The Hyundai Creta emerged as the brand’s top-selling model in March 2025, further cementing its dominance in the compact SUV segment. During the fourth quarter of FY 2024–25 (January to March), Hyundai moved 52,898 units of the Creta. High-end ICE trims accounted for nearly a quarter of those sales, while the new Creta EV was responsible for over 70% of Hyundai’s total electric vehicle deliveries that quarter. Demand skewed towards well-equipped models, with close to 69% of buyers opting for sunroof variants and 38% choosing connected tech-equipped versions. Capping off the fiscal year, the Creta posted record-breaking figures with approximately 1.95 lakh units sold – a 20% year-on-year growth – earning it the title of India’s third best-selling passenger vehicle for FY25. The price of the Creta ICE begins at Rs 11.11 lakh, while the EV variant retails for a starting price of Rs 17.99 lakh. Both mentioned prices are ex-showroom.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-alcazar-now-gets-wireless-android-auto-apple-carplay-upgrade-with-new-adapter-120305/">Hyundai Alcazar Now Gets Wireless Android Auto &amp; Apple CarPlay Upgrade with New Adapter</a>Speaking on the milestone, Tarun Garg, Whole-Time Director and Chief Operating Officer, Hyundai Motor India Ltd., said: 'The Hyundai CRETA continues to set new benchmarks in India’s automotive landscape.

Hyundai Creta SUV Emerges as India's Best-Selling Model in March 2025

Capping off the fiscal year, the Hyundai Creta posted record-breaking figures with approximately 1.95 lakh units sold – a 20% year-on-year growth.

The Hyundai Creta electric&nbsp;will go on sale in India on January 17, 2025,&nbsp;with several features that distinguish it from the hot-selling ICE version, priced at Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom). Here's a detailed comparison between the electric and ICE models, covering exterior and interior aspects.

<img alt="Hyundai Creta jpg" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/Hyundai-Creta.jpg" width="1280" />

<h2>Hyundai Creta Electric vs Regular Model: Exterior</h2>

The silhouette of the Creta EV closely mirrors that of the ICE variant, but there are several&nbsp;key changes that lend it a distinct character. For instance, the large, rectangular blacked-out grille has been swapped for a pixelated-pattern design, giving the front a more distinct EV-inspired appearance. There is a charging flap at the center of the EV’s grille, adorned with the ‘Hyundai’ logo, and the front bumper includes active air flaps that enhance aerodynamics and boost overall efficiency. However, the signature inverted L-shaped connected LED DRLs and headlights remain unchanged.&nbsp;

On the sides, the SUV stands out with an all-black roof,&nbsp;pillars, and ORVMs. Like the standard Creta, the upcoming electric version features 17-inch alloys,&nbsp;but these are designed for improved aerodynamics. The addition of low-rolling resistance tyres enhances battery efficiency. At the rear, the updates are minimal, including a subtly revised bumper.

<h2>Hyundai Creta Electric vs Regular Model: Interior</h2>

<h2><img alt="Hyundai Creta Electric Interior" height="720" src="/uploads/2025/01/Hyundai-creta-electric-interior.jpg" width="1280" /></h2>

Though the dashboard layout is largely unchanged between the two models,&nbsp;the Creta Electric sets itself apart with a stylish black-and-white colour scheme,&nbsp;replacing the grey-and-white theme seen in the standard Creta.&nbsp;The steering wheel has a 3-spoke design, instead of the traditional 4-spoke one.&nbsp;Compared to its standard sibling, the Creta Electric offers a clean, modern layout with seat ventilation controls, a drive mode dial, cupholders, and a drive selector behind the steering wheel for easy access.

