When Can Nepal Expect It?

While there’s no official word on the launch date in Nepal yet, it’s safe to assume we’ll see the Creta EV cruising our streets sometime in 2025. With its practicality, advanced features, and Hyundai’s reputation for durability, this SUV will likely grab a lot of attention from local buyers.

What About Pricing?

Pricing is going to be a key factor here. In India, the Creta EV starts at INR 18 lakhs. While we don’t have an exact figure for Nepal yet, Hyundai will need to keep it competitive to make a dent in the already crowded EV market. Let’s hope for a price tag that doesn’t break the bank!

Why It Could Change Nepal’s EV Market

Hyundai’s Creta has been a household name in Nepal ever since its launch, selling over 10,000 units to date. The EV version has some big shoes to fill, but with Hyundai’s established service network and spare parts availability, it’s got all the right ingredients to succeed.

And with growing demand for EVs and increasing environmental awareness, the Creta EV might just become the next big thing on Nepal’s roads.

Wrapping It Up

The Hyundai Creta EV is more than just another electric car—it’s a signal that the future of Nepal’s roads is electric. With its impressive range, cutting-edge tech, and Hyundai’s reliability, this SUV has everything it takes to lead the EV charge.
