The Hyundai Creta EV will make its debut at the Bharat Mobility Show 2025, scheduled for January 17. As one of the key attractions at the Hyundai stall, it will be showcased alongside the Ioniq 9 EV. This electric SUV is expected to share interior elements with the Hyundai Alcazar, featuring a 138hp motor and deliveries starting in February 2025. The Creta EV will compete with other electric SUVs like the Mahindra BE 6e, Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, and Maruti e Vitara.
Design and Features
Unlike some rivals, Hyundai is likely to maintain a conservative design approach for the Creta EV, drawing similarities with the standard ICE-powered Creta. Key updates include a new closed grille, redesigned bumpers, and unique alloy wheels. Inside, the Creta EV will feature a three-spoke steering wheel, a drive selector near the steering column, and a refreshed center console with two cup holders and buttons for features like electronic parking brake, cooled seats, and auto-hold. The HVAC controls will be borrowed from the Alcazar facelift, while the infotainment setup includes a twin-screen display with EV-specific features.

Performance and Range
The Hyundai Creta EV will be equipped with a 45kWh battery pack, less than some of its competitors like the MG ZS EV and the upcoming Maruti eVX. However, it matches the entry-level Curvv EV’s 45kWh battery and offers an optional larger 55kWh pack. The electric SUV will feature a single front-axle-mounted motor delivering 138hp and 255Nm of torque, similar to the Kona EV. Hyundai plans to produce around 24,000 units annually and is expected to set competitive pricing when the Creta EV goes on sale next month.
Conclusion
The Hyundai Creta EV, set to debut at the Bharat Mobility Show 2025, combines a conservative design with innovative features like a 45kWh battery pack and a 138hp motor. It targets the electric SUV market with competitive pricing and is expected to share its interior design with the Hyundai Alcazar. With deliveries starting in February 2025, the Creta EV will compete with other EVs like the Mahindra BE 6e, Tata Curvv EV, and Maruti e Vitara, offering a mix of performance and practicality for Indian consumers.
