Hyundai to launch Small Electric SUV, New Creta and Bayon CNG in Early 2027
Hyundai HE1i small electric SUV arriving by March 2027 Bayon CNG launch scheduled for January 2027 Next-gen Creta likely debut at the next Bharat Mobility Global Expo
Hyundai Motor India is aiming to introduce two all-new SUVs, including an all-new compact electric SUV and the next-gen Creta in the country in early 2027. Adding to it, the company has also confirmed that the newly-launched Bayon compact SUV will receive a CNG powertrain in January 2027. The South Korean brand will introduce its first localised small electric SUV, codenamed HE1i and the next-gen Hyundai Creta with petrol and diesel powertrains. Both models could be revealed at the 2027 Bharat Mobility Global Expo.
1. Hyundai Small Electric SUV (HE1i): First Localised Born-EV
Expected Debut: January 2027
Estimated Price Tag: Rs 12 Lakh - Rs 18 Lakh (Ex-Showroom)
Competition: Kia Syros EV, Tata Nexon EV
Platform: E-GMP (K) platform - localised born-EV architecture
Battery Option: Likely 42 kWh & 49 kWh
EV Range: 350-400km Real-World Driving Range
Key Details
Boxy Design & High Ground Clearance: The spy images reveal that the new Hyundai HE1i compact SUV comes with an upright, boxy stance with split vertical LED headlamps, closed-off EV front, flatter roofline, squared tail, 17-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels, and an integrated glass sunroof.
Interiors: the new Hyundai electric SUV will mark the debut of Hyundai’s Pleos Connect infotainment system with a floating touchscreen panel. In terms of features, the SUV gets a twin-spoke steering wheel featuring Morse Code lighting indicators, ventilated front seats, LEVEL 2 ADAS tech, automatic climate control, powered driver’s seat and others.
The new Hyundai compact electric SUV is expected to be offered with 42 kWh and 49 kWh battery packs. It will be locally produced at Hyundai’s Chennai production facility to keep initial purchase costs under control.
Hyundai Bayon CNG
Launch Timeline: January 2027
Expected Price Premium: around 1 lakh over corresponding petrol variants
Competition: Maruti Victoris CNG
Engine: 1.5L NA petrol engine
Gearbox: 6-speed manual
Mileage: approximately 28 km/kg
Key Details
Underbody twin-cylinder setup: the ICE-powered Bayon has a segment-leading 505-litres of boot space. The CNG version is expected to feature an underbody CNG tank or dual-CNG cylinders to free up usable boot space.
1.5L Engine Refinement: the Hyundai Bayon CNG will use the same 1.5L NA petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The engine is expected to offer around 96-97bhp and 123Nm of torque. The CNG version will deliver lower running costs for daily commuters.
Next-gen Hyundai Creta
Launch Timeline: H1, 2027
Expected Price: Rs 11.50 lakh - Rs 25 lakh
Competition: Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra
Platform: New K3 Architecture same as the new Kia Seltos
Engine Options: 1.5L NA Petrol, 1.5L Turbo Petrol and 1.5L Diesel (Hybrid could join the line-up at a later date)
Key Details
K3 Architectures: The next-gen Hyundai Creta will be based on the brand’s updated K3 platform that also underpins the new Kia Seltos. The spy images confirm that the next model will ride on an extended wheelbase, resulting into roomier cabin and bigger boot. It will also offer an improved high-speed crash protection.
Upmarket Positioning: As the Bayon is priced between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 18 lakh, the next-gen Hyundai Creta will go upmarket and is expected to measure over 4.4 meters in length. The SUV will also get upmarket features like flush door handles, a revised dashboard layout, powered “Boss Mode” rear seat controls, and others.
Strong Hybrid Option: The new Creta will retain the existing 1.5L naturally-aspirated petrol, 1.5L turbo petrol and 1.5L CRDi diesel engines. Hyundai is also developing a new 1.5-litre self-charging strong hybrid powertrain, which will power the new Creta and Seltos.