<img alt="2024 HYUNDAI CRETA WEB 3 jpg" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/01/2024-HYUNDAI-CRETA-WEB-3.jpg" width="1280" />

The Creta EV and ICE models have a touch-enabled control&nbsp;panel for the air conditioner and vents, and two integrated screens. While the ICE edition&nbsp;has a soft amber glow, the Creta EV stands out with its eye-catching purple ambient lighting.&nbsp;However, both models feature dual-tone seat fabric, center armrests&nbsp;for both front and rear seats, and ventilated front seats for added comfort.&nbsp;They also share features such as an 8-speaker Bose sound system, two 10.25-inch screens&nbsp;(one for infotainment and one for instrumentation),&nbsp;an 8-way powered driver's seat, and a panoramic sunroof.&nbsp;However, the Creta Electric introduces unique features like Electric Boss Mode, and a vehicle-to-load (V2L), which are not found in the regular Creta.

Hyundai Creta Electric vs Regular Model: What's Different?

The Hyundai Creta electric has several unique features like a digital key, an in-car payment system, and a new 3-spoke steering wheel.

Hyundai is set to launch the electric Creta&nbsp;on January 17 at the Bharat Mobility Expo. The electric SUV will build on the strong legacy of the internal combustion engine (ICE) Creta, which currently starts at Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom).&nbsp;It will strengthen Creta’s position in the market, catering to diverse driving options. The electric variant is set to hit production lines by the end of 2024, with an ambitious target of 24,000 units annually.&nbsp;It is expected to be priced between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom), and capture a significant share of the EV market. In terms of market rivalry, the SUV will rival the likes of the MG ZS EV, the Tata Curvv EV, and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. Read on to know more about the upcoming electric version of the Creta.

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV: Design and Features</h2>

Spy shots of the electric Creta have revealed that electric Creta will closely resemble its ICE sibling, with elements like the headlight and taillight configurations. However, it will stand out with revised bumpers, a closed-off grille, and aerodynamic 17-inch alloy wheels.&nbsp;Inside, the electrified SUV will feature a familiar twin-screen layout for the infotainment&nbsp;and instrument cluster, albeit with updated software and additional features.&nbsp;

While the SUV will retain physical controls for ease of use,&nbsp;certain elements like the HVAC controls will be sourced from the new Alcazar. However, the e-SUV will separate itself with a drive selector controller,&nbsp;a redesigned center console, and a three-spoke steering wheel.

In terms of safety, the Hyundai Creta EV is expected to be well-equipped&nbsp;with a range of advanced features like a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS),&nbsp;six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC),&nbsp;ISOFIX mounts for child seats,&nbsp;a 360-degree surround camera and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Hyundai Creta EV to Launch in India on January 17

The upcoming Hyundai Creta EV will compete against the Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, and the Mahindra XUV400.

Ahead of its global debut in 2024, a fresh set of spy shots showing the interior of the Hyundai Creta EV has&nbsp;surfaced online. Modelled on the lines of the Kona EV sold globally, the Creta EV's interior features a twin-screen setup for the infotainment and instrumentation. There&nbsp;is also an all-new, three-spoke steering wheel with a different-looking logo. Speaking of which, the drive selector lever is expected to be mounted on the right side of the steering wheel column. We also expect a host of physical controls, a reworked centre console,&nbsp;a redesigned dashboard, a panoramic sunroof,&nbsp;ventillated front seats, and wireless charging.&nbsp;As far as safety goes, the Hyundai Creta EV will likely offer six airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic stability control&nbsp;(ESC), ISOFIX mounts, a 360-degree surround camera, and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

On the outside, the Hyundai Creta EV – <a href="http://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-ev-spotted-testing-ahead-of-india-launch-shows-aero-wheels-connected-led-taillamps-and-more-116668/">first&nbsp;spotted&nbsp;by us</a>&nbsp;–&nbsp;is expected to be nearly identical to the internal combustion engine-powered Creta. However, it&nbsp;will sport a few EV-specific design elements, including a closed-off grille with a front camera, revised front and rear bumpers, and a new pair of&nbsp;aero-optimised&nbsp;alloy wheels. It will also have a front-fender-mounted charging port.&nbsp;

