Hyundai Creta's new look: striking changes to the electric Creta
The electric Creta won't just be a version with a different engine. Its design is being carefully tweaked to reflect its electric nature. Among the most obvious changes is the absence of the traditional front grille, which gives way to a cleaner, more modern look.
The headlights, on the other hand, maintain similarities with the restyled model which arrived in Brazil in 2024. This suggests a continuity in design, but with touches that differentiate the Creta EV from its competitors and other versions of the model itself.
Speculated technical specifications
Although Hyundai has not released official figures, speculation suggests an electric motor with 138 hp of power and 26 kgfm of torque. The battery, estimated at 45 kWh, should offer a generous range of 450 km.
With these specifications, the electric Creta positions itself as a viable option for both urban use and longer trips, expanding the model's appeal in the competitive electric SUV market.
Perspectives for the global and Brazilian market
In India, the Hyundai Creta is already a success in its combustion version, which justifies the initial focus on the local market. The transition to electric is a strategic move to meet the growing demand for sustainable vehicles in the country.
In Brazil, the scenario is a little more complex. With incentives aimed at flex-fuel hybrid models, there are still no signs that the Creta EV will be launched here. However, the growing demand for electric cars could change this scenario in the future.
The electric Hyundai Creta represents a bold step and necessary for the future mobility. With improved design, advanced technology and impressive specifications, the model promises to be a game changer in the electric SUV segment.
Whether in India or other markets, the Creta EV signals Hyundai’s determination to lead the transition to a more sustainable future. Now, we just have to wait until January 17 to learn all the details of this revolutionary new product.
