The redesigned bumper includes dual exhaust tips, while the connected LED tail lamp from the standard variant is retained.
The N Line Signature
This marks the third Hyundai model to receive the N Line treatment, following the i20 and the Venue. Renowned for their styling and performance enhancements, the N Line models incorporate sporty design elements and increased power. In the mid-size SUV segment, the Hyundai Creta N Line competes with rivals such as the Skoda Kushaq, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor, and others.

Market Outlook
