The Hyundai Creta is already a household name in India, but now it’s ready to enter the electric SUV segment. Hyundai has officially revealed the much-anticipated Creta Electric, giving us a glimpse of what’s next for one of India’s most popular SUVs. The new SUV comes with a promise of segment-leading features, a long-range battery, and a rather familiar design language. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting new launch.
Hyundai Creta Electric: Range, Performance and Design
At the heart of the Hyundai Creta Electric lies a 51.4 kWh battery pack, which delivers a 473 km range (ARAI-certified) on a single charge. The carmaker has also revealed some performance credentials. The SUV clocks a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 7.9 seconds. It’s noteworthy that Hyundai has incorporated Active Air Flaps into the Creta Electric’s design. These flaps improve aerodynamics by reducing drag, which, in turn, boosts efficiency and range. This not only enhances performance but also adds a futuristic touch to the SUV’s already sharp looks.
The Creta Electric stays true to its ICE (internal combustion engine) roots with a design that feels highly familiar. At first glance, the front end closely resembles the current Creta, with the addition of a charging port neatly integrated into the fascia. The signature side pillars, sculpted fenders, and sleek alloy wheels remain, giving it the unmistakable Creta silhouette. The LED DRLs and headlamp setup also borrow heavily from the ICE variant, but Hyundai is expected to introduce subtle tweaks to set the EV apart. From what we’ve seen in the new video, the Creta EV retains its commanding road presence while hinting at its eco-friendly persona.
Interior
Even the interior of the Hyundai Creta Electric seems . Hyundai is likely to equip the cabin with dual displays—one for the driver’s instrument cluster and another for the infotainment system. A highlight here will be the stalk-type gear shifter. Adding to the list of anticipated features are ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a 360-degree camera. These creature comforts ensure the Creta Electric remains a class leader in terms of interior sophistication and convenience. The SUV will even come with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), which includes bits like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking.
One standout feature of the Creta Electric is its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability. This tech essentially allows the car to act as a portable power source. This practical feature helps you charge your gadgets or run a small electrical appliance.

Launch Details and Competition
The Creta Electric is set to make its debut at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. While pricing details are yet to be revealed, Hyundai could be looking at an aggressive positioning in the EV market with an aim to offer strong value for money. When it arrives, the Creta Electric will go head-to-head with rivals like the MG ZS EV, Tata Nexon EV, and even the upcoming model Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara
My Thoughts
Hyundai has hit all the right notes with the Creta Electric. From its 473 km range to features like V2L and ADAS, it’s clear that the carmaker looks set to create a buzz. Of course, pricing would remain a key factor, but the traditional Creta virtues could help the new variant find more success than the Kona Electric. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach its official launch!
