Creta N Line Launching Soon

Following the introduction of the updated Creta, Hyundai is set to unveil its sportier N Line version by mid-2024. Positioned to compete with the Kia Seltos’ GTX+ and X Line variants, the new Hyundai Creta N Line will be equipped with the 1.5L turbo petrol engine and will offer both the 7-speed DCT and 6-speed manual gearboxes. The engine is capable of delivering a claimed power of 160PS and 253Nm of torque. The N Line variant will feature distinctive ‘N Line’ elements, both inside and out, setting it apart from the regular Creta.

Creta EV In Early 2025

Hyundai is also in the process of testing an electric iteration of the Hyundai Creta, slated to go on sale in early 2025, with a potential debut towards the end of this year. Reports suggest that the Hyundai Creta EV will be equipped with a 45kWh battery pack sourced from LF Chem. While smaller than the anticipated battery options for the upcoming Maruti Suzuki eVX (48kWh and 60kWh), the Creta EV is expected to borrow its electric motor from the global-spec Kona EV.
