Considering the government’s interest in creating a market for the bio-ethanol, there’s pressure and/or an urge to impress govt. officials.
So, some carmakers are showcasing ethanol-based cars at the expo.
The Creta Flex Fuel is something like that and it can run on up to 100% concentration of ethanol in petrol. The current petrol sold in the country contains 20% ethanol.
The Creta Flex Fuel is powered by Hyundai’s 1.0L turbo petrol engine found in the Venue and i20.
If the government mandates manufacturers to offer flex fuel vehicles, we could expect flex fuel variants of not just the Creta but also the Venue and i20 as well.
The launch timeline for this car doesn’t exist right now. And if the total cost of ownership for ethanol doesn’t come significantly down, then the launch timeline will probably remain sometime in the future for the foreseeable future.

Hyundai and TVS Motor Company are exploring a collaboration to develop electric 3-wheelers and micro 4-wheelers for the Indian market.
The 2 brands revealed the E3W and E4W concept vehicles at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
The E3W concept reimagines the traditional auto-rickshaw for various applications, including passenger transport, logistics, and emergency response.
The E3W’s design prioritises safety and practicality with enhanced collision protection, a flat floor design, and a long wheelbase.
Hyundai is considering features like heat-resistant gloss black roof paint to reduce interior temperatures and water-resistant cabin materials to withstand India’s diverse climate.
The E4W micro-4-wheeler concept resembles an electric rickshaw but features 4 wheels and a wider windshield.
It is designed for urban environments and focuses on manoeuvrability and functionality. Notably, both concepts offer wheelchair accessibility.
The potential partnership between Hyundai and TVS aims to address last-mile connectivity challenges in India with innovative and sustainable solutions.

The Nexo is another car with a futuristic powertrain technology
It runs on Hydrogen and uses fuel cell to convert it into electricity while spewing water into the atmosphere
It first went on sale in 2018 and the car is yet to get any notable improvements as the technology didn’t take off
These points make it far less exciting than some of the other cars at Hyundai’s Mobility Expo pavillion as they have a higher probability of making it to Indian Hyundai showroom
As usual, Hyundai took this opportunity to showcase their diversified powertrain options and their expertise in fuel-cell technology

Just like the Nexo, the Ioniq 5 was another one of the less interesting cars at the Hyundai pavilion
If the Ioniq 5 at the Mobility Expo had a dual-motor setup, that would have been something exciting, at least from the powertrain side but the one on display was the same as the one on sale in India for about 2 years
Hence, the Ioniq 5 takes the last spot on this list
