Hyundai is getting ready to launch its all-new Creta EV in India. This electric SUV has been seen testing on Indian roads several times. The company is preparing for a possible launch in early 2026.
The Creta EV is based on the same design as the petrol Creta but has some changes to match the electric style. It is expected to be a big step for Hyundai in India’s fast-growing electric vehicle market.
What Was Seen in the Test Car
The test car was fully covered in black to hide its final design. Still, a few details were clear:
- The front has a closed grille, which is common in electric vehicles
- New aero-style wheels that help increase efficiency
- Slight changes in the bumper design for a more modern look
- A charging port placed in the front section
From the side and rear, the car looked very similar to the regular Creta. However, experts believe that the final version will come with special EV styling like connected LED lights and unique badging.
Expected Features Inside the Cabin
Though the full interior is still under wraps, early details and expert reports suggest the following features in the Creta EV:
- Dual 10.25-inch screens – one for the dashboard and one for infotainment
- Panoramic sunroof to give a spacious feel
- Ventilated front seats for added comfort in summer
- Wireless phone charging
- Premium sound system, likely from Bose
- ADAS Level 2 features like lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and auto emergency braking
- 360-degree camera and multiple airbags for better safety
Hyundai may also add EV-specific controls and graphics in the infotainment system.
Battery and Driving Range
While the company has not shared final battery specs, industry sources expect that the Hyundai Creta EV will come with a battery size of around 45 to 60 kWh. This could offer a driving range of 400 to 500 km on a full charge.
The car will most likely be front-wheel drive and powered by a single electric motor. The performance may match the current petrol turbo Creta in terms of speed and acceleration.

- Tata Curvv EV
- Mahindra XUV400
- MG ZS EV
- Maruti eVX (upcoming)
The car is likely to be officially unveiled at an auto show in January 2026, with sales starting soon after.
Final Words
The Hyundai Creta EV is shaping up to be a strong new choice in India’s electric SUV market. With its trusted Creta design, long range, high-tech features, and Hyundai’s reputation for safety and quality, this EV could become a favorite among Indian buyers.
It is aimed at families and individuals who want to move to electric cars without giving up style, comfort, or space.
