An electric iteration of the Hyundai Creta, which is likely to be called the Hyundai Creta EV, has been spied testing for a long time on our roads. It was officially stated earlier in November 2024 that the upcoming electric SUV will be launched in India in January 2025. Now, the Korean carmaker has confirmed the Creta EV will launch on January 17. Let us take a look at everything it can offer:

A Creta-like Design

While official images of the Creta EV are awaited, the numerous spy shots suggest that the electric Creta will borrow a lot of design elements from its ICE-powered counterpart. These include a vertically stacked headlight setup, connected LED DRLs and connected LED tail lights. 

However, it will get some EV-specific changes including a blanked-off grille and aerodynamically designed alloy wheels.

Similar Interior To The Creta

Not only will the exterior seek resemblance to the Creta, but the interior too will be similar to that of the popular compact SUV. Spy shots have revealed that it will have a dual-tone interior and a dual-screen setup on the dashboard. That said, the Creta EV is expected to get a 3-spoke steering wheel with a drive selector lever behind it, similar to the bigger Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV.
