Hyundai Motor India sells the Hyundai Creta, a popular mid-size SUV currently available with an internal combustion engine (ICE). An electric version is coming soon. The Hyundai Creta EV will launch in India on January 17 at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.

The mid-size SUV segment has strong ICE contenders. The EV segment includes models like the Mahindra BE 6,  Tata Curvv.ev, and MG ZS EV. Besides the Hyundai Creta EV, the Maruti Suzuki eVitarra and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder EV will soon join the competition.

The Creta EV is Hyundai's third electric car for the Indian market, following the Kona Electric and Ioniq 5. However, the Kona EV has been discontinued. Preparations for Creta EV production are underway at Hyundai's Sriperumbudur factory in Tamil Nadu.

Reports suggest the Creta EV will retain many design elements from the ICE Creta. However, there will be notable changes like a closed-off front grille, redesigned front and rear bumpers, and aerodynamically designed alloy wheels.

Inside, a similar dashboard layout with dual 10.25-inch displays for infotainment and the driver's console is expected. Like the ICE version, the EV is expected to feature Level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, and ventilated seats.

While official Creta EV specifications are unavailable, a ~50kWh LFP battery is anticipated, offering a range of 450-500 km on a full charge. The electric SUV will also include fast charging. The Hyundai Creta EV price in India is expected to start around ₹18 lakh.
