Hyundai Creta EV: India Launch Confirmed for January 17, 2025

Hyundai has officially confirmed that the much-anticipated Creta EV will be launched in India on January 17, 2025. This electric SUV will be the most affordable EV in the Hyundai lineup in India.

The Creta EV will share many design elements with its ICE counterpart, including the vertically stacked headlight setup, connected LED DRLs, and connected LED tail lights. However, it will feature some EV-specific changes like a closed-off grille and aerodynamically designed alloy wheels.

The interior of the Creta EV will also be similar to the regular Creta, with a dual-tone interior and a dual-screen setup on the dashboard. It is expected to get a 3-spoke steering wheel with a drive selector lever behind it, similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV.

The Creta EV is expected to be packed with features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, wireless phone charger, and a 360-degree camera. It is also expected to have EV-specific features like vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging and multi-level regenerative braking.

The powertrain specifications of the Creta EV are yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to have a claimed range of around 400 km. The prices of the Creta EV are expected to start from Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Creta EV will be competing against the likes of the Tata Curvv EV, the MG ZS EV, and the upcoming Maruti e-Vitara.
