Hyundai has unveiled the electric Creta, reports Motor.ru.

The Creta was updated in its Indian incarnation a year ago, and now the long-announced Creta Electric has arrived to compete with electric vehicles (EVs) from Mahindra and Suzuki.

There are few details so far, but it is known that the new car has only one electric engine and an optional pair of batteries that provide up to 473 kilometers without recharging.

The electric Hyundai Creta can be recognized by its front bumper. There is no "pixel" optics with which Hyundai endows new EVs. The front and rear black panels are covered with small squares. The front fenders have active spoilers and other reflectors are visible at the rear. The rims are also unique; they measure 17 inches. The CCS Type 2 charging port is located in the front center under the Hyundai nameplate.

The interior is similar to the gasoline-powered SUV, but the gear selector has been moved to the steering column. The steering wheel is borrowed from the Hyundai Kona, and the dashboard graphics are apparently designed specifically for the “green” Creta.

As for the "technique," the new product has only one engine of unknown power, but there are two batteries: 42 and 51.4 kWh. They should provide 390 and 473 kilometers of travel, respectively, according to the Indian measurement cycle. The minimum time to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h is 7.9 seconds.

With the DC device, the Creta Electric will be charged from 10 to 80 percent in almost an hour. The capacity of such charging is 60 kilowatts.

This crossover will be presented at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in Delhi on January 17. Hyundai is expected to release new details on the launch date and pricing at that time.
