Drawing design cues from the recently facelifted Harrier ICE, the interior will share several similarities.

Though not officially confirmed, Hyundai could unveil the electric variant of the Creta either by the end of this year or in early 2025. This addition to Hyundai’s lineup is expected to rival upcoming models such as the Curvv EV, Maruti Suzuki eVX, and its Toyota counterpart. The midsize SUV is likely to utilise a battery pack sourced from LG Chem while the electric motor may be borrowed from the base-spec Kona Electric.
