Hyundai debuted the all-electric version of its most popular SUV, the Creta, at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The Hyundai Creta EV is a combination of learnings from the ICE version and translating it to the electric version.
The Hyundai Creta EV largely retains the silhouette of its ICE counterpart with some design cues unique to the Hyundai electric design language. There is the addition of a pixelated grille design finished in Piano Black. The bottom end of the front grille also has integrated aerodynamic flaps beside the ADAS sensor which open and close for the cooling needs of the vehicle. The front also neatly integrates the charge port.
The interior follows a similar theme with small but effective creature comforts that make it a luxurious place to spend time. The dual 10.25-inch digital displays for driver information and infotainment have a blue surrounding to signify the Electric nature of the car. The infotainment system is paired with an 8-speaker Bose Sound System which is crisp to listen to. The Steering wheel is also changed with a 3-spoke design and a Morse code logo like in the IONIQ 5. The slightly squared-off steering wheel also has the paddle shifters but they are repurposed to control the levels of Battery Regeneration.
The gear stalk is shifted to the steering column which frees up the centre console and a big cubby hold. The centre console also gets blue accents and features a floating design, housing the cupholders and ventilated seat buttons. The HVAC controls are similar to the Hyundai Alcazar which means they are touch-sensitive and give a cleaner look. The infotainment system is similar but with a different User Interface signifying the electric information. The infotainment system also integrates the In-Car Payment feature, aiding convenience.
The Creta EV supports Vehicle To Load technology that can power external devices such as a Laptop, enhancing practicality. The frunk offers a space of 22 litres which can be used to store a small set of luggage. A bigger highlight is the rear boot space which is an unchanged 433 litres. It comes with a full-size spare tyre as well which is surprising considering the electric battery generally increases the floor height. Not to mention, the rear seats’ under-thigh support has reduced but not significantly.
Hyundai has launched the Creta EV with two battery options i.e. a 42 kWh battery pack with an electric motor producing 135 HP, offering an ARAI claimed range of 390 Km and a 51.4 kWh battery pack with a more powerful 171 HP, offering an ARAI claimed range of 473 km. The long-range variant accelerates from 0-100 Km/hr in just 7.9 seconds!
The Creta EV is offered with NMC batteries, focusing on driving range over driving performance. You can also experience the 1-pedal driving mode which is the maximum level of battery regeneration, allowing you to use just the accelerator and the regeneration being so drastic that the need for the brake pedal is eliminated.
The Hyundai Creta EV supports DC Fast Charging that can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in 58 minutes. An 11 kWh AC Home charger can fully charge the battery from 10% to 100% in 4.5-5 hours.
| Variants (Rs.) | Executive | Smart | Smart(O) | Premium | Excellence |
| 42 kWh | 17,99,000 | 18,99,000 | 19,49,000 | 19,99,900 | |
| 51 kWh (LR) | 21,49,000 | 23,49,000 |
The Creta EV is also offered in eight monotone and two dual-tone colour options, including three matte finishes, providing a range of choices for consumers. The Hyundai Creta EV will compete with the likes of the Tata Curvv, Mahindra BE 6E and the Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara. It blends advanced features and competitive range, positioning it as a strong contender in the segment.
