Hyundai Motor India launched its electric SUV Ioniq 5 at the Auto Expo last month. Along with this, the company also showcased the Ioniq 6. Now recently, a prototype variant of an electric Creta crossover (codename SU2i EV) from Hyundai was seen for the first time. Now, a test mule of the Hyundai Creta Electric was recently spotted on a trial run on Indian roads, indicating that the electric SUV is almost ready, much ahead of its estimated arrival time. When launched, the Creta EV will directly rival the upcoming Maruti Suzuki YY8 EV. It will also compete with upcoming mid-size SUVs from Mahindra and Tata. Hyundai has targeted retail sales of 20,000 – 25,000 units of the electric Creta on an annual basis.

While the powertrain details of the Hyundai Creta Electric are still a mystery, we are expecting it to retain the battery and motor configuration from the Creta Electric. This means that the Creta Electric could come with a 100 kW electric motor and 39.2 kWh battery pack, which should result in an ARAI claimed range of over 400 km. Hyundai will also fully localize the e-GMP platform, which will be used for India and global markets.

Hyundai Creta EV: Design
Exterior
In terms of design, Hyundai has followed Tata Motors and Mahindra in modifying the existing ICE-engine platform and making it suitable for a fully electric vehicle. While Tata Motors followed a similar process for its current range of EVs based on the Tiago, Tigor and Nexon, Mahindra did the same with the XUV400, which is based on the XUV300. Instead of relying on the born electric e-GMP architecture, Hyundai chose the Creta Electric’s existing platform to keep production costs under control.
Interior
Instead of a futuristic design on the interior, Hyundai has kept things simple as the cabin is largely similar to the regular version of the Creta SUV. The SUV comes with leather seats as standard along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, soft-touch material for the dashboard, sporty metal pedals and a fully digital instrument cluster. However, the actual cabin features of the ESUV will be decided at the time of unveiling of the car