<img alt="Hyundai Creta EV Interior Spy Shot" src="/uploads/2024/04/Hyundai-Creta-EV-interior.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" />

Other bits&nbsp;– quad beam LED headlamps with new LED daytime running lights,&nbsp;a full-width LED light bar with connected&nbsp;LED taillamps, and LED sequential turn signals&nbsp;– will be carried over from the regular Creta.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV: Powertrain</h2>

The Hyundai Creta EV's technical specifications are yet to be revealed; however,&nbsp;market&nbsp;reports suggest&nbsp;that Hyundai's new electric car&nbsp;will run on a 55–60kWh battery pack, likely to offer a range of around 550 kilometres on a single charge. Moreover, the EV&nbsp;could come with fast-charging technologies.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV: India Launch</h2>

After its global&nbsp;debut in late 2024, the&nbsp;Hyundai Creta EV will&nbsp;likely go on sale&nbsp;in India in 2025. Price-wise, it&nbsp;could fall&nbsp;between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 30 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). Once launched, it will compete with the MG ZS EV, the Mahindra XUV400, and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki eVX.&nbsp;Hyundai's electric car lineup in India&nbsp;comprises&nbsp;the Kona EV and the&nbsp;Ioniq 5 – which <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-ioniq-5-ev-gets-new-exterior-and-interior-colour-options-116744/">recently received new exterior and interior colour</a> options.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Other factors like dealership, location, and stock availability may also affect the same.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Creta SUV: Design Language and Variants</h2>

The 'Sensuous Sportiness' global&nbsp;design language of Hyundai can be seen in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2024-hyundai-creta-review-sands-of-time-115877/">the facelifted&nbsp;Creta</a>.

The overall dimensions&nbsp;of the Creta&nbsp;are 4,330mm in length, 1,790mm in width, and 1,635mm in height. Along with a 2,610mm wheelbase, it has 190mm of ground clearance.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-variants-explained-e-s-sx-or-n-line-which-one-should-you-pick-116441/">For the 2024 iteration of the SUV, there are seven variants on offer: E, EX, S, S (O), SX, SX Tech, and SX (O).</a> They come decked out&nbsp;in six monotone&nbsp;and a single&nbsp;dual-tone paint shades.

<h2>Hyundai Creta SUV: Under the Bonnet</h2>

In terms of mechanical specifications, the&nbsp;Creta comes with three engine options: a 1.5-litre normally aspirated (NA) petrol engine, a 1.5-litre diesel engine, and a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit. The first two units, which produce 250Nm/114bhp and 144Nm/113bhp, respectively,&nbsp;were&nbsp;updated to meet the more stringent BS6 Phase II emission requirements. The new turbo GDi petrol engine&nbsp;generates 158bhp of maximum power and 253Nm of peak torque. Moving on, there are four gearbox options available: a six-speed manual, an IVT, a standard&nbsp;seven-speed DCT, and a six-speed automatic.

<h2>Hyundai Creta SUV: Interior and Safety Suite</h2>

The cabin of the SUV&nbsp;has been extensively modified as well.&nbsp;As soon as you step inside, the completely redesigned dashboard with its integrated 10.25-inch infotainment screen and 10.25-inch multi-display digital cluster will catch your attention.&nbsp;The controls&nbsp;for the new dual-zone&nbsp;automatic climate control are located on the revised centre&nbsp;console. In addition, the dashboard has new aircon&nbsp;vents. The Bose premium sound system with eight speakers, power seats, a 360-degree camera,&nbsp;a flat-bottom steering wheel, ambient lighting, surround view&nbsp;and blind spot view monitors, a leatherette-wrapped gear shifter,&nbsp;wireless phone charging, voice-activated panoramic sunroof, and front-row ventilated seats&nbsp;are several other&nbsp;features offered with the facelift.

