The automaker has also commenced pre-bookings for the electric SUV ahead of its expected launch at theBharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.

Design Updates

The Creta Electric largely mirrors the design of the 2024 Hyundai Creta, albeit with a few notable differences.

The side profile remains similar to its internal combustion counterpart but boasts newly designed 17-inch aero alloy wheels. At the rear, the SUV retains its signature tail lights but includes a reworked bumper to distinguish it as an EV.

Under the bonnet, the Creta Electric will house a 51.4 kWh battery, delivering an ARAI-certified range of 473 kilometres. However, in normal driving conditions, it achieves an estimated range of 392 kilometres on a full charge. A secondary 42 kWh battery variant offers a certified range of 390 kilometres. Charging options include DC fast charging, enabling the battery to go from 10% to 80% in just 58 minutes, and an 11kW Smart Connected wall box charger, which fully charges the battery in approximately four hours.

The Creta Electric will feature three driving modes: Eco, Normal, and Sports. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a swift 7.9 seconds, although Hyundai has not yet disclosed motor output figures.

Inside, the Creta Electric retains the dual-screen setup for its infotainment and instrument cluster, similar to the ICE version, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Enhancements include a new dual-spoke steering wheel, an electric panoramic sunroof, Level-2 ADAS, and a 360-degree surround-view camera.
