It is no news that the Hyundai Creta Electric, the Korean carmaker’s soon-to-be most affordable EV in the Indian lineup, will be launched at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The carmaker has now fully revealed the EV showcasing the exterior and interior design, its two battery pack options, certain features and their claimed ranges.
The new Hyundai Creta Electric will be available in four broad variants: Executive, Smart, Premium and Excellence.
A Creta-like Design
The overall design of the Hyundai Creta Electric is similar to its ICE-powered Creta, featuring the same connected LED DRLs, vertically stacked dual-barrel LED headlights, and connected LED tail lights.
However, there are noticeable differences. The fascia is similar to the Creta N Line with a blanked-off grille and includes gloss black cubical elements extending between the headlights. The charging port is located in the middle, beneath the Hyundai logo.
The lower grille has four retractable air vents to enhance aerodynamics and cool the electric motor and battery components. The EV misses out on front fog lamps and a faux silver skid plate.
The 17-inch alloy wheels are aerodynamically designed, similar to those on the Tata Nexon EV. The silver window applique on the ICE version is replaced with a blacked-out finish. A silver skid plate is also present on the side.
At the rear, the tail lights are similar to the regular Creta, but the EV features a black trim under the boot gate and a redesigned bumper with pixel-like elements and a faux silver skid plate.
The Hyundai Creta Electric will feature a dual-tone interior whose layout is more or less similar to the standard car. However, there are some differences such as a 3-spoke steering wheel with a drive selector lever, similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The lower centre console is also different with tweaked controls for the electric version.
The Hyundai Creta Electric will be offered with two battery options: a 42 kWh pack with an ARAI-rated range of 390 km and a larger 51.4 kWh pack with a claimed range of 473 km. Details about the electric motor specifications are yet to be disclosed, however, Hyundai India claims the Creta EV can sprint from 0 to 100kmph in 7.9 seconds.
The carmaker has said that the EV can be juiced up from 10-80 percent in 58 minutes with a DC fast charger, while an 11 kW AC charger can charge the battery from 10 percent to full in 4 hours.