Hyundai Creta SUV Waiting Period Reaches up to 7 Months in India

In terms of mechanical specifications, the 2024 Hyundai Creta comes with three engine options: a 1.5-litre normally aspirated (NA) petrol engine, a 1.5-litre diesel engine, and a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit.

It's already known that Hyundai is readying the all-electric version of the Creta SUV, which will likely go on sale&nbsp;in India in 2025. Concerning the model in question, we recently reported about the spy shots of the EV featuring new alloy wheels and connected LED tail-lamps,&nbsp;and&nbsp;now the fresh spy image has emerged&nbsp;offering a glimpse into the changes made to the car's front end. Though completely disguised, the&nbsp;test mule spotted in&nbsp;South Korea gives us a look at a&nbsp;blanked-off grille as well as&nbsp;a pair of new 17-inch aero-optimised wheels. Also expected on the production-spec Creta is the revised positioning of the Hyundai logo and front-fender-mounted charging port.&nbsp;Other bits&nbsp;– quad beam LED headlamps with new LED daytime running lights,&nbsp;a full-width LED light bar with connected&nbsp;LED taillamps, and LED sequential turn signals&nbsp;– will be carried over from the regular Creta. All in all, albeit based on the facelifted version of the Creta, the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV will look different from the internal combustion engine-powered SUV.

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV: Interior</h2>

While the interior of the Creta EV is not visible here, <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-ev-interior-spotted-in-india-shows-new-instrument-cluster-dual-tone-cabin-and-more-113896/">the previous set of spy shots </a>shows a dual-tone interior theme, dual displays, a four-spoke steering wheel, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, an electric parking brake, an armrest, a rotary dial for drive and traction modes, an engine start-stop switch, and two pedals in the driver's footwell. Other bits expected include&nbsp;dual-zone climate control, ventillated front seats, a smart panoramic sunroof, an 8-way power adjustable driver seat, and wireless charging.&nbsp;

Safety-wise, the electric vehicle will likely offer six airbags,&nbsp;a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic stability control (ESC), ISOFIX mounts,&nbsp;a 360-degree surround camera, and Level 2 ADAS features.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV: Powertrain</h2>

The Hyundai Creta EV's technical specifications are yet to be revealed; however,&nbsp;market&nbsp;reports suggest&nbsp;that Hyundai's new electric car&nbsp;will run on a 55–60kWh battery pack, likely to have a range of around 550 kilometres on a single charge. Moreover, the EV&nbsp;could come with fast-charging technologies enabling users to&nbsp;quickly charge their vehicles.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV: Price, Rivals</h2>

Price-wise, the&nbsp;Hyundai Creta EV could fall&nbsp;between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 30 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

Hyundai Creta EV Spotted Testing in South Korea, Shows 5-spoke Aero Wheels, Closed-off Grille Design and More

The upcoming Hyundai Creta EV will be based on the facelifted version of the Creta SUV, launched on January 16 this year.

If you are in the market for a sensible, feature-loaded family SUV, the Hyundai Creta is likely to be high on your list of options. However, if you are a petrolhead or an enthusiast, the newly launched Creta N Line might pique your interest. However, does the new Creta N Line offer enough to convince you to choose it over the <a href="https://autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2024-hyundai-creta-review-sands-of-time-115877/">Creta’s regular turbo variants</a>? That's precisely what we will unpack in this first impressions review. So, let's get going...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyf_rBHocHA

<h2>Hyundai Creta N Line Review: Design &amp; Features</h2>

One of the biggest distinguishing factors between the N Line range of cars and the regular versions is design. Let's begin with the front, which is also my favourite aspect of the Creta N Line's design. The grille now sits lower, with a striking one-piece DRL strip dominating the entire upper half. Now, in my opinion, this particular section of the front end exhibits Range Rover Sport vibes and looks pretty cool. Moreover, there are N Line badges at the front, side, and rear to remind you that it's not the regular Creta. While the side angle of the N Line is similar to the regular model, the wheels are not, for the former gets N Line-specific 18-inch alloy wheels, which give it a breath of fresh air. Plus, there are contrasting red accents throughout the entire length of the car, converging at the rear diffuser. The rear of the car, on the other hand, features three main changes in comparison to that of the regular version – a double-stacked rear spoiler, chrome-plated dual-exhaust tips, and, as mentioned, a rear diffuser. Now, overall, the design of the Hyundai Creta N Line is extremely eye-catching. I have been kind of on the fence about the design of the recently launched Creta facelift, but I think that the new N Line is the most handsome Creta variant to date.

