Meanwhile, the HR-V RS Turbo is slightly longer at 4,385 mm x 1,790 mm x 1,590 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,610 mm and a ground clearance of 185 mm.

The designs differ as the HR-V RS Turbo has several sharp angles. Meanwhile, the Creta N Line Turbo tends to be boxy and has a unique front and rear light design equipped with a horizontal LED bar.

Each has differentiators from other types. For example, the highest HR-V type has an RS emblem on the lower part of the grille. The Creta also has an N Line emblem on its grille.

However, in terms of capacity, they are not much different. Because both SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) are configured as 5-seaters and have similar dimensions.

Moving on to the powertrain, both models are equipped with a 1,500 cc engine. The HR-V has a 1.5L Turbo DOHC inline-four cylinder engine, while the Creta N Line has a 1,500 cc inline-four cylinder Turbocharged engine.

However, the power output differs due to various factors. The Creta N Line is claimed to produce 157 hp and a peak torque of 253 Nm, while the HR-V produces 174 hp with a torque of 240 Nm.
