Hyundai Creta N Line Exterior Design Details
According to the company, this new model draws its inspiration from the WRC (World Rally Championship). In terms of design updates, the new Creta N Line gets a brand-new front fascia with the main highlight being a sporty front grille with N Line emblem and a new front bumper design with red inserts. It continues to boast the new dual LED headlights and the connected LED DRL on the front. It also gets a silver hexagonal element on the lower front bumper to add to the sporty appearance.
Coming to the side profile of the Hyundai Creta N Line, the car continues to boast the same silhouette as the outgoing model. However, it now gets a brand-new, more aggressive-looking set of machined alloy wheels.
To add to the sporty appeal of the SUV, Hyundai will provide the new Creta N Line with red front and rear brake calipers and red inserts on the side sill. Meanwhile, the new Creta N Line on the rear will get a sporty-looking skid plate with red inserts and a more aggressive diffuser. Additionally, the SUV will also get sporty twin-tip exhausts, which are a signature element of all the N Line models in the lineup.

Coming to the interior of the new Creta N Line, the model will come equipped with a similar design and layout as the standard Creta.

This means that it will continue to get the same 10.25-inch dual displays, of which the one on the left is the touchscreen infotainment screen and the one on the right is the digital instrument gauge cluster. It will also get the signature N Line steering wheel, which gets a three-spoke design and looks a lot more sporty than the standard steering wheel, with brushed silver elements.
