In 2023, more than 10,000 Venue and i20 N Line models were sold in India; the Creta N Line is on the way.
There is a gradual increase in the retail sales of sporty Hyundai N Line variants in India. The Korean company debuted the N Line line in India in 2021 with the i20, while the Venue N Line, the second product in the line, was unveiled in 2022. According to Hyundai, the total sales of both models in 2023 exceeded 10,000 units. The company is currently aiming to expand the lineup of cars in its India N Line.
Tarun Garg, COO of Hyundai India, recently stated in a media interview: “We are pleased with the statistics N Line has brought us, considering it is a fairly specialized product. We have more N Line goods coming soon to India, and we anticipate selling between 15,000 and 20,000 units over the next few years.”
Hyundai has not yet revealed the N Line vehicle that will come after, but we can be sure that the company will be making even more money off of the well-liked Creta SUV, which will get an N Line version later this year. The upcoming Creta makeover, which will go on sale soon, will serve as the foundation for the Creta N Line.
Hyundai Creta N Line: Outside and Inside
Ahead of its worldwide release, the Creta makeover was recently hinted at. Based on the style differences between the present N Line vehicles and their conventional siblings, one may anticipate that the Creta N Line will have a similar aesthetic.
Anticipate subtle modifications to the front chin, grille, and bumper, along with gloss black and faux-brushed aluminum embellishments unique to the N Line. Along with side skirts, N Line logos on the flanks, and a unique alloy wheel design, the rear bumper will also receive cosmetic changes. Expect an all-black interior theme, a red-stitched steering wheel and gear lever exclusive to the N Line, and more on the inside.
Hyundai Creta N Line’s Anticipated Engine
As we recently reported, the new 1.5-liter, 160-horsepower turbo-petrol engine will replace the previous 1.4-liter engine in the lineup of three engine options for the Creta facelift.
With a 7-speed DCT transmission, this engine choice will probably also be available for the N Line variant. Hyundai will probably offer a sportier suspension system, a sportier-sounding exhaust, and modified steering dynamics as with other N Line models, even if we do not anticipate any changes to the engine output.
Future Hyundai SUV releases
The facelifted Creta will be Hyundai’s first major release this year, followed by the Creta N Line. This year, the Alcazar is also slated for a facelift, and in 2024, India may see the facelifted Tucson that was unveiled globally last year.
