Hyundai Creta EV to be unveiled at 2025 India Mobility Expo: Key facts about it

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 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.
