Inside, the Hyundai Creta Electric gets a Granite Gray and Dark Navy dual-tone theme along with ocean blue ambient lighting on the console. The open design of the centre console exudes roominess. The EV shares the instrumentation with its ICE sibling. It gets 10.25-inch displays for the touchscreen infotainment system and the digital instrument cluster. Other features on the SUV include Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC), 8-way powered front seats, driver memory seat, powered passenger seat walk-in device, digital key, auto-dimming IVRM, and more.

There is a Level 2 ADAS package on board with 19 safety features.

As mentioned earlier, Hyundai Creta Electric is available in 2 battery sizes. The 42kWh battery pack offers a 390km range while the 51.4kWh battery pack can power the SUV for 473km on a full charge. The EV is powered by a single motor mounted on the front axle. This electric motor produces a maximum power output of 171hp and 255Nm of torque on the bigger battery variants. These variants can accelerate from 0-100kmph in 7.9 seconds. The 42kWh battery variants put out 135hp.

Using a 50kW DC charger, both battery packs can be charged from 10-80% in 58 minutes. A 100kW DC charger can accomplish the same feat in 39 minutes. The 11kW home charger can fully charge the 42kWh battery pack in 4 hours and 51.4kWh battery pack in 4 hours and 50 minutes. Both battery packs are rated IP67 for dust and water resistance.

Speaking at the launch of Hyundai Creta Electric, Mr Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, HMIL, said, “CRETA Electric marks a defining moment in HMIL’s journey of electrification and reflects our commitment to the government’s ‘Make in India’ vision, as it is our first indigenous EV SUV in India.
