Hyundai Motor India on Monday launched sport utility vehicle (SUV) Creta N Line. It introduced the mid-sized SUV Creta at a price between ₹16.82 lakh and ₹20.29 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The Creta N Line is powered by a 1.5-litre Turbo GDi Petrol engine with a six-speed manual transmission and seven-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).
Hyundai Motor India managing director and chief executive officer Un Soo Kim said that the Creta N Line will strengthen Hyundai's N Line portfolio and profoundly resonate with the ambitions of new-age Indian buyers capitalising on the popularity and legacy of the brand Creta.
“We are confident that with the launch of Hyundai Creta N Line, we will further elevate fun driving experiences and fulfil the requirements of thrill-seeking-adventure enthusiasts,” Kim added.
Further, he said that India is a focal market for Hyundai and the company's commitment to customers remains unwavering.
“As we look forward to the next decade of progress for Hyundai Motor India, we will make strategic investments towards increasing production capacity, setting up new manufacturing units, democratising EVs, introducing products and technologies matching customer and nation's objectives, and undertaking initiatives for the betterment of society,” Kim added.
Hyundai currently offers the N Line range on its two models -- i20 hatchback and compact SUV Venue. Through its N Line range of products the automaker aims to address a niche segment of car buyers.
In 2021 the company sold 3,196 units of N Line, in 2022 7,560 N Line and in 2023 9,718 N Line, according to a PTI report citing Hyundai Motor India COO Tarun Garg.
“We believe even if there's a niche, I think it's our responsibility to give the set of customers who are looking to have a very unique car for themselves, a very unique experience for themselves, a product,” he said as per the report.
