Hyundai is one of the few mass-market brands in India that is catering to needs beyond the standard demographic. Its N Line offerings appeal to the folks that want their vehicles to not just stand out, but also offer a different, more dynamic driving experience. It all started with the i20 N Line, and we now have two more in the form of the Venue N Line and the latest Creta N Line.
In this story, we compare the three N Line products from Hyundai and take a detailed look at their treatment.
All three cars get a very similar treatment, which bring tweaks to the grille and bumpers, red accents and N Line badging all around, sportier alloy wheels, rear spoiler and dual exhaust tips. While these changes are standard across all three cars, the Creta N Line does get more than just these inserts, with a proper revised face that gets a new grille and sportier bumpers as well, making it stand out properly from the standard model.
To add to its sporty stance, it also gets bigger 18-inch alloys, while the standard only gets 17-inch ones.
As a result, while the i20 N Line and Venue Line do look sportier than their standard versions, but it's the Creta N Line that takes more effort in differentiating itself from the standard Creta.

Hyundai has kept the theme uniform here as well, with an all-black cabin theme for all three cars, which is contrasted by red stitching all around the cabin. All three get the sportier N-specific three-spoke steering wheel, which is the only revision in the cabin apart from the new theme.
Their respective features too are exactly similar to their standard iterations, save for the addition of a dashcam in the Venue N Line and Creta N Line. All come with six airbags as standard along with a few other electronic aids. But in terms of outright features, there is no beating the Creta N Line, which is the most premium offering of the lot.

Serving as the sportier, performance-oriented variants, all three N Line models are offered with their respective turbo petrol engines. The i20 N Line and Venue N Line get the 120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol mill, while the Creta N Line gets the 160PS 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine.

But while the Venue N Line only gets the option of a 7-speed DCT, the i20 N Line and Creta N Line benefit from the option of both 6-speed MT or a 7-speed DCT. The manual option for the Creta N Line is something that can’t be had in the standard Creta.

Rs 12.07 lakh to Rs 13.89 lakh |
Rs 16.82 lakh to Rs 20.44 lakh |
Of course, prices of all the three N Line offerings vary significantly, considering that they sit in very different segments. But while the top-spec variants of the Creta N Line and standard Creta only differ by Rs 30,000, the disparity between the Venue stands at Rs 41,000, while the difference is Rs 1.31 lakh for the i20 and i20 N Line top-spec variants.

So while the overall N Line treatment for the three is very similar, it seems like Hyundai has just done a tad more with the Creta N Line to set it apart from the other N Line models and even the standard Creta itself.
All three have different rivals as well, with the i20 N Line posing a sportier alternative to the likes of the Tata Altroz and Maruti Suzuki Baleno, while the Venue N Line head-to-head with the Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, and Nissan Magnite. The Creta N Line rivals the VW Taigun GT and Kia Seltos GT Line.
