Since EVs will be essential in the near future, their popularity is on the rise. According to rumours, Hyundai is developing an electric Hyundai Creta that will compete with the MG ZS EV in 2025.

Hyundai Creta Electric, also known as SU2i EV internally, is already under development. It has since been spotted again, this time with very little camouflage.
The test mule for the Hyundai Creta EV is dressed in the same style as the current Creta. By the time it is released, the design will likely have changed.

If so, a 100 kW electric motor that produces about 136 hp of power and 395 Nm of torque will power the Creta EV. The Creta Electric’s single charge will extend its range to more than 400 km.
The Hyundai Creta EV is expected to sell around 25,000 units annually, according to Hyundai. Hyundai Creta Electric mass production could begin by 2024’s end. The final product may be displayed at the 2025 Auto Show. Hyundai is creating the e-GMP platform in addition to the Creta EV for scalability in both domestic and international markets. There will be a lot of competition for Hyundai’s cost-effective Creta Electric by 2025.
First and foremost, the electric Maruti YY8 SUV, which goes on sale around the same time as the Hyundai Creta EV.
