20 hours ago | 5 Views

Hyundai Creta ranks among the top-selling vehicles in India, having secured the position of the fifth best-selling passenger car in the country in 2024. In 2025, the South Korean automotive manufacturer is set to elevate its offerings with the introduction of the Creta EV, which is expected to make its debut at the forthcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo, commencing on January 17. The Hyundai Creta EV will be presented as an all-electric version of the popular SUV.

The company has already showcased the exterior and interior designs of the upcoming Creta Electric through various social media channels. The SUV maintains a design philosophy consistent with that of the internal combustion engine (ICE) variant of the Creta. Nevertheless, there are notable design distinctions between the Creta EV and its ICE counterpart.

Below is a brief overview of the enhancements that the Hyundai Creta EV has received compared to the ICE-powered model.

Hyundai Creta EV vs Creta ICE: How their designs are different

The silhouette of the Hyundai Creta EV closely resembles that of the internal combustion engine (ICE) variant of the Creta. Nevertheless, there are subtle design modifications specific to the electric vehicle. The Creta Electric features a pixel motif, which serves as the visual signature for all Hyundai electric models. Additional design distinctions include a sealed radiator grille and air dam in the Creta EV, both of which contribute to improved aerodynamic efficiency characteristics of electric vehicles.

The Hyundai Creta EV's silhouette looks identical to the ICE-powered Creta with small differences.

The Hyundai Creta EV borrows the Active Air Flat technology from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, allowing the air flaps to open and close for cooling and airflow, which comes as a segment-first feature. Unlike the ICE-powered Creta, the front camera of the Creta EV is positioned above the brand's logo. It also houses the charging port underneath. There is a slimmer silver skid plate onboard the Creta EV and it has sharper arches as well compared to the Creta ICE.

Hyundai Creta Electric gets EV-specific aerodynamic alloy wheels.

Moving to the side profile, the Hyundai Creta Electric gets EV-specific aerodynamic alloy wheels and a blacked-out C-pillar in the dual-tone version. In the standard Creta, the C pillar comes wearing a silver shade. Just like the front profile, the side skid plate also comes differently designed.

At the rear, the Creta EV gets a slimmer reflector pair, an angular skid plate and an additional reverse light, as compared to the single unit available in the Creta ICE. The right side of the tailgate will house the EV badge instead of the variant name on the Creta ICE.

The Hyundai Creta EV will have a total of 10 exterior shades on offer, which will comprise eight monotone and two dual-tone colours. These will include three matte shades. The Creta ICE has seven colour choices.
