The Thailand-spec Hyundai Creta N Line has a less powerful engine, only a CVT gearbox, and fewer colour options than the India-spec model, which offers more choices.
India-spec Hyundai Creta N Line is more powerful with more options.
The Hyundai Creta N Line facelift was introduced in India in 2024 and has now made its way to Thailand with a similar design inside and out.
However, there are three key differences between the Thailand-spec and India-spec models. Let’s take a look:
Less Powerful Engine
The biggest difference is under the bonnet. The India-spec Hyundai Creta N Line comes with a powerful turbo-petrol engine, while the Thailand version gets a naturally aspirated unit. Here’s how they compare:
The Thailand-spec Hyundai Creta N Line is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 115 bhp and 144 Nm of torque. In comparison, the India-spec Creta N Line comes with a more powerful 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, delivering 160 bhp and 253 Nm of torque.
This makes the Indian version significantly more performance-oriented than its Thai counterpart. Also, the Indian version has 45 bhp and 109 Nm more torque than the Thailand model, offering a sportier driving experience.
| Thailand-spec Creta N Line | India-spec Creta N Line | |
| Engine | 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol | 1.5-litre turbo-petrol |
| Power | 115 bhp | 160 bhp |
| Torque | 144 Nm | 253 Nm |
Automatic Transmission Only in Thailand
Another key difference between the Thailand-spec and India-spec Creta N Line is the gearbox options. The Thailand-spec model is available only with a CVT automatic transmission, which prioritizes smooth and fuel-efficient performance.
In contrast, the India-spec version offers more variety, including a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 7-speed DCT automatic. The manual transmission in the Indian model provides better control over gear shifts, making it a more engaging option for driving enthusiasts who prefer a hands-on experience.
| Thailand-spec Creta N Line | India-spec Creta N Line | |
|---|---|---|
| Transmission | CVT automatic only | 6-speed manual/7-speed DCT automatic |
Fewer Colour Options
Hyundai offers more color choices for the Creta N Line in India compared to Thailand, giving buyers more customization options. The Thailand-spec Creta N Line is available in just two dual-tone shades: Creamy White Pearl with a Black Roof and Dragon Red Pearl with a Black Roof. In contrast, the India-spec model comes in a broader palette, including Titan Grey Matte, Abyss Black, and Atlas White.
Additionally, Indian buyers can opt for three dual-tone variants: Thunder Blue with an Abyss Black Roof, Shadow Grey with an Abyss Black Roof, and Atlas White with an Abyss Black Roof. This wider selection makes the Creta N Line in India more versatile and appealing to a broader range of customers.
| Thailand-spec Creta N Line | India-spec Creta N Line | |
| Colour Options | Creamy White Pearl with Black Roof | Titan Grey Matte |
| Dragon Red Pearl with Black Roof | Abyss Black | |
| Atlas White | ||
| Thunder Blue with Abyss Black Roof | ||
| Shadow Grey with Abyss Black Roof | ||
| Atlas White with Abyss Black Roof |
What’s The Same?
Apart from these differences, the design, features, and overall styling of the Creta N Line remain identical in both markets.
Price And Rivals
The India-spec Hyundai Creta N Line is priced between Rs 16.93 lakh and Rs 20.64 lakh (ex-showroom, India). It competes with sporty compact SUVs like the Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq.
