A 1st gen Creta owner checks out the 2024 N-line: His observations

We are still contemplating the Creta N-line alongside the Seltos. Will take a comprehensive TD to understand the dynamics and drive experience before taking the final call.

BHPian Col_Mehta recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Saw the car more closely today. The Shadow Grey looks absolutely gorgeous! The red lines look too loud to me, but my grandson loves it! The younger generation in our family doesn’t seem to mind that a lot. Really liked the front grill and the 18 inch alloys that make the car a lot desirable than the regular Creta. Somehow the car looks a lot bigger and butch and I have no hesitation to say that it’s the best looking car in the segment (just blacken the red accents).

One interesting observation - the all black cabin is dark, but doesn’t feel as claustrophobic and smaller as it does in the Seltos GT trim. Same goes for the pre FL turbo Creta with all black interior that I have driven quite extensively. Larger windows which lends an airy cabin sense could be the possible reason. Having said that, I’m still not a big fan of the cabin and prefer one with lighter theme. The center console, however, is still the biggest chink in its armour and remains our biggest gripe with the interior. It creaks and feels plain cheap.

The N steering wheel is smaller than the regular one and may look out of place in the first glance, but after a few minutes, it actually felt nice. It’s chunky and delightful to hold. The steering mounted buttons and paddle shifters feel more plush to use. Same goes for the gear knob, while the regular AT gear knob is our favourite, this one looks and feels quite good too.