<img alt="Hyundai Creta N Line Exterior Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/Hyundai-Creta-N-Line-Exterior-Rear.jpg" width="1280" />

Inside, the Hyundai Creta N Line gets similar treatment to that of other N Line models. This means a completely blacked-out interior with red accents and N Line badges on the seats and gear lever, along with an N Line-specific steering wheel and gear lever. The chunky, smaller steering wheel and stubbier gear lever feel sportier to hold and give you better leverage when driving enthusiastically. In terms of features, however, things are the same as the regular Hyundai Creta.

<img alt="Hyundai Creta N Line Dashboard" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/Hyundai-Creta-N-Line-Dashboard.jpg" width="1280" />

This means a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and infotainment system combination, panoramic sunroof, Bose audio system with integrated Jio Saavn app, ventilated front seats, dual-zone AC, and so on. It's worth noting that the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-variants-explained-e-s-sx-or-n-line-which-one-should-you-pick-116441/">N10 version we tested is based on the Creta SX(O) version, while the N8 is based on the S(O) version</a>.

<h2>Hyundai Creta N Line Review: Performance</h2>

The whole idea of an <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/hyundai-i20-n-line-review-first-drive-110023/">N Line variant</a> is to inject an extra dose of excitement into driving compared to the regular version, and the Creta N Line does it to an extent. I mean, it does have a bit more zest to its performance, but the transformation isn't as drastic as one would expect from a vehicle wearing the N badge, especially in terms of engine. Hyundai seems to have missed the opportunity to position the Creta N Line as the flagship model of the range, which kind of left me a bit disappointed. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, which makes 160bhp and 253Nm of peak torque. While the unit offers loads of grunt propelling the vehicle off the line and continues to pull progressively to the red line, it falls flat rather quickly once you enter the second half of the rev range. 

<img alt="Hyundai Creta N Line Action Side" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/03/Hyundai-Creta-N-Line-Action-Side.jpg" width="1280" />

Mash the throttle pedal above 4,000rpm on the highway, and the car surges forward, but it doesn't excite or overwhelm you. What really adds to the excitement is the quick-shifting 7-speed DCT, which can also be operated via paddle shifters. The gear ratios are spaced out well, and the DCT always tries its best to keep you in the powerband. The Hyundai Creta N Line is also the only model in the range which offers customers the choice of a 6-speed manual gearbox with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. Due to a lack of time during the test, we couldn't test the manual transmission properly. That said, it was clear in the limited time we tested it that its gear shifts are light and direct, and the clutch is equally easy to use. Furthermore, the sensation of manually shifting gears in a performance-oriented car adds an extra layer of satisfaction.

<h2>Hyundai Creta N Line Review: Handling</h2>

While the performance transformation of the Creta N Line is not overwhelming, its handling...well, let's just that the N Line magic is conspicuously apparent in the Creta N Line's handling. The most notable improvement lies in the tuned steering, which now feels better weighted and offers superior feedback. it not only makes driving more enjoyable but also instils confidence while pushing the vehicle into corners. Hyundai has also made significant changes to its suspension setup. The Creta Hyundai N Line feels considerably stiffer than the regular Creta but not overbearingly so. It stays planted around corners and remains pliant over bad roads. During the test, we drove it over a mix of highways, single-lane roads, and twisty bi-lanes, and it took it all in its stride and never felt out of its element.

