Hyundai has officially unveiled the Creta Electric (Creta EV) ahead of its much-anticipated launch at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. This new electric SUV is set to become the most affordable EV in Hyundai’s Indian lineup, combining a familiar design with EV-specific upgrades, advanced features, and impressive performance. The Creta Electric will be available in four variants: Executive, Smart, Premium, and Excellence, catering to a range of customer needs.
The exterior design of the Creta Electric retains the overall silhouette of its ICE-powered sibling while introducing futuristic elements. The front fascia features a blanked-off grille, gloss black cubical accents, and a centrally placed charging port under the Hyundai logo. The connected LED DRLs, dual-barrel LED headlights, and tail lights enhance its modern appeal. Aerodynamically designed 17-inch alloy wheels, retractable air vents, and subtle changes like blacked-out window appliques further distinguish the EV from its ICE counterpart.
Inside, the Creta Electric boasts a dual-tone interior similar to the standard model but with notable EV-specific changes. A 3-spoke steering wheel with a drive selector lever, inspired by the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and dual digital displays elevate the cabin’s premium feel. Features like a panoramic sunroof, vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology, drive modes, and advanced safety systems make it a tech-forward offering. The safety package includes six airbags, a 360-degree camera, and Level-2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist.
Powering the Creta Electric are two battery options: a 42 kWh pack with an ARAI-rated range of 390 km and a larger 51.4 kWh pack offering a range of 473 km. Hyundai claims the Creta EV can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds. Charging the EV is convenient, with a DC fast charger capable of juicing up the battery from 10-80% in 58 minutes, while an 11 kW AC charger completes a full charge in just 4 hours.
Expected to start at ₹17 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hyundai Creta Electric will compete with rivals such as the Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV, and the upcoming Maruti e Vitara. With its sleek design, advanced features, and competitive pricing, the Creta Electric is poised to become a game-changer in India’s EV market when it debuts at Auto Expo 2025.
