Exterior Design
The Hyundai Creta EV retains the striking design elements of the ICE Creta Facelift with key updates that distinguish it as an electric vehicle. The front features a closed-off grille, redesigned bumpers, LED positioning lamps, DRLs, and sequential turn indicators. The more upright front hood gives it a bold stance. The side profile remains largely unchanged but now includes new aero-efficient 17-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, the Creta EV boasts connected LED tail-lamps, sequential turn indicators, and an aerodynamic spoiler for a sleek finish.
Interior Features
The interior of the Hyundai Creta EV impresses with its modern and seamless design. Dual 10.25-inch displays serve as the digital cluster and infotainment system. The steering wheel, inspired by the latest Kona electric SUV, features Hyundai’s new logo for electric vehicles. A notable change is the relocation of the drive selector to the steering column from the center console. Other interior elements remain consistent with the ICE version, ensuring a familiar yet modern feel.