<h2>Hyundai Creta N Line Review: Verdict</h2>

So, what’s my verdict on the Hyundai Creta N Line? Well, I began this review thinking that I'd focus on this sporty SUV’s excellent performance. However, by the end of it, I find myself smitten by its striking aesthetics. Yes, it’s more fun to drive and responsive compared to the regular version, but if I had to pick the Creta N Line over the regular version, I'd do it not because of its performance but because of its styling upgrades. This, however, might cause a problem for Hyundai, for those expecting better performance from the package might find themselves less impressed despite its edgy styling.

Hyundai Creta N Line First Drive Review: What Makes This Sporty SUV Special?

Hyundai Motor India has launched its flagship N Line model in India, the Creta N Line. Similar to the i20 and Venue N Line, it gets a host of styling and mechanical upgrades. So, is this now the best version of the Hyundai Creta to date?

The Hyundai Creta N Line, the sportier version of the Creta, has arrived on our market with significant cosmetic changes, a retuned suspension setup,&nbsp;and mechanical upgrades. This is the Korean brand's third performance-oriented N Line model after the i20 N Line and the Venue N Line. While the Creta N Line was launched earlier this week, Hyundai says the i20 N Line and the Venue N Line make up over 20 per cent of the company's&nbsp;overall turbo-petrol powertrain sales. Ever since the&nbsp;launch of the i20 N Line in September 2021, and the Venue N Line the following year, the cumulative sales of both N Line models have surpassed the 22,000-unit sales mark in the country. Furthermore, almost 82 per cent of N Line buyers would rather opt for the top-spec variant, according to Tarun Garg, COO, Hyundai India.&nbsp;

With the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-n-line-launched-in-india-at-rs-1682-can-do-0-100kmh-in-89-seconds-116438/">newly launched Creta N Line</a>, Hyundai expects this number to increase many folds. The latest entrant is Hyundai's most expensive N Line model, priced between&nbsp;16.82 lakh and&nbsp;Rs 20.30 lakh. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;prices of&nbsp;the i20 N Line and the Venue&nbsp;N Line start at Rs 10 lakh and Rs 12.08 lakh. The prices are ex-showroom.

At this price point, the&nbsp;Hyundai Creta N Line gets 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with red brake callipers,&nbsp;dual-tip exhaust pipes,&nbsp;a larger roof-mounted spoiler,&nbsp;twin&nbsp;10.25-inch screens&nbsp;for the infotainment and instrumentation, 70+&nbsp;connected car features,&nbsp;dual-zone automatic climate control, Level 2 ADAS, along with a&nbsp;new 1.5-litre, four-cylinder,&nbsp;turbo-petrol unit producing 158bhp and 253Nm of peak torque.&nbsp;The carmaker claims&nbsp;the car can sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 8.9 seconds.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Creta N Line: Variants</h2>

Hyundai offers the&nbsp;Creta N Line in two variants: N8 and N10. The former is the entry-spec model priced from Rs 16.82 lakh to Rs 18.32 lakh, while the latter falls between Rs 19.34 lakh and Rs 20.30 lakh. The prices are ex-showroom.

As part of the refresh, the car was given a few cosmetic and mechanical tweaks. A&nbsp;1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a&nbsp;7-speed DCT, makes&nbsp;118bhp and 172Nm of torque.&nbsp;

<h2>Hyundai Venue&nbsp;N Line</h2>

Meanwhile,<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/2023-hyundai-venue-n-line-variant-launched-in-india-price-starts-at-rs-1032-lakh-114486/"> Hyundai launched the 2023&nbsp;Venue&nbsp;N Line on September 4 </a>with ADAS technology, making it the first SUV in the segment to do so. Like the&nbsp;Hyundai i20 N Line, the Venue N Line's turbo-petrol engine&nbsp;comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Other options include&nbsp;a five-speed manual&nbsp;and a seven-speed DCT.
