By Hyundai continues to test the Creta EV across different parts of the world as the new spy picture comes from Korea. The prototype of the Creta EV was spotted at a charging station. The test mule reveals that the design theme of the international model is different from the India-spec model. The global model of the Creta EV gets the same design as the facelift model. The front gets full-length LED DRLs and LED headlamps but the grille will be fully covered like other electric models and the Hyundai logo will be placed on the hood instead of the grille.
The hood design appears to be different from the ICE version as the engineers are working on various ways to reduce the overall drag as it will improve the range. The side design is similar to the regular Creta facelift model as the changes include new 17-inch alloy wheels and for the first time, we could see the aero parts on the alloy wheels as the test mules spotted in India came with regular alloy wheels. Apart from this, we can expect some changes to the bumper, which will further reduce the drag. The rear gets LED tail lamps and some minor tweaks to the bumper.
The interior is expected to be carried over from the ICE version of Creta as the dashboard will be dominated by dual screens as one for the infotainment system and the other for the instrument cluster. The software on the infotainment system is expected to be different with updates for the EV version. Hyundai will offer ADAS Level-II like the ICE version. The Creta EV will be powered by a 45 kWh battery pack and it is expected to be shared with the Kona EV as it produces 138 hp and 255 Nm. The battery will be shared by LG Chem and we can expect a real-world range of 250 km.
