Hyundai Creta EV spotted testing, may get Kona-like interiors
Hyundai Motor is reportedly working on the electric version of the Creta SUV. After a spy shot that emerged from the Korean carmaker's home base last month, a fresh test mule has been spotted on Indian roads which wears the the SUV's design but has the interior of an electric car. A video was shared on social media platform which offers hint at what the upcoming Creta EV may look like, on the inside and outside.
The video shows the Hyundai Creta EV test mule wrapped carefully in a black camouflage. However, it is not good enough to hide the new signature LED DRLs that the 2024 Creta facelift SUV comes with. The roof rails and the barely-visible taillight units are also identical to the ones seen on the new Creta SUV. However, the design of the alloy wheels are different. The test mule had its alloys designed in line of a windmill, a signature alloy design on EVs from the Korean auto giant.
