Hyundai has launched the much-awaited Creta N Line in India, adding a sportier variant to its popular Creta SUV lineup. The N Line version is available in two main variants: N8 and N10, each offering a manual (MT) and dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) option. Let’s delve into the details of its pricing, specifications, features, and competition.
Variant-wise Prices
Here’s a breakdown of the introductory ex-showroom prices for each variant of the Hyundai Creta N Line:
- N8 MT: Rs 16.82 lakh
- N8 DCT: Rs 18.32 lakh
- N10 MT: Rs 19.34 lakh
- N10 DCT: Rs 20.30 lakh
(DCT – dual-clutch automatic transmission)
Hyundai has priced the top-spec N10 DCT at a premium of Rs 30,000 over the regular Creta’s SX(O) variant. It’s worth noting that these prices are subject to revision in the future, potentially altering the price difference between the standard and N Line variants.
Performance and Engine Options
The Hyundai Creta N Line is powered by the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine found in the top variant of the standard Creta. It delivers 160 PS of power and 253 Nm of torque. Notably, the N Line version offers both a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DCT transmission, whereas the latter is available exclusively with the 7-speed DCT unit. The claimed fuel efficiency stands at 18 kmpl with the manual transmission and 18.2 kmpl with the DCT automatic gearbox.
