The Hyundai Creta EV is one of the most awaited electric cars in India and is expected to debut at the 2025 India Mobility Expo in January next year.

The Hyundai Creta EV is one of the most awaited electric cars in India, and is expected to make its debut at the India Mobility Expo in January next year. Hyundai has already introduced the Kona Electric and Ioniq 5 electric cars in India. However, the Kona Electric could not achieve the desired sales numbers, while the Ioniq 5, being a premium offering, also did not bring in much numbers for the automaker. In this situation, the Hyundai Creta EV could be a crowd puller for the South Korean auto major.

The Hyundai Creta has been one of the most successful SUVs ever since it was launched in India. The automaker aims to capitalise on this successful SUV by bringing the electric Creta. Since the automaker is currently working on the Creta EV, here are some key details of the upcoming electric SUV.

Hyundai Creta EV: Design and platform

The Hyundai Creta EV will be built on a modified version of the K2 architecture. Interestingly, the current ICE-powered Hyundai Creta is based on the K2 platform. Taking inspiration from the design philosophy of the Hyundai Kona Electric, it can be expected that the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV will share a wide range of design elements with its ICE sibling. However, it will also have a fair number of distinctive styling bits.

The Hyundai Creta EV will ditch the traditional front radiator grille in favour of a closed panel. There will be aero-alloy wheels to enhance aerodynamic efficiency, which plays a key role in ensuring optimum range for electric vehicles. Expect some distinctive EV-specific styling themes as well.

Hyundai Creta EV: Interior and Features

Given that Hyundai will position the Creta EV as an upmarket offering, the electric SUV will come with an interior that will carry the same vibe as the current ICE-propelled Creta. However, just like the exterior, it will have EV-specific styling features. The Hyundai Creta EV is expected to get a dual-screen setup combining a touchscreen infotainment system and instrument cluster. Other features will include a 360-degree surround view camera and a Level 2 ADAS suite.

Hyundai Creta EV: Powertrain

There is very little information about the powertrain and specifications of the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV at the moment. However, it is expected that the upcoming Creta EV will be available in two different battery pack options. Also, it will offer a range of up to 500 km on a single charge.

Launched in early August 2024, the Tata Curve EV is available with two battery pack options – a 45 kWh unit and a 55 kWh unit, promising a range of 502 km and 585 km, respectively. The Hyundai Creta EV is also expected to match these figures.

Take a look at the upcoming EV cars in India.

Hyundai Creta EV has been in discussions among Indian electric vehicle enthusiasts even before the updated version of the mid-size SUV entered the market in January this year. Now, the Creta EV has been spotted in the wild in South Korea in a fresh spy shot image. A fully camouflaged test mule of the Hyundai Creta EV has been spied, giving us a clue about the possible design elements of the electric SUV.

The latest spy shot of the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV shows the SUV gets an identical LED daytime running light (DRL) spanning the entire width of the front profile. Also, it looks like the car will have similar styling elements including LED projector headlamps as the ICE variant of the Creta, which is currently on sale in India. However, being an electric car, it would feature a closed panel instead of a conventional radiator grille visible in the newly launched Creta facelift. The spyshot also reveals the electric Creta gets 17-inch aero-designed alloy wheels, which is specifically meant for the EV and comes as the most distinctive change compared to the ICE variant.

Also, there would be a 360 degree surround camera and Level 2 ADAS suite. The front camera is visible at the centre of the nose section at front profile.

The South Korean automaker is tightlipped about the specifications of the upcoming electric car. However, expect it to come offering about 450 kilometre range on a single charge thanks to 55-60 kWh battery pack.

Updated Hyundai Creta to launch on January 16: What does it mean for segment?

December 29, 2023

by Car Bima with No Comment car insurance online

The updated Hyundai Creta is ready and raring for its official launch in the Indian car market. But unlike in times before, the champion is now threat

…

The updated Hyundai Creta is ready and raring for its official launch in the Indian car market. But unlike in times before, the champion is now threatened by a longer list of very competent challengers.

Hyundai Creta has been the undisputed champion in the mid-size SUV space. But the Creta model available at present has not received any major update – barring special editions – in the past few years. It is a time period in which rivals have entered and carved out some space for themselves. While the crown may not have been under threat yet, the 2024 Creta is more than likely to extend its lead in the Indian automotive market.

First launched in 2015, Creta galvanised the mid-size SUV space which at that point in time had the likes of Ford EcoSport and Renault Duster. Both EcoSport and Duster have since disappeared, replaced by options like Kia Seltos, MG Hector, Tata Harrier, Mahindra Scorpio-N, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq. Each of these models are power players in their own right but Creta continues to sell by the truckloads and the updated version is likely to further prospects.

2024 Hyundai Creta launch

The update to Creta has been awaited for quite a long time. Once Kia drove out the updated Seltos earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before Hyundai fired back too.

Spy images of a camouflaged Creta have repeatedly surfaced in recent weeks as the SUV undergoes testing in India. What is evident from these is that the new 2024 Hyundai Creta will sport an updated grille and other minor design tweaks on the outside. In the cabin, the dashboard layout has been refreshed while the screens are likely to be updated too. There will also be dual-tone seats on offer while a 360-degree camera and ADAS technology are almost certain too.

In terms of engine options, Hyundai is likely to push out the model with three choices – 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol motor, 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol unit and a 1.5-litre CRDi diesel unit. There will also be multiple transmission choices.

2024 Hyundai Creta vs rivals

What is likely to hold the new Creta in good stead is the enormous popularity it has enjoyed for nearly a decade in the Indian market. Backed by Hyundai’s extensive sales and service network, the SUV could be the biggest blockbuster of 2024. But unlike previous times, the competition is red hot. The likes of Grand Vitara and Hyryder offer strong hybrid technology. The Seltos is still quite new and has been received well by potential buyers because of its catchy new styling and updated feature list. Taigun and Kushaq underline their safety credentials while Harrier has assumed an even more macho exterior style in its latest update. As for Scorpio-N, it continues to boast of a very solid road presence that is quite liked by those who prefer an SUV body type.

Among other features, the new Creta is expected to come with ventilated front seats, 360 degree camera as well as ADAS technology sourced from models like Verna or Tucson.

According to earlier spy shots, the upcoming Creta facelift SUV will have design elements similar to Palisade, Hyundai’s global SUV. It will get vertical LED light setup along with parametric grille at the front. At the rear, besides the updated light setup, the Creta will also get sequential turn indicators.

Hyundai is betting big on models like Creta and Exter.

The Indian market has been witnessing a rapid surge in demand for SUVs and MPVs over the last few years. Several automakers present in India, including Hyundai, have been trying to encash this demand for SUVs. The automaker has launched the new Exter in India. Besides that, the Creta has been one of the consistently well-performing SUVs in India.

Speaking about the automaker’s strategy, Garg said that, with exports accelerating in the last three months, Hyundai is confident of sustaining its overseas shipments momentum despite concerns over the global geopolitical situation, while the brand is hopeful that SUVs will contribute to more than 60 per cent of total sales in the domestic market. “We will end up with more than 60 per cent at the end of the year which is what we said at the beginning of the year. We are now almost reaching there,” Garg reportedly said.

So that has really helped us to outperform the industry in terms of January to October numbers,” he added.

Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) clocked a total sales of 68,728 units in October 2023 as compared to 58,006 units in the same month a year ago, registering a growth of 18.48 per cent.
