Hyundai Creta N Line 2025: Now with 193 PS Turbo Petrol – Spied Uncovered

Hyundai’s popular SUV, the Creta N Line, is about to receive a major performance boost in Brazil. The sportier avatar of the Creta has been spied testing with a 193 PS, 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, signaling an exciting update for enthusiasts craving more power under the hood.

Currently, the Creta N Line in Brazil is powered by a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, also seen in models like the Hyundai Venue in India. But the new spy shots confirm a big shift in performance capabilities, thanks to the ‘1.6 TGDI’ badging seen on the test model’s tailgate.

What’s New: 1.6L Turbo Petrol Engine

The biggest talking point of this upcoming variant is the 1.6-litre turbocharged GDI engine, which churns out 193 PS of power and 265 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). This is a significant upgrade over the current 1.0-litre turbo petrol unit, which produces 120 PS and 172 Nm of torque with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

This new powertrain is already available on the top-end ‘Ultimate’ trim of the standard Creta in Brazil, but now it’s making its way to the N Line, promising a much more dynamic and thrilling driving experience for performance enthusiasts.

Design & Styling – Bold As Ever

Though the test car was seen without camouflage, the sporty design elements of the N Line remain intact. Expect signature features such as

• Glossy black exterior trims
• Aggressive front grille with N Line badging
• Dual exhaust tipsNew 18-inch alloy wheels (up from the current 17-inch wheels)
• Sporty bumpers and side cladding

The LED headlamps and tail-lights seem to retain the same layout as the standard Creta, but the overall presence of the N Line version is clearly more performance-focused.

Interiors: Sport Meets Sophistication

Inside, Hyundai continues to push sporty aesthetics with premium elements. Key interior highlights of the upcoming Creta N Line 1.6 TGDI include:

• All-black cabin with red contrast stitching
• Synthetic leather upholstery
• N Line badging on seats, steering, gear knob, and door sills
• Metal pedals for a race-inspired touch
• Glossy black dashboard accents
• Panoramic sunroo
• fRed ambient lighting across dash and door panels

Additionally, it retains all modern features such as dual 10.25-inch digital displays, wireless smartphone charging, Hyundai BlueLink connectivity, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Performance vs. Price – What to Expect

With the addition of the 1.6L turbo engine, pricing is expected to get a bump as well. While the current Creta N Line (1.0L turbo) is priced at R$ 188,720 (approx. ₹29.39 lakh), the upgraded Creta N Line 1.6 TGDI is likely to launch at around R$ 200,000 (approx. ₹31.15 lakh).

• Standard Creta Ultimate (1.6L TGDI): R$ 198,120 (~₹30.85 lakh)
• Existing Creta N Line (1.0L Turbo): R$ 188,720 (~₹29.39 lakh)

Despite the premium, the performance gains and sporty enhancements are likely to appeal strongly to younger buyers and car enthusiasts in Brazil.

The Hyundai Creta N Line 1.6 TGDI marks a significant leap in the N Line portfolio. With its bold design, rich feature set, and now a power-packed engine, it’s all set to become a favorite for driving enthusiasts in Brazil.
