About the HE1i
The Hyundai HE1i is an upcoming compact sub-4-metre electric SUV scheduled to launch in January 2027 at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Built on the localised E-GMP (K) platform at Hyundai's Sriperumbudur facility in Tamil Nadu, it will use Exide-sourced batteries as part of the 'Make in India' initiative. Positioned below the Creta Electric, it will be offered in standard and long-range variants with competitive pricing expected below ₹25 lakh for top variants.
Expert Take — should you wait for it?
The HE1i could be a gamechanger in India's mass-market EV segment, targeting rivals like Tata Nexon EV, Punch EV, and Mahindra XUV 3XO EV. With aggressive localisation promising competitive pricing and Hyundai's reliability backing, this could be worth waiting for if you're planning an EV purchase in the sub-₹25 lakh bracket. The high localisation and Exide battery partnership should help keep costs down while offering the latest EV technology.
