Hyundai Creta EV Spied Testing With 2024 Facelift-like Design
The Hyundai Creta EV testing is going on at its full swing in India. After its recent sighting, it has once again been spotted being tested on the Indian roads. The fresh test mule of the Creta EV does have the camouflage wrapping. But that doesn’t keep the crucial design aspects hidden. In fact, the latest Creta EV test mule seems to be identical to the newly launched Creta 2024 facelift model.
If we speak of the design similarities between the Creta EV and the Creta 2024 facelift model then both models have the horizontal LED lamps with DRLs (daytime running lamps), and LED turn indicators which are positioned at the front and the rear. A connected LED tail lamp module similar to the facelift model will also be present at the back of the Creta EV.
That said, the Hyundai Creta EV wouldn’t be a complete doppelganger of the Creta 2024 facelift model. Rather, it is said to feature certain design distinctions that will be limited to the EV-only variant. But the confirmed design overhaul can’t be specified at this point; except for the EV badging.
The interiors of the Creta EV e-SUV isn’t revealed by the new test mule images. But the features are said to be borrowed from the Creta 2024 facelift model. Notable inclusions could be a large digital display/ infotainment module, panoramic sunroof, ventilated and adjustable seats. The electric SUV is also expected to offer a range of smart connected tech features and dual zone climate control inside the cabin.
