Rumour: Hyundai Creta EV to employ a 45 kWh battery pack

The Creta EV will be based on the upcoming Creta facelift, which is said to debut on January 16, 2024.

Hyundai is gearing up to enter the mass-market EV segment in 2025 with the Creta EV. The electric SUV will be positioned below the Kona Electric and will compete with the MG ZS EV and the upcoming Maruti eVX.

According to the latest reports, the Creta EV could get a 45 kWh battery sourced from LG Chem. This means it is likely to get a smaller battery pack compared to its rivals. Maruti is expected to offer two battery options on the eVX: 48 kWh and 60 kWh, while the MG ZS EV uses a 50.3 kWh unit.

It has also been reported that the Creta EV will use the same electric motor that powers the Kona Electric. The front-mounted electric motor is said to produce 136 BHP and 255 Nm.

The Creta EV will be based on the upcoming Creta facelift. The latter will debut on January 16, 2024.
