Hyundai has set the Indian car market abuzz with the leaked images of its upcoming Creta N Line. The new Creta N Line is a sportier version of the highly popular Creta SUV, catering to a market segment that want something unique to drive without losing everyday practicality. While the official launch is planned for 11th March, these leaked images offer a glimpse into what Hyundai has in store for India.
The leaked images showcase a Creta N Line that boasts a more aggressive design compared to its standard counterpart. The front fascia features a redesigned grille with N Line signature elements, flanked by new, sharper headlights that lend the SUV a more focused look. The redesigned front bumper incorporates prominent air intakes, hinting at the enhanced performance capabilities lurking beneath the hood.
The side profile of the Creta N Line now has all new 17-inch alloy wheels with a sporty design. The red brake calipers peeks through the alloys. The leaked images also reveal subtle red accents on the side skirts, adding a touch of sportiness to the overall design.
The rear of the Creta N Line receives a makeover as well. The taillights appear to be identical to the standard Creta, but a new diffuser element integrated into the rear bumper adds a touch of sporty flair. A discreet N Line badge on the tailgate completes the transformation.
While the leaked images primarily focus on the exterior, they do offer a few glimpses of the Creta N Line’s interior. The cabin appears to adopt a black theme, likely accentuated with red stitching and N Line logos on the seats and steering wheel. These design cues are consistent with Hyundai’s N Line philosophy, creating an interior environment that is both sporty and easy to maintain.
Hyundai has yet to officially reveal the engine specifications for the Creta N Line. However, based on speculations and reports, the Creta N Line is expected to be powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine. This engine is likely to be tuned to deliver more power and torque compared to the standard Creta, offering a more exhilarating driving experience.
The leaked information suggests that the Creta N Line will be offered in two variants: N8 and N10. While the exact details of these variants remain unknown, it is likely that they will differ in terms of equipment levels and performance specifications. The N8 variant will replicate the features of regular Creta SX variant while the N10 will replicate the SX(O).
The Hyundai Creta N Line has the potential to be a game-changer in the Indian market for compact SUVs. With its sporty design, performance-oriented features, and likely competitive pricing, the Creta N Line is certain to attract a new generation of drivers who seek a blend of practicality and driving thrills.
The official launch of the Creta N Line will happen on the 11th March of 2024, and it will be interesting to see how Hyundai prices and positions this exciting new offering in the Indian car market. Speculations suggest a Rs. 60,000 premium for the N-Line trim, over the current top-end Creta variants.
