The Hyundai Creta EV retains much of its design from the ICE Creta Facelift, but with distinct updates for its electric variant. The front profile highlights include closed-off grille, redesigned bumpers, and LED positioning lamps, along with DRLs and sequential turn indicators for a modern look. The more upright front hood gives it a bold stance. On the sides, the Creta EV remains similar to its ICE counterpart, except for the inclusion of new aero-efficient 17-inch alloy wheels. The rear end features connected LED tail-lamps, sequential turn indicators, and an aerodynamic spoiler, enhancing its sleek profile.
Inside the Hyundai Creta EV, the dual 10.25-inch displays dominate the dashboard, serving as both the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system.
