No top speed is published by Hyundai for the Creta, the Creta N Line or the Creta EV, and no 0 to 100 km/h time for the petrol or diesel Creta. Tyre size goes with the trim rather than the engine, from 205/65 R16 on the E to 215/55 R18 on the King (Creta tyre size and pressure).
Creta N Line and Creta EV: engine and motors
The Creta N Line uses the same 1.5 Turbo GDi Petrol (160 PS, 253 Nm) as the Creta King, but offers it with the 6-speed MT or the 7-speed DCT, where the Creta has only the 7-speed DCT. Hyundai quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds for it, without naming the gearbox or the test. In the Creta EV, the 42 kWh version's motor makes 135 PS (99 kW) and the 51.4 kWh version's motor makes 171 PS (126 kW), and both make 255 Nm, through a single-speed reduction gear. For the 51.4 kWh car Hyundai gives 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, measured in its own tests on a new battery pack.
