The global automotive landscape is witnessing a significant shift towards electric vehicles, and Hyundai is at the forefront of this revolution.
With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, the South Korean automaker is gearing up to launch a trio of exciting electric models in the Indian market.
1. Hyundai Creta EV, A Game-Changer in the Making
The Hyundai Creta EV, a highly anticipated electric version of the popular Creta SUV, is set to make its debut in India in 2025.
While the exterior design is likely to remain largely unchanged, the Creta EV will feature several electric-specific enhancements to differentiate it from its gasoline-powered counterpart.
Under the hood, the Creta EV is expected to offer a choice between single and dual-motor configurations, providing a range of up to 500 km on a single charge.
The electric motor could be borrowed from the Hyundai Kona Electric, ensuring a powerful and efficient performance.
2. Hyundai Bayon-Based Crossover, A Compact Electric Option
Hyundai is also planning to launch a new electric crossover SUV based on the global spec Bayon model.
This compact crossover will compete directly with the Maruti Suzuki Fronx and Tata Nexon EV in the Indian market.
The Bayon-based crossover will likely share its platform and design elements with the Hyundai i20. However, it will feature a more SUV-like stance and enhanced ground clearance.
The vehicle is expected to offer a range of features and amenities, making it a compelling option for customers seeking a stylish and affordable electric SUV.
3. Mahindra XUV700 Rival, A Three-Row Electric SUV
To take on the popular Mahindra XUV700 in the three-row SUV segment, Hyundai is reportedly developing a localized version of the Tucson 7-seater extended wheelbase.
This spacious SUV will offer ample room for passengers and cargo, making it a suitable choice for families and those who need a versatile vehicle.
The Mahindra XUV700 rival is expected to feature a powerful diesel engine and offer a range of advanced features and technologies. Its competitive pricing will be a key factor in determining its success in the Indian market.
Hyundai’s Electric Ambitions
With these upcoming electric models, Hyundai is demonstrating its commitment to the electric vehicle revolution.
The company’s focus on innovation, technology, and customer satisfaction positions it well to become a leading player in the Indian electric vehicle market.
As the demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, Hyundai’s electric offerings are poised to make a significant impact.
