    Hyundai Creta N Line vs Kia Seltos X-Line: how do they stack up

    The Hyundai Creta N Line was launched in India earlier this week as the company’s third N Line product after the i20 N Line and Venue N Line. The Creta N Line promises to be a sportier version of the midsize SUV, with some mechanical changes and more obvious visual enhancements, both on the inside and outside.

    While the Hyundai Creta N Line might not have a direct rival in the Indian market yet, its pricing is at par with the range-topping Kia Seltos X-Line. Here, we take a look at how the two rivals stack up in terms of size, powertrain and price.

    The Hyundai Creta N Line draws power from a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine putting out 160hp and 253Nm; the same engine also performs its duty on the standard Creta, Seltos and Verna. Hyundai claims that the Creta N Line has a retuned suspension setup and reworked steering dynamics for a sportier drive. The Seltos X-Line gets no mechanical changes when compared to the other turbo-petrol variants.

    Unlike the Creta N Line, which is available with both manual and automatic options, the Seltos X-Line can only be had with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, the Kia SUV also gets the option of a 1.5-litre diesel engine with the X-Line trim.
