Hyundai has finally pulled the wraps off its much-anticipated Creta EV, a move poised to shake up the SUV market in India. Priced competitively at Rs 19.06 lakh (on-road, Mumbai), the electric Creta offers two battery pack options, promising a combination of style, performance, and cutting-edge features. Here’s everything you need to know about this game-changer.
The new Hyundai Creta EV comes in four distinct variants to cater to a diverse audience: Executive, Smart, Premium, and Excellence. Pricing starts at an introductory Rs 19.06 lakh for the 42 kWh battery pack model, while the top-spec long-range version with a 51 kWh battery is priced at Rs 25 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
While the new Creta retains much of its design DNA from its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart, it features several EV-specific enhancements. Hyundai’s signature pixel design philosophy makes its mark on the closed-off front grille and integrated charging port. Active air flaps improve aerodynamics, ensuring both performance and efficiency. The connected LED DRLs and taillamps have been revamped for a fresh, modern look, complemented by stylish new 17-inch alloy wheels.
Step inside, and the Creta EV greets you with a premium navy blue and white color scheme that distinguishes it from the ICE model. The dashboard layout remains familiar yet futuristic, offering a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and electrically adjustable front seats, and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Other notable features include a floating center console, a sleek three-spoke steering wheel, and a shift-by-wire gear selector. For added convenience, the EV offers a spacious 22-litre front trunk (frunk) and adaptive regenerative braking linked to its ADAS technology. Hyundai’s innovative “car-as-a-payment” feature allows seamless payments at EV charging stations.
The 2025 Hyundai Creta EV comes equipped with two battery options. The 42 kWh battery pack is paired with a motor generating 133 bhp, delivering a range of 390 km. The 51 kWh battery pack features a more powerful 169 bhp motor and boasts a range of 473 km. To address charging efficiency in colder climates, Hyundai has included a battery heater, ensuring optimal performance in all conditions.
The Creta EV is more than just an electric SUV; it’s Hyundai’s bold statement in India’s growing EV segment. With a blend of premium features, impressive range, and thoughtful design, it’s set to challenge established players and redefine expectations in the mid-size SUV category. If you’re ready to embrace the future of mobility, the Hyundai Creta EV should be at the top of your list. Are you ready for the ride?
