4 New Hyundai Cars For India Launching In 2025

Hyundai has confirmed its participation in the upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 and seems to have an interesting array of launches in plans for India. There will be a strong focus on electric portfolio expansion. Three highly anticipated EVs and a facelifted SUV are expected to launch in 2025. Let’s walk you through the details of these upcoming Hyundai cars.

Hyundai Creta EV

The Creta EV is one of the most anticipated launches from Hyundai in India. Based on the highly popular Creta nameplate, the EV will be Hyundai’s first mass-market electric car for the Indian market. It will make its debut at the Expo. The EV is expected to borrow a lot of its styling cues from the regular Creta. It will, however, come with a new EV-spec grille, new bumpers and fresh-looking aero-wheels.

Apparently, to keep costs under check, the EV will share a lot of its interior bits and components with the petrol/diesel models. It will, however, have Hyundai’s new age EV-spec steering wheel design and revised dashboard and centre console as well.

The electric Creta will borrow its powertrain from the previous generation Kona EV. Though unconfirmed as we speak, it is likely to come with a 48 kWh battery pack and a 134 Bhp electric motor that can produce a maximum torque of 255 Nm. With a rumoured 0-100 kph time of  8-8.5 seconds, this could be the fastest Creta ever.

Hyundai reportedly has plans to sell 2000 units of the Creta EV each month, roughly translating to less than 20% of the total volumes. Upon launch, the Creta EV will compete with the likes of Nexon.EV, MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv.EV and Maruti eVitara or Toyota Urban Electric SUVs.

Hyundai Venue EV

The carmaker is known to be working on an electric SUV based on the sub-4 meter Venue as well. It will likely become an affordable EV if launched. Not much information is out yet, about the Venue EV. The vehicle is expected to resemble the ICE version in its design. It could come with battery packs that deliver 300-350 km in range. The cabin is also known to have more features than the petrol/diesel versions.

IONIQ 6

The IONIQ 6 falls into the premium EV segment. The global spec gets two battery pack choices. It can do the 0-100 kph in just 5.1 seconds. The EV has a claimed range of 600+ km. The India-spec is known to come with a cabin that stands close to that of the global model. It will likely come with dual digital displays and a HUD. The vehicle will be showcased at Expo 2025.

Tucson Facelift

The Tucson SUV which is currently on sale in India, is known to get a facelift next year. The facelifted version will be showcased at the Expo and will get major styling and interior changes. It will new grille, new LED lighting, and possibly new wheels as well. The overall aesthetics will stand close to those of the global model. It will also come with a larger infotainment system and improved safety tech.

The powertrains will remain the same as the outgoing model- New R 2.0l VGT Diesel and 2.0l Petrol. The petrol comes mated to a 6-speed automatic while the diesel gets a better 8AT automatic gearbox. The petrol engine produces 156 PS and 192 Nm. The diesel engine is more powerful, producing 186 ps and 416 Nm.
