The Hyundai Creta EV, a groundbreaking addition to India’s burgeoning electric vehicle market, is poised to redefine the segment with its impressive range, advanced technology, and stylish design. This article delves into the key aspects of this exciting new model, from its powertrain and range to its safety features and luxurious interior.
Powertrain and Performance
The Creta EV boasts two robust battery options. The base model utilizes a 42kWh battery pack coupled with a 99kW electric motor, delivering a commendable range of 390 kilometers on a single charge. For those seeking extended range, a more powerful 51.4kWh battery pack is available, paired with a 126kW motor that pushes the range to an impressive 473 kilometers. This potent combination ensures effortless acceleration, with the Creta EV capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 7.9 seconds. Charging options are equally impressive. An 11kW AC home wall box can completely top up the battery in approximately 4 hours, while DC fast charging enables 10-80% filling within 58 minutes. That certainly helps with overcoming range anxiety for many buyers considering an electric vehicle.
Safety and Technology
Safety remains paramount in the Creta EV. Hyundai has equipped this electric SUV with an extensive suite of advanced safety features, including a reassuring six airbags, all-wheel disc brakes for optimal stopping power, and essential driver-assistance systems such as hill-start assist, hill-descent control, and electronic stability control (ESC). Furthermore, the Creta EV integrates a Level-2 Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS), enhancing safety and providing a more confident driving experience.
Interior and Comfort
The cabin inside the Creta EV has an upscale feel, with the style of dual-tone grey and dark navy evoking a sense of premium feel. A wide, prominent dashboard displays two 10.25-inch screens side by side, and the top one is more used for the infotainment interface, and the bottom screen has all information a driver may require.
Complementing the tech-forward interior is a premium Bose 8-speaker audio system that delivers an immersive listening experience. The Creta EV features a cooled glove box for added convenience, ensuring refreshments stay chilled during those long journeys.
Pricing and Variants
The Creta EV is offered in four distinct variants to cater to diverse customer needs and budgets. The base Executive model with the 42kWh battery starts at Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The Smart variant is priced at Rs 18.99 lakh, followed by the Smart (O) at Rs 19.49 lakh, and the Premium variant at Rs 19.99 lakh. For those seeking extended range, the Smart (O) variant with the 51.4kWh battery is available at Rs 21.49 lakh, while the top-of-the-line Excellence variant is priced at Rs 23.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Conclusion Hyundai Creta EV marks a massive step forward for electric vehicles in India. This is because, at its first cut, the Creta boasts a range, robust performance, enhanced safety, and a well-luxurious interior that make it an alluring proposition both for early adopters and more discerning SUV buyers. Going forward, this car will form the bedrock for driving sustainable mobility solutions adoption across the country.
