Hyundai is taking a bold step towards shaping the future of electric mobility in India with the much-anticipated launch of the Creta EV. Following the global success of the Creta,
Hyundai is now ready to electrify one of its most popular SUV models, offering a combination of sleek design, cutting-edge technology, and sustainable driving.
The Hyundai Creta EV aims to bring the best of both worlds: the rugged appeal of an SUV and the eco-friendly performance of an electric vehicle (EV).
Powerful Performance with Zero Emissions
The Creta EV will be powered by a high-performance electric drivetrain, offering an impressive range of up to 500 kilometers on a single charge (based on global testing standards).
This range is expected to be more than sufficient for the average daily commute, while also catering to longer weekend drives, making the Creta EV an ideal choice for those transitioning to electric vehicles without compromising on the convenience and freedom of long-distance travel.
The vehicle will feature a fast-charging system, allowing it to recharge up to 80% in just 30 minutes using a fast charger. This cutting-edge charging technology is set to make the Creta EV one of the most practical EVs in its segment, especially in the context of India’s evolving EV charging infrastructure.
The Creta EV’s powertrain is expected to deliver a punchy 150-180 horsepower, offering smooth and responsive acceleration. With an electric motor producing around 300 Nm of torque, the SUV promises excellent driving dynamics, whether navigating city streets or taking on rougher terrains.
Modern Design with an Electric Twist
The exterior design of the Creta EV retains the bold, muscular stance that has made the Creta one of India’s favorite SUVs, with subtle tweaks that differentiate it from the internal combustion engine (ICE) version.
The Creta EV will feature a sleek front grille with an illuminated Hyundai logo, a distinctive closed-off grille for better aerodynamics, and sharp LED headlamps with dynamic DRLs (Daytime Running Lights).
The body is designed to enhance efficiency and range, with aerodynamic improvements such as a smooth underbody and rear spoilers that contribute to reducing drag.
The EV-specific alloy wheels also add a touch of style while optimizing energy efficiency. The Creta EV will come in a range of vibrant color options, including new hues designed specifically for its electric variant.
Futuristic Cabin with Advanced Tech
Inside, the Creta EV takes the cabin experience to the next level. The spacious, tech-filled interior will feature a 12.3-inch digital touchscreen infotainment system
that supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a suite of connected car features. These include remote vehicle management, real-time battery health updates, and the ability to control climate settings remotely.
The Creta EV will also come with a fully digital instrument cluster, providing essential information such as battery percentage, range estimation, energy consumption, and more in a sleek and easy-to-read format.
In addition, the SUV will be equipped with premium features such as wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, leather upholstery, and auto-climate control, offering a premium driving experience for the whole family.
Advanced Safety Features
As expected from Hyundai, the Creta EV will be loaded with safety features, ensuring the protection of both driver and passengers. The SUV will come equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and emergency braking.
For occupant safety, the vehicle will feature multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC (Electronic Stability Control), and hill-start assist. With the added benefit of a high-strength steel frame and Hyundai’s SmartSense safety technology, the Creta EV is expected to offer top-notch crash protection and a reassuring sense of safety.
Sustainability Meets Affordability
The Creta EV is expected to offer competitive pricing, making electric mobility more accessible to a wider range of consumers. Hyundai aims to strike a balance between premium features and affordability, providing a compelling alternative to traditional ICE vehicles in the SUV segment.
The carmaker will also offer various financial incentives for customers, such as government subsidies under India’s FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) scheme,
as well as attractive low-cost servicing plans. The Creta EV is not just an environmentally friendly option but also a smart financial choice for the cost-conscious buyer.
Expanding the EV Ecosystem in India
The launch of the Creta EV is part of Hyundai’s larger strategy to push for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles in India. Hyundai aims to strengthen its position in the rapidly growing electric mobility market, alongside its other EV offerings like the Hyundai Kona Electric.
The company is also expected to collaborate with key stakeholders to expand the EV charging network across India, ensuring that the Creta EV’s customers can enjoy a hassle-free ownership experience.
With the continued growth of charging infrastructure, the Creta EV will be well-positioned to become a mainstream electric vehicle choice in the country.
A Green Future on the Horizon
With the Creta EV, Hyundai is setting the stage for a new era of electric SUVs in India. This new electric variant combines Hyundai’s deep expertise in the SUV segment with the cutting-edge performance of electric mobility,
delivering an exciting option for eco-conscious consumers without compromising on the features and style they expect from a modern SUV.
The Creta EV is expected to hit showrooms in early 2025, and its arrival will mark a significant milestone in India’s journey towards sustainable and electric mobility.
Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly electric vehicle or an exciting, tech-forward SUV, the Creta EV promises to deliver a driving experience that’s both thrilling and eco-friendly.
