Hyundai Creta EV
The upcoming Hyundai Creta EV will be derived from the facelift of the mid-size SUV that was introduced earlier this year. It is anticipated that the vehicle will incorporate design features from the internal combustion engine (ICE) model, along with distinctive styling elements tailored for electric vehicles. Following the trend of implementing design modifications for new electric iterations of existing ICE models, similar updates can be expected for the Creta EV.
Although spy images indicate that the headlamp and daytime running light (DRL) designs will be retained, Hyundai is likely to equip the vehicle with a closed panel in place of the conventional radiator grille. Additionally, the Creta EV is expected to feature a new set of alloy wheels designed to enhance aerodynamics. This electric variant will be constructed on an updated version of the K2 platform, which also serves as the foundation for the current Hyundai Creta. As of now, there are no official details regarding the range of the Creta EV. However, it is expected that the Creta EV will have a driving range of around 500 km on a single charge.
