The Hyundai Creta, the top-selling SUV from the South Korean automaker, is all set to go electric in the country. The company has already released official images, specifications, and key features of the electric SUV ahead of its market launch.

Featuring EV-specific kit and an e-powertrain, this midsize electric SUV is estimated to be priced around Rs 20 lakh for the base variant and up to Rs 30 lakh for the top-end trim. The ICE-powered Creta is currently available in the price range of Rs 11 lakh – Rs 20.30 lakh (all ex-showroom).

Performance Figures
