Hyundai has released information about the future Creta Electric’s specifications, features, interior design, and available safety technology in addition to the vehicle’s power numbers. One of the most well-liked SUVs in India will debut its electric variant at the Auto Expo 2025 on January 17.
Power Figures
Hyundai’s brand-new Creta Electric is here to demonstrate that performance doesn’t have to be sacrificed for environmental sustainability. Here are the specifications for the two battery alternatives that are available:
51.4 kWh Long-Range Battery: The e-motor has a 473 km range and produces 171 PS of power (ARAI).
42 kWh Battery: The e-motor has a 390 km range and generates 135 PS of power (ARAI).
With a long-range version’s 0-100 km/h sprint time of under 7.9 seconds, this SUV offers thrills that can compete with certain gasoline-powered rivals. With a home 11kW AC charger, you can go from 10 percent to full charge in 4 hours, while fast charging with a DC charger gets you from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 58 minutes.
Safety Tech
With a wide range of cutting-edge and standard features, the Hyundai Creta Electric was created with safety as its top priority.
Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Collision Warning, and Forward Collision Warning are all part of the Level 2 ADAS. The e-motor is also connected to the ADAS system, which uses radar to regenerate and slow down the vehicle if it detects a car in front of it. With six airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), and Hill Start/Descent Control, safety is standardised across all models. An additional degree of protection is provided by features such ISOFIX child seat anchors, the Blind-spot View Monitor (BVM), and the Surround View Monitor (SVM).
Interior: Deja-Vu?
It is not a bad thing that the Hyundai Creta Electric’s dashboard layout is similar to that of the ICE model.
With two 10.25-inch digital screens and, happily, tactile knobs for simple operation of important features like the infotainment system, it still has a sleek, contemporary style.
But like the Ioniq 5, it has a new three-spoke steering wheel with four dots, and the drive selector is mounted on the steering column.
It has a Bose eight-speaker sound system, which we have also seen in the Creta.
India is a humid country, so it’s critical to stay cool. The Creta Electric will make your trip much more comfortable with its dual-zone automatic climate control and ventilated front seats.
In contrast to the ICE model’s grey-and-white cabin with amber lighting, the electric Creta’s dashboard is done in a sleek black-and-white combination with purple ambient lighting.
What’s more awesome? Using the digital key on your smartphone or smartwatch, you may start the car as well as lock and unlock it.
A voice-activated panoramic sunroof, a cooled glove box, and i-Pedal technology for seamless one-pedal driving are further clever features.
Features
The Hyundai Creta Electric and its ICE sister, the Creta ICE, share a number of features. Its in-car payment system, however, is distinctive since it enables customers to pay for charging at more than 1,150 EV charging stations straight from the infotainment screen.
For emergencies or camping, the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability makes it easy to power devices or appliances both inside and outside the vehicle.
Over 70 connected car functions, such as over-the-air upgrades and remote charging, are available with Hyundai Bluelink.
Expected Price And Rivals
With an anticipated ex-showroom pricing of about Rs 17 lakh, the Hyundai Creta Electric will be positioned as a competitive product in India’s quickly expanding electric SUV market. With this price, it will directly compete with a number of well-known EVs, such as the Tata Curvv, the MG ZS EV, and the Mahindra BE 6. It will also likely face fierce competition from the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV and the upcoming Maruti e-Vitara, which is anticipated to offer a balance of affordability and dependability.
With the introduction of a mass-market product that is anticipated to have an impact, the Creta Electric represents a major step in Hyundai’s efforts to diversify its EV portfolio in India. The Creta Electric is poised to make a significant impact in the electric SUV market thanks to its range, feature-rich design, and strong emphasis on safety. At its official launch at the Auto Expo 2025, pricing and other specifics will be disclosed, but it already looks like a promising addition to India’s electric vehicle landscape.
