The silhouette of the electric iteration will be identical to that of the ICE version of the Creta and certain design elements will also be common between the two. However, the Creta Electric gets a few EV bits to set itself apart. The connected LED lighting elements up front and at the rear are similar to those of its ICE counterpart. Positioned below the connected headlights are vertically stacked LED headlamps. The Creta Electric sports a closed-off grille and aerodynamic 17-inch alloy wheels. 

The electric SUV will be available in as many as 8 monotone colours and 2 dual-tone hues!

Creta Electric: Interior And Features 

The electric Creta’s dashboard design and layout is likely to be similar to that of the ICE version. The electric SUV features a dual-screen setup and a dual-tone theme for the cabin. Overall, the vibe of the cabin will be very much similar to that of the ICE Creta, barring the minor tweaks here and there.  

There won’t be any shortage or compromises in terms of the amenities on offer. The Creta Electric comes with a features list similar to that of the ICE Creta, which in itself is a very well-equipped SUV. Top expected features include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a wireless phone charger, dual-zone climate control, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a panoramic sunroof.
