Who Is This Car For

  • Positioned as an electric SUV for India, building on the popularity of the Creta nameplate.
  • Offers two battery variants to cater to different range/performance needs.
  • Emphasises technology (dual screens, connected features), safety (6 airbags, ADAS), and practicality (SUV stance, boot space comparable to ICE Creta).
  • It is based on the ICE-Creta’s platform (modified for EV) rather than a dedicated EV platform.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Strong brand name (Creta) and wide service/parts network (Hyundai India).
  • Two battery choices allow flexibility (42 kWh for cost-conscious, 51.4 kWh for longer range).
  • Competitive claimed range for the segment (up to 473–510 km) in India
  • Good feature set: dual 10.25″ screens, ADAS, connected features, fast-charging support.
  • Safety: 6 airbags standard, hill start & descent control, all-4 disc brakes.

Cons

  • Because it is based on a modified ICE platform, it may carry some compromises compared to dedicated EV platforms (weight, packaging).
  • Real-world range may be lower than claimed (some tests reported  407 km when claimed up to  510 km). 
  • Fast-charging speed (50 kW DC) is decent but not class-leading.
  • Pricing is premium for the segment; there may be rivals offering better value.

Cruising Down The History

  • Hyundai India has since expanded variants and battery options (42 kWh & 51.4 kWh).
