Hyundai Creta EV

The Creta EV looks like its ICE sibling, featuring connected LED DRLs, vertically arranged dual-barrel LED headlights, and linked LED taillights. However, it stands with a smooth, closed-off grille, glossy black accents bridging the headlights, and a charging port positioned centrally beneath the Hyundai logo.

To optimise the aerodynamics and cool the electric motor and battery, the lower grille incorporates four retractable air vents. Unlike its ICE counterpart, the EV does not include front fog lamps or a faux silver skid plate. Other notable features include 17-inch alloy wheels, a side silver skid plate, and a newly designed bumper with pixel-like detailing.

The Creta EV's interior has a dual-tone theme, a three-spoke steering wheel with a drive selector lever, a panoramic sunroof, and two displays, among other features.
