Hyundai Creta EV: Powertrain Details

According to the media reports, the upcoming Creta EV is likely to use a 45kWh Lithium-ion battery, which is a bit smaller than what its main competitors use. If we talk about the MG ZS EV, it uses one larger 50.3kWh battery while the Maruti Suzuki eVX is likely to get two battery choices; an entry-level 48kWh unit and a high-end 60kWh variant.

Furthermore, the report reveals that the Creta EV will receive the same electric motor as the latest Kona EV, an entry-level model available on sale overseas. This means the Creta EV will have one motor that powers the front wheels, providing 136 bhp and 255 Nm of torque.

Hyundai Creta EV: Same Platform as ICE-Powered Model

As for the platform, the Hyundai Creta EV is likely to use the same platform as its regular, non-electric version. This means it will be built on the same architecture as the Kia Seltos, which might also have an electric version at some point.
