Upcoming Hyundai SUVs in India: Creta EV, Tucson Facelift, New-gen Alcazar and More

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), the second-largest carmaker in the country, has several new launches in the pipeline. The brand presently offers a total of five SUVs in our domestic market: Creta, Venue, Alcazar, Exter, and Tucson. In an effort to increase its market share in the SUV class, Hyundai intends to revamp the Venue, Tucson, and Alcazar models. On top of that, the manufacturer is gearing up to launch the electric Creta in the first quarter of 2025. So, without any further ado, let's take an in-depth look at all the new and updated SUVs that Hyundai will soon launch in the Indian market.

Hyundai Creta EV

Based on the SUV's revamped version, the Hyundai Creta EV is anticipated to adopt the global-spec Kona EV's drivetrain, which comes with an electric motor and a 45kWh battery pack. The EV is expected to boast a driving range of 400–500 km. Despite being essentially identical to the ICE version, the Creta EV will distinguish itself with EV-specific design elements such as a closed-off grille with a front camera, altered front and rear bumpers, and a new set of aero-optimised alloy wheels. It will also feature a charging port on the front fender.

The cabin will have a twin-screen configuration for infotainment and instrumentation, as well as a new three-spoke steering wheel with a unique logo. The drive selector lever will likely be located on the right side of the steering wheel column. Additional expected features include a reworked centre console, a redesigned dashboard, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and wireless charging.

New-gen Hyundai Alcazar 

The Hyundai Alcazar facelift will have a few modifications inside and out while keeping the current engine configuration. Multiple spy photographs show the test mule with a front radar, indicating the presence of an ADAS package. The SUV will feature reworked LED headlamps with a split arrangement, slightly altered bumpers, and new alloy wheels. Inside, the revised Alcazar will have a dual-screen display, a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, a blind spot monitor, an electrically adjustable driver seat, and an electronic parking brake. The SUV will continue to be powered by 160bhp, 1.5-litre turbo petrol, and 116bhp, 1.5-litre diesel engines.

Hyundai Tucson Facelift

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson facelift, which is undergoing testing, will have a new front grille, headlights, and alloy wheels, among other notable design changes. Minor interior updates to the dashboard and central console might come in the form of a new steering wheel and an improved infotainment unit. The 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 160bhp, powering the new Verna and Creta may also be available for the new Tucson. However, it could continue to use the current 2.0-litre diesel engine.
