Hyundai Creta EV Launch on Jan 17: Price, Range, and Features Revealed
Hyundai Creta EV Launch: Hyundai is all set to launch the much-awaited electric version of its top-selling SUV Creta on January 17, 2025. The grand unveiling will take place at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 which is scheduled from January 17 to 22 in New Delhi. This launch marks Hyundai’s increasing focus on electric vehicles (EV) and India’s shift towards cleaner and sustainable mobility solutions.
If you are someone who loves eco-friendly cars that still have style and performance, the Creta EV might be what you have been waiting for.
Design: Classic Hyundai Creta EV
Hyundai knows Creta is a household name in India, so Creta EV sticks to the SUV’s design. But there are subtle modern touches that make it an electric vehicle.
- Closed-off Front Grille: Instead of the traditional grille found in petrol or diesel models, the Creta EV has a sleek closed-off grille which improves aerodynamics and gives it a futuristic look.
- Special Alloy Wheels: The wheels are aerodynamically designed to improve efficiency and looks.
- New Bumpers: Redesigned bumpers to make it an electric SUV.
Inside Hyundai is expected to pack the Hyundai Creta EV with loads of tech. A dual-screen setup is rumoured to be the highlight with one screen for infotainment and another for a digital instrument cluster. Other features could include panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and even advanced tech like ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) for extra safety.
Performance and Range:
One of the biggest concerns about electric vehicles is range. But don’t worry Hyundai has got you covered.
Hyundai Creta EV is expected to have a battery pack of 45 kWh to 50 kWh and a range of 400 to 450 km on a single charge. For context that’s more than enough for your daily city commute and even a few outstation trips.
And power? The electric motor is expected to produce around 138 horsepower—enough to zip through city traffic or cruise on highways. This range and power combination puts Creta EV on par or even above its competition.
Charging
When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), charging infrastructure becomes a big factor. Hyundai understands this, and they strive to make using the Creta EV an easy and hassle-free experience for you.
- Charge at home: If you buy a Creta EV, Hyundai’s portable charger will be a great help. You can easily charge your car by installing it at home overnight.
- Public Charging Network: Hyundai is preparing to improve charging facilities by collaborating with charging station providers across India.
- Fast Charging: The option of fast charging can also be given in this SUV. This will make it possible to charge the vehicle in less time, especially when you have to travel long distances.
And not only this, the Creta EV may have smart technology like regenerative braking. Due to this, the battery will be recharged a little every time you apply the brakes. Apart from this, V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) technology can also be available, through which you can use the vehicle’s battery to charge a laptop or run small appliances.
Competition status and Price:
Hyundai Creta EV is entering a segment where competition is fierce. Its ex-showroom price is likely to be between ₹20-25 lakh. In this price range it will give tough competition to these vehicles:
- Tata Curve EV
- MG ZS EV
- Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara
But Hyundai’s biggest strength is the Creta’s trusted name and excellent track record. If the electric version performs as well (or better) than the petrol/diesel model, it could win the hearts of Indian customers.
Why is Creta EV special?
It’s not just another car; It is a responsibility towards the environment. In this era of increasing pollution and changing priorities, electric vehicles have no longer become a luxury but a necessity.
Hyundai Creta EV is designed keeping in mind those who want to adopt green transportation without compromising on style, comfort, and performance.
Who is Creta EV right for?
This EV is specially designed for:
- Heavy city driving: If you drive in urban traffic on a daily basis, its excellent range and low maintenance costs will make it perfect for you.
- Environment-conscious people: If you want to make your lifestyle green, then this EV will help in reducing your carbon footprint.
