Hyundai rolled out its EV offering – the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 and it is expanding its catalog further. Although it isn’t the first time we are hearing about a Hyundai Creta EV, the latest report shows a spy shot showcasing the upcoming EV SUV from its left profile. Codenamed SU2i EV, we have sutured all the information available about the 2025 Hyundai Creta EV SUV.
Hyundai Creta EV 2025 Spied in the Wild
Hyundai Creta has been hurtling across the Indian roads paired on its IC-engine type for a long time. We just got an update on its next-gen EV prototype that was pictured in the wild recently. The first look shows how it looks similar to the IC variant with slight cosmetic changes to the pan floor pan extensions among others.
The carmaker is working towards localizing the model to drive the cost of production down. It will ultimately affect the end pricing on the road for customers as well. Expect minor modifications in the EV variant which it will be made on E-GMP architecture for both Indian and global markets.
The spy shot does show a protrusion under the body which is likely a battery pack laid on the floor. Creta EV was spotted at an EV charging station which goes to show that this was indeed an EV SUV and not the usual IC-based model.
Hyundai Creta EV Specs
We haven’t received any figures from Hyundai but the reports offer a lot of insights to consider. There’s a report that says the Creta EV is likely to get the same sub-system as the Kona EV which means we could see 100 kW PMSM electronic motion and a peak of 395 Nm of torque.
The battery pack on the Creta EV is likely to carry a capacity of 39.2 kWh that carries an ARAI-certified range of 400 km as per the international sibling.
Hyundai Creta EV Launch in India
Talking about the Hyundai Creta EV launch, is likely to hit the Indian market around 2025. You can spin around Kona EV and Ioniq 5 while the Creta EV becomes ready to hit the market.
The model will be built on the E-GMP platform and it will be fully localized. Once it arrives, it will take on Kia Seltos EV and Maruti eVX EV SUV as some of the competitors.
As of now, we do know that the Creta EV is codenamed as SU2i EV and will be showcased at the Auto Expo 2025. The model is likely to be under production sometime in late 2024, however, these are tentative timelines that we have so far.
Hyundai Creta EV Price in India
On the pricing scale, the Hyundai Creta EV is likely to fetch between INR 15 to INR 30 lakhs in the country. A Rushlane report gives a slightly narrow INR 20 to 30 lakhs pricing range. The current-gen non-EV model falls in the bracket of INR to INR 25 lakhs going across the variants it offers.
