Hyundai India currently retails two N Line models in India - the i20 N Line and the Venue N Line. Both these models were introduced for the Indian market in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Hyundai has announced that these N Line models have been garnering significant sales as the company witnessed a total sales of over 10,000 units in 2023. Owing to the increasing demand of these models, Hyundai India now plans to launch more N Line models in the country.

Speaking about this, Tarun Garg, COO, Hyundai India, said, “N Line is a very niche product and we are happy with the numbers it has got us. In fact, there will be more N Line products that we will launch in India very soon and we are expecting sales to reach 15,000-20,000 units in the next few years." Hyundai has not disclosed the next N Line model but it is expected that the Korean automaker will expand its portfolio with a Creta N Line scheduled to be launched later this year. This variant will be built on the upcoming Creta facelift which is set to hit the market in the coming days.
Hyundai Creta N Line - Exterior and Interior Design
The upcoming Creta facelift has been teased ahead of its global debut and if we draw inspiration from the styling enhancements seen in current N Line models compared to their standard counterparts, it's likely that the Creta N Line will also follow a similar design theme. Visible design modifications in the Hyundai Creta N Line will include tweaks in the front bumper, grille and front chin with N Line-specific red accents combined with gloss black and faux-brushed aluminium elements. The Creta N Line is expected to feature a distinctive alloy wheel design, side skirts, N Line badges on the sides and redesigned rear bumper. Within its interiors, it is expected that it will feature an all-black interior theme, an N Line-specific gear lever and a steering wheel adorned with red stitching, among other details.
Hyundai Creta N Line - Powertrain
The upcoming Creta facelift is expected to be offered with three engine options which include a 1.5 litre turbo-petrol engine as well. This turbo-petrol engine is expected to be offered with the Creta N Line in the country. This 1.5 litre turbo-petrol engine is tuned to deliver a power output of 160 bhp and is expected to be paired to a 7-speed DCT gearbox. Additionally, it is likely that Hyundai will incorporate a sportier suspension setup, a more dynamic-sounding exhaust, and adjusted steering dynamics in the Creta N Line to align it with other N Line models.
