Design:
At first glance, Hyundai Creta Electric looks a lot like its petrol sibling but a closer look reveals some smart updates that give it a distinct design. The front fascia has a closed-off grille, a design element common to EVs, and a sleek LED light strip that runs across the width of the car. The active air flaps in the bumper not only improve aerodynamics but also cool the battery, a segment-first feature.
The side profile retains the Creta’s muscular stance but gets aero-optimized alloy wheels and blacked-out pillars for a sporty touch. At the rear, the connected LED taillights and redesigned bumper give it a modern look. Hyundai is also offering Creta Electric in 10 color options, 3 matte, and 2 dual tones so you can choose one that matches your style.
Hyundai hasn’t compromised on safety either. The Creta Electric has a strong body structure made of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and High Strength Steel (HSS). It has six airbags, a 360-degree camera, and a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that includes features like Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Smart Cruise Control. Additional safety features like hill-start assist, electronic stability control, and tire pressure monitoring system ensure you’re always in safe hands.
Interior:
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a cabin that’s luxurious and features. The dual-tone Granite Grey and Dark Navy theme with ocean blue ambient lighting gives a calm yet premium feel. The highlight is the dual 10.25-inch curved displays one for the infotainment system and the other for the digital driver’s cluster. These screens are not just pretty but also packed with features like voice commands, in-car payment, and Hyundai’s Bluelink connectivity which has over 70 connected car features.
Hyundai Creta Electric also focuses on comfort and convenience. 8 way-powered front seats with memory function, ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof make every drive enjoyable. And the use of eco-friendly seat upholstery shows Hyundai’s commitment to a greener tomorrow. 433-litre boot space and an additional 22-litre frunk (front trunk) you have enough space for your luggage and gadgets.
Performance:
The Hyundai Creta Electric has two battery options: 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh. The smaller battery gives you 390 km, while the bigger battery gives you 473 km, as per ARAI ratings. In real-world conditions, you’ll get slightly lower numbers but these are still impressive for a mid-size SUV.
The electric motor puts out 135 PS with the smaller battery and 171 PS with the bigger one, so it’s a smooth and powerful drive. The Creta Electric can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds, which is faster than the petrol version. Features like regenerative braking, i-Pedal (which lets you drive on one pedal), and a battery heater for cold weather conditions make the driving experience even better.
Battery and Charging:
When it comes to charging, Hyundai has you covered. The 11 kW AC wall box charger can fully charge the battery in 4 hours, while a 100 kW DC fast charger can charge it from 10% to 80% in 39 minutes. With over 10,000 charging points across India, range anxiety is a thing of the past.
Price and Variants:
The Hyundai Creta Electric comes in four variants: Executive, Smart, Premium, and Excellence. Prices start at Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant and go up to Rs 23.5 lakh for the top-end Excellence with the long-range battery. The mid-spec Smart (O) variant has both battery options so it’s a great choice for those who want a balance of performance and affordability.
It competes with other popular electric SUVs in the Indian market like the Tata Curvv EV and Mahindra BE 6, offering a balance of style, technology, and practicality. With its looks, features, performance, and price, it’s going to be a hot favorite among Indian EV car buyers.
