While this month's Auto Expo 2023 in New Delhi will have Hyundai showing their showstopper Ioniq5 and Ioniq6 EVs, the Korean brand has already begun work on something more mainstream for our market as far as EVs go.
Autocar Professional learns that the company has begun development of the Hyundai Creta EV, internally known as project SU2i EV which is likely to premiere at the 2025 Auto Expo.
The all-electric Creta is expected to see series production by last quarter of 2024. The EV SUV is expected to be shown in production guise at the 2025 Auto Expo following which, a market launch will take place in the first quarter of 2025.
Creta EV will rival Maruti's YY8 EV SUV
Hyundai's Creta EV will arrive at around the same time as that of Maruti Suzuki. The market leader's mid-size SUV EV codenamed YY8 is likely to premier at the mega show a few years from now. This SUV is being jointly developed with Toyota and both brands will curate their respective versions of it. As far as Creta EV goes, sources tell us that Hyundai is eyeing a modest 20,000 to 25,000 units per annum for the domestic market. Interestingly it is similar to the volumes planned by Maruti Suzuki for its upcoming EV YY8.
