Hyundai Creta EV - what to expect?
The electric Hyundai Creta is scheduled to launch in India first. India is a big market for Creta and it is the top-selling car in recent months. Later on, in 2025, Hyundai will introduce it in other prominent markets like the UAE.
The Creta EV will be based on the same platform as the current model. Although, it will receive minor changes to its design, including a new aerodynamic bumper, new alloy wheels, and a redesigned rear bumper.
The cabin design of the electric Creta will also be identical to that of the Hyundai Tucson. It will be equipped with top-notch wireless connected features like voice-assist commands, a panoramic sunroof, a connected display, and more.
Additionally, it'll get a three-spoke steering wheel and a drive mode selector mounted on the steering column. Other prominent features will include dual-zone climate control, ventilated and electric front seats, leather upholstery, ADAS safety features, and more.
Powering the Hyundai Creta EV will be a 45 kWh battery; similar to the Hyundai Kona EV. It produces a peak power of 138 bhp and 255 Nm of torque. The Creta EV will be powered by a front-wheel drive system. The driving range of the Creta EV will be upwards 320 km.

Hyundai Creta EV - UAE launch timeline, price, rivals
The UAE-spec Hyundai Creta is a different model as compared to the one in India. However, the Creta EV will be a global product and it is expected to launch as it is in the UAE.
Currently, Hyundai has not revealed its plans for introducing the Creta EV in the UAE. But, we suspect that due to its popularity, the Creta EV might launch by the second half of 2025.
The pricing of the ICE model in the UAE goes up to AED 254,900 for the top trim. The EV version will be priced above this price tag, whenever launched. The primary rivals of the Hyundai Creta EV will be the MG ZS EV, Suzuki e Vitara and the upcoming Toyota Urban Cruiser EV.
