The Hyundai Creta Electric SUV is making waves in India’s fast-growing EV scene. Launched in early 2025, it combines the Creta’s bold look with electric efficiency. Is it the right pick for your next car? Let’s explore what sets this SUV apart.
Eye-Catching Style Meets EV Smarts
The Creta Electric keeps the classic Creta vibe but adds EV flair. It’s closed-off grille boosts aerodynamics, while sharp LED headlights and 17-inch aero wheels give it a modern edge. A new Electric Green shade makes it stand out.
The interior feels upscale with dual 10.25-inch displays for navigation and driver info. Sustainable fabric seats and a clean dashboard design impress, though the vehicle-to-load (V2L) outlet’s rear placement is a bit awkward.
Performance and Range That Deliver
Hyundai offers two battery packs: a 40 kWh option with a 370 km range and a 53 kWh version reaching up to 460 km. The larger battery, paired with a 165 hp motor, hits 0-100 km/h in 8.1 seconds—quick enough for daily drives.
With 50 kW DC fast charging, you’re at 80% in about 55 minutes. A full charge via an 11 kW home charger takes roughly 4.5 hours. Expect 350-410 km in real-world conditions, perfect for urban commuters.
Tech and Safety That Shine
This SUV is packed with goodies: a panoramic sunroof, cooled front seats, and a premium 8-speaker audio system. Hyundai’s SmartSense Level 2 ADAS offers lane assist and adaptive cruise control. Six airbags and a surround-view camera keep safety first.
Eco, Normal, and Sport modes tweak the driving feel. The i-Pedal system makes one-pedal driving smooth, though the handling isn’t as sharp as some pure EV platforms.

Should You Buy It?
Starting at ₹18.2 lakh and topping out at ₹24.5 lakh, the Creta Electric rivals the Tata Curvv EV and MG ZS EV. Its familiar design and loaded cabin make it a great family pick. Low running costs sweeten the deal compared to petrol SUVs.
As someone who’s tested countless cars, I find the Creta Electric a solid all-rounder. It’s not built from scratch as an EV, so it misses some rivals’ agility. Still, its range, comfort, and tech make it a fantastic choice for families new to EVs. Take it for a spin—you might be pleasantly surprised.
