The new Hyundai Creta facelift, launched in the third week of January 2024, has already garnered over 51,000 bookings to date. The SUV model lineup offers seven trims and three engine options: a 160bhp, 1.5L turbo petrol, a 115bhp, 1.5L petrol, and a 116bhp, 1.5L diesel. The new turbo-petrol engine is exclusively available for the top-end SX (O) variant, priced at Rs 20 lakh.
The 1.5L petrol NA manual variants are priced between Rs 11 lakh and Rs 17.24 lakh, while the petrol-CVT combination is offered with the S (O), SX Tech, and SX (O) variants at Rs 15.82 lakh, Rs 17.45 lakh, and Rs 18.7 lakh, respectively. Diesel manual and automatic variants start at Rs 12.45 lakh and Rs 17.32 lakh, respectively. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom.
The South Korean automaker is set to expand the new Creta’s model lineup with the introduction of the sportier N Line version, expected to hit the market in February or March 2024. The Hyundai Creta N Line will feature N Line-specific cosmetic upgrades and a slightly tuned suspension setup. Leaked patent images reveal a differently designed front grille and bumper with a wider air inlet surrounded by faux brushed aluminum outlines. Additionally, it will boast new 18-inch alloy wheels, N Line branding on updated side skirts, and exhaust tips.
In terms of color options, the Creta N Line will be available in N Line-specific Matte Grey and Thunder Blue schemes, alongside the regular exterior shades. Inside the cabin, expect N Line badging, all-black theme, a new three-spoke steering wheel with an embossed N Line logo at the bottom, red inserts on the dashboard and distinctive upholstery with red contrast stitching.
Powering the sportier version of the new Creta will be the 160bhp, 1.5L turbo petrol engine mated to a DCT automatic gearbox, with the possibility of a manual transmission option for the same motor.
