Hyundai has launched its much-awaited Creta Electric SUV at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, and it’s making waves in India’s growing electric vehicle market. Priced from ₹17.99 lakh to ₹24.38 lakh (ex-showroom), this electric version of the popular Creta combines style, technology, and eco-friendly performance. With two battery options, fast charging, and advanced safety features, the Creta EV is ready to take on rivals like the Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra BE 6. Let’s dive into what makes this SUV a standout choice for Indian buyers.
Sleek Design with Electric Flair
The Creta EV looks familiar yet fresh, keeping the bold and modern design of the regular Creta but adding EV-specific touches. It features a closed-off grille with a pixelated theme, a charging port hidden behind the Hyundai logo, and 17-inch aero-optimized alloy wheels for better efficiency. The rear gets a redesigned bumper with an “Electric” badge, and buyers can choose from eight monotone and two dual-tone color options, including three matte shades. Active Air Flaps, a first in its segment, improve aerodynamics by adjusting airflow, giving it a sleek and futuristic vibe.
Tech-Packed and Comfortable Cabin
Step inside, and the Creta EV feels premium with its dual 10.25-inch screens—one for infotainment and one for the driver’s display. These screens support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making connectivity a breeze. The cabin has a dual-tone gray and navy design with ocean-blue ambient lighting, plus sustainable materials like recycled plastics and corn-based leather. Features like a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, ventilated front seats, and an eight-speaker Bose audio system add luxury. The redesigned center console includes a rotary dial for drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) and a stalk-based gear selector inspired by the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Power and Range for Every Journey
The Creta EV comes with two battery options to suit different needs. The 42 kWh battery offers a 390 km range, perfect for city drives, while the 51.4 kWh long-range version delivers an impressive 473 km (ARAI-certified). The long-range model, with 169 bhp and 255 Nm of torque, sprints from 0 to 100 kmph in just 7.9 seconds. Charging is quick—10 to 80% in 58 minutes with a DC fast charger or 4 hours for a full charge using an 11 kW AC wallbox. It also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) tech, letting you power devices like laptops or kettles.
| Specification | 42 kWh Battery | 51.4 kWh Battery |
|---|---|---|
| Range (ARAI) | 390 km | 473 km |
| Power | 135 bhp | 169 bhp |
| Torque | 255 Nm | 255 Nm |
| 0-100 kmph | – | 7.9 seconds |
| Charging (10-80%, DC) | 58 minutes | 58 minutes |
| Charging (10-100%, AC) | 4 hours | 4 hours |
Top-Notch Safety with ADAS
Safety is a big focus for the Creta EV. It comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and ISOFIX child seat anchors as standard. The Level 2 ADAS suite, called Hyundai SmartSense, includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision warning. A 360-degree camera with 3D views and dynamic guidelines makes parking easy, while front and rear parking sensors add extra confidence. The ADAS system is well-tuned for Indian roads, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.
Why the Creta EV Stands Out
The Creta EV is more than just an electric version of Hyundai’s bestselling SUV—it’s a smart, practical, and feature-packed option for families and EV enthusiasts. With a competitive price, long range, and fast charging, it’s built for both city commutes and long drives. The 8-year/1,60,000 km battery warranty adds peace of mind, and its tech-loaded cabin makes every journey comfortable. While it misses wireless Apple CarPlay, the Creta EV’s blend of style, safety, and performance makes it a strong contender in India’s electric SUV market.
