into consideration. In terms of pricing, it could bear a premium of around Rs 50,000 on the top trim of the regular Creta with the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine.

Design Comparison
From the outside, the overall design will remain identical. However, the N Line will come with a certain badging and tweaked components to set it apart from the regular model. This could include things like a new bumper, wider air inlets, slight tweaks to the grille area, 18-inch alloy wheels, a diffuser, etc. We don’t believe the headlamps or taillamps will be any different than the normal Creta.

Interior and Features
There won’t be any differences in terms of features on offer or the layout of the cabin and dashboard either. However, instead of the more family-friendly light-coloured upholstery and colour combination, we can expect an all-black theme. It will contrast well with red stichings at various places including seats, steering wheels, door panels and centre console.

Author’s Note
In essence, the N Line version of the Hyundai Creta will have enough distinctions in comparison to the regular model in terms of aesthetics. Minor changes will be available on the inside. But the performance and ride quality will see a slight boost due to the manual transmission option and a retuned suspension setup. For driving enthusiasts, a slight premium in the price will definitely be worth it. It won’t have any direct rivals. But it could compete against the top performance variants of the Kia Seltos, VW Taigun and Skoda Kushaq. Nevertheless, let us wait until the launch on March 11 to know more.
