Hyundai has showcased the Creta Flex Fuel SUV at the ongoing Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. This version of the popular SUV is designed to run on both 100% petrol and 100% ethanol. The Creta Flex Fuel is already available in select South American markets, where higher ethanol blends are widely used.
Hyundai Creta Flex Fuel: What we know so far
From the outside, the Creta Flex Fuel retains the same design as the standard ICE version. However, under the hood, it is powered by a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, which has been specially optimized to handle up to 100% ethanol blends. This engine, also doing its job in the Hyundai Venue, delivers an output of 120 hp and 172 Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are handled by a six-speed automatic gearbox.
