A test mule of the Creta EV has been spotted testing in India with an ADAS sensor installed on the front bumper. The SUV has several EV-specific features, including a closed-off grille, a front fender-mounted charging port, and aero alloy wheels. Besides this, it closely resembles its ICE counterpart, featuring roof rails, split LED headlamps, interconnected LED taillamps, and a rear spoiler with an integrated stop lamp.
