Hyundai i20 N Line owner checks out the Creta N Line N10 DCT

The Creta N Line puts the C right in the CSUV. It's so small for how much it costs, around 26 lakhs on-road in Goa for this variant.

BHPian pepega recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

While waiting for my i20 N Line to get serviced, I checked out the Creta N Line. Aero gap in the front bumper: This is the N10 (top) DCT auto variant:

The car looks very good from the front. This will be a major selling point.

Aero gap in the front bumper:

Front grill. The front camera is tucked within the Hyundai logo.

Four front sensors, two on each side. H symbol DRLs, and LED projectors:

Moving onto the side looks.

New alloys and "sporty" red cladding make the N Line stand out:

Side cameras are on the ORVM:

Only the front driver side gets the request sensor. Not the passenger side. The boot also doesn't come with a request sensor, but it will open if you are standing nearby with the key (even if the car is locked). I hate this kind of cost-cutting at the top-end of the top-end.

Driver side:

Passenger side:

Closer look at the rear:

With the boot open:

Roof cladding should protect the sunscreen somewhat:

Exhaust:

Boot space seems a little small:

Moving onto the interiors.

The doors are hefty and close with a satisfying thud. I wonder how much thud engineering went into designing them:

Rear door has a privacy cover. Very nice feature:

Passenger side view of the interior:

Rear interior look:

There is Bose badging all over the cabin:

Steering wheel and driving position remind me a lot of my i20 N Line:

Gear knob is identical to the one in the i20 N Line. Everything else in this console is new and exclusive to the Creta:

Nice chunky buttons for the ventilated seats:

Some ADAS control buttons maybe?

Lots of charging ports:

AC controls have proper buttons:

Space in the rear feels cramped with my driving position. What did they do with all that extra length?

Rear Climate control doesn't seem to include an air purifier:

Three point seatbelt for the middle passenger is a must:

And finally, each Creta purchase comes with your own personal standee of Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone:

The Creta N Line puts the C right in the CSUV. It's so small for how much it costs, around 26 lakhs on-road in Goa for this variant. I guess the small size helps its sporty characteristics. But for this much money, I would want something larger in size. That would feel more VFM.

My final thoughts are that a sporty Creta automatic with 160 bhp shouldn't be unleashed on Indian roads. Considering that most cars in India are still running on 80-90 bhp, this monster will bully cars and create memes like never before. Personally, I am not mature enough to drive this responsibly.
