Hyundai is set to launch the new Creta N Line in India on March 11, 2024. With bookings currently open, the carmaker has revealed much about the sportier iteration of its hot-selling SUV including its design, interior and some of the features. The SUV will feature sportier looks both inside and out and is also expected to receive some mechanical updates to match the looks. Interestingly, while the standard Creta turbo-petrol is only offered with a DCT and in top-spec SX(O) trim, the Creta N Line will be offered with both a DCT and a 6-speed manual and in more than one variant.

As mentioned above, the Creta N Line will get the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol from the standard Creta with the power output of 158 bhp and 253 Nm expected to remain unchanged. Buyers can pick between a 6-speed manual – not available on the standard Creta Turbo, or a 7-speed DCT. Hyundai is expected to make some mechanical changes to the Creta N Line in the form of a stiffer suspension set-up, a revised exhaust to make the SUV sound sportier and tweaks to the steering rack to make the SUV more engaging to drive.
Expect all details to be revealed when the SUV is launched in India tomorrow.
