Hyundai CRETA N Line SUV revealed: Check features
Hyundai has revealed the CRETA N Line for the South American market. It is based on the current generation model available globally. The four-wheeler is a sporty iteration with specially tuned suspension and unique styling bits such as a blacked-out grille and 17-inch alloy wheels. The mid-sized SUV will likely make its way to India, albeit in a slightly tweaked form.
Why does this story matter?
Hyundai has received accolades for its N Line vehicles across the globe. The sporty i20 N Line was the first offering in the Indian market. The South Korean automaker now plans to add SUVs to the line-up as well. When launched, the CRETA N Line will rival the likes of Volkswagen Taigun GT and SKODA KUSHAQ Monte Carlo at our shores.
The SUV sport 17-inch alloy wheels and LED headlights
The Hyundai Creta N Line features a sculpted bonnet, a gloss black grille with N Line badging, a revised front bumper with a skid plate, wide air dams, and LED headlights with DRLs. On the sides, it is flanked by roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Split-type LED taillights and a shark-fin antenna is available on the rear side.
It will be offered with two engine options
We expect the Hyundai CRETA N Line to be fueled by a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that makes 118hp and a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol mill from the ALCAZAR that makes 157hp. Transmission duties will be handled by a 6-speed manual or a DCT gearbox.
The car will get N Line-branded upholstery and ventilated seats
The interiors of the CRETA N Line are under the wraps. We expect it to get a spacious cabin with an updated dashboard design, N Line-branded upholstery, a multifunctional steering wheel, automatic climate control, and ventilated seats. It will house a digital instrument cluster and a 10.24-inch infotainment system with the latest connectivity options. Passengers' safety will be ensured by multiple airbags.
Hyundai CRETA N Line: Pricing and availability
The pricing and availability details of the CRETA N Line will soon be declared by Hyundai. We expect the sporty SUV to carry a premium over the regular model, which starts at Rs. 10.44 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.
