Hyundai Motor Company is gearing up to introduce an electric version of its popular SUV, the Creta, as part of its broader push to expand its electric vehicle (EV) offerings, the automaker announced Tuesday.
The electric Creta, expected to hit the market in the coming months, will be Hyundai’s latest addition to its growing EV lineup. The company has also revealed plans to manufacture three additional electric models in the near future.
The Creta EV will be positioned as a mid-tier option, targeting buyers seeking a balance between affordability and performance. Hyundai aims to cater to the increasing demand for electric vehicles in markets such as India, where the Creta has already established a strong foothold.
Hyundai officials said the new model will offer a competitive range and state-of-the-art features to rival other vehicles in its class. Specific details about pricing and battery capacity have not yet been disclosed, but the automaker hinted at a focus on sustainability and cost-efficiency.
The move aligns with Hyundai’s global strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, with a significant portion of its product portfolio transitioning to electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles. The company has been investing heavily in EV production facilities and technology to maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving automotive market.
The Creta EV is expected to debut at an upcoming auto show before production begins at Hyundai’s manufacturing plants. Market analysts suggest the vehicle could be a game-changer in emerging markets, where demand for affordable EVs continues to rise.
Hyundai’s latest initiative underscores its commitment to expanding its presence in the electric mobility sector, with plans for further innovations and collaborations in the coming years.
