• Hyundai Creta N Line revealed ahead of March 11 launch. 
• Turbo-petrol engine to get manual gearbox in the N Line model. 
• Optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to be on offer as well. 
• Creta N Line will get sportier looks and tweaked mechanicals as well. 
• Expected to be priced from around Rs 17.5 lakh (ex-showroom). 

The 2024 Hyundai Creta N Line has been revealed in full and pre-launch bookings are underway. The sportier version of the 2024 Hyundai Creta is all set to be launched on March 11 and will be the third N Line model on our shores after the i20 and Venue. Hyundai, thankfully, has answered enthusiast’s prayers and has offered the manual gearbox with the turbo-petrol engine. 

Yes, you read that right. The 160PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with the upcoming Hyundai Creta N Line will be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission, perfect for driving enthusiasts who prefer to shift gears manually. In the standard car, this engine is offered only with the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, which will also be on offer in the Creta N Line.

Speaking of satisfying enthu-cutlets, the 2024 Hyundai Creta N Line will also get tweaks underneath its skin. That includes a stiffer suspension set up, a quicker steering rack and a throatier exhaust note, all aimed at making the driving experience more involving. We expect this to differentiate the Creta N Line even more from rivals that offer similar levels of performance. 

As for design updates, the Creta N Line gets a bespoke grille, tweaked bumpers at either ends, plenty of red highlights and a tasty-looking set of 18-inch alloys. On the inside, it will get a black cabin with plenty of red highlights and N-Line specific steering wheel and gearknob. Take a closer look at the 2024 Hyundai Creta N Line in our in-depth unveiling story. 

As for expected prices, we suspect Hyundai to offer the Creta N Line from around Rs 17.5 lakh (ex-showroom) as it’s being offered with a manual gearbox. It is also offering the turbo-petrol engine from a lower variant than the standard Creta (turbo-petrol limited to top-end variant). It will lock horns with the Kia Seltos GT Line and Volkswagen Taigun GT, while being a sportier alternative to the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor and Honda Elevate.
