The EVs have been dominating the Indian market, but recently at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo something else caught the eyes of many. Flex-fuel vehicles are the type of cars/SUVs that are powered by a blend of ethanol and petrol. Brands like Hyundai, Mahindra, and Tata showcased flex-fuel editions of their current models. 

Let's go through the list of flex-fuel cars unveiled in 2025. 

Hyundai Creta Flex Fuel

The Creta lineup by Hyundai has now moved beyond just being an SUV powered by turbo petrol, diesel, and electric to flex-fuel. The automakers showcased the flex-fuel Creta edition which is compatible with running on a blend of up to E100 i.e. 100 per cent ethanol fuel. This shows the commitment of the brand to evolve further and into a greener future of mobility.
