Hyundai Motor India has entered the new year with a bang as it has launched the highly-anticipated Creta SUV facelift for the Indian market today, on January 16. The Hyundai Creta has been a segment leader in the mid-size SUV segment since its inception in 2015. The 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift has been launched with a new exterior design, revamped interiors and a new 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine apart from the existing engine options.
As we reported earlier, Hyundai India might be working on introducing an N Line model of the new Creta facelift. The Korean manufacturer currently retails two N Line models in India - the i20 N Line and the Venue N Line. Hyundai India has announced these N Line models have experienced substantial sales success, with the company achieving a total sales figure surpassing 10,000 units in 2023. In response to the growing demand for these models, Hyundai India is now gearing up to introduce additional N Line models in the country.

The new 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine introduced with the 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift is capable of producing a power output of 160 bhp and 253 Nm of torque. Along with this new engine, the Creta N Line is expected to be equipped with a sportier suspension setup, a more dynamic-sounding exhaust and improved steering dynamics to align it with other Hyundai N Line models.
