All-electric Hyundai Creta spied for the first time

The Creta EV will utilize the SUV’s existing architecture, similar to the Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400.

The first spy images of what is believed to be the electric version of the Hyundai Creta have surfaced online. The Creta EV (codenamed: SU2i EV) is expected to debut in 2025.

The Creta EV test mule was spotted at a roadside charging station. As you can see, the car was not camouflaged and looked identical to the ICE version.

So, how do we know that it’s an EV? Well, if you look closely, the test car has what appears to be an additional supporting brace for the floor-mounted battery pack.

Unlike the recently launched Ioniq 5, which is based on the E-GMP platform, the Creta EV will utilize the SUV’s existing architecture, similar to the Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400. It would also allow Hyundai to offer it for a relatively affordable price. That being said, going forward, the carmaker does plan to localize its E-GMP platform as well.

While technical details of the all-electric Hyundai Creta are unknown, rumours suggest that it could use the electric motor and battery from the Kona Electric.
