The Creta Electric SUV has been revealed by Hyundai India ahead of its January 17 debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The new EV is slated to be the brand's most affordable electric vehicle in the Indian market, carrying on the name of the well-liked ICE SUV.
The Kona electric, which was comparatively less expensive than the flagship Ioniq 5, was once part of the brand's EV lineup. However, since its discontinuation, there has been a gap in the lineup, which the new model intends to fill.
The upcoming models such as Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE 6, and Tata Curvv EV will be rivaled by the Creta EV, which is anticipated to start at Rs 20 lakh. Watch: All about the new Hyundai Creta Electric
