While the interiors are based on the regular Creta, the N Line gets black and red leatherette upholstery, along with red ambient lighting, N Line badging on the gear lever and steering wheel and lastly metal pedals.
Under the hood, the Hyundai Creta N Line packs a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol powertrain, with 157.5 bhp and 25.3 kgm of torque, paired to the 7-speed DCT. To make things interesting, there’s also the option of a six-speed manual. We likey! Like most N Line cars, the Creta N Line also gets a stiffer suspension setup, which we’ll be testing very soon.
In terms of equipment, the Creta N Line comes packing with a 10.25-inch blended screen setup, featuring in-built JioSaavn, about 148 voice-assisted commands for a hands-free experience, along with multi-language support, and the Bluelink connected car suite. It also gets dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, eight-step power adjustable and ventilated driver seat, level-two ADAS features such as forward collision warning, blind spot view monitor and collision assist, lane keeping assist, and lane departure warning among others.
