Hyundai Creta EV Spied: Fresh Details Out
The recently sighted test mule of the Hyundai Creta EV closely resembles the 2024 Creta facelift model in various aspects. Notable features include quad-beam LED headlamps, horizon LED positioning lamps with DRLs, and LED sequential turn signals both at the front and rear, complemented by connecting LED tail lamps.
While retaining the overall design, the Creta EV is expected to incorporate electric vehicle-specific modifications, such as a closed-off grille. Slight refreshments to the front and rear bumpers may align with the SUV's electric underpinnings, and the inclusion of EV-specific branding elements is anticipated across the front, side, and rear.
Interior And Features
Inside the Hyundai Creta EV, you can expect a comprehensive set of features similar to those found in the new Creta facelift. Notable highlights include an integrated infotainment and instrument cluster screen, ventilated front seats, a voice-enabled smart panoramic sunroof, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and more.
Additionally, the Creta EV might incorporate some premium features inspired by the Ioniq 5 model. On the safety front, a comprehensive set of Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features.

Expected Battery And Range
The Hyundai Creta EV is ready to charge onto the scene with a 45 kWh battery pack (sourced from LG Chem), offering a balance between its rivals. While not the biggest, as MG ZS EV boasts 50.3 kWh, it surpasses the Nexon EV (40.5 kWh) and falls between the expected options for the upcoming Maruti eVX (48-60 kWh). Expect a certified range of around 450 km, with real-world use likely settling at 250-300 km. Under the hood, it will be sharing the Kona EV's electric motor, rated at 138 hp and 255 Nm of torque, propelling the front wheels.
Verdict
The Hyundai Creta EV is set to make a significant impact in the Indian electric SUV market. With its modern design, advanced features, and efficient electric powertrain, it aims to redefine expectations and contribute to the growing shift towards electric mobility in the country and what better than the iconic Creta moniker to do so.
