Intro

The Hyundai Creta Electric just got more variants, three to be exact, to give you more choices on range, features and price. If the brief is a family friendly electric SUV that doesn’t feel like a leap of faith, the Hyundai Creta Electric now checks more boxes – especially with Level 2 ADAS and two battery sizes to ease daily use and highway confidence. The headline is simple: top-tier tech and expanded range are now accessible without venturing into premium brand territory.

New variants and positioning

Hyundai has added three trims – Excellence (42 kWh), Executive Tech (42 kWh) and Executive (O) with the 51.4 kWh pack to make the ladder more linear. The updated lineup now runs from ₹18.02 lakh to ₹24.39 lakh (ex-showroom), reinforcing the Creta Electric’s position in the mass-market EV segment. For anyone moving from ICE to EV this spread makes it easier to pick a spec that matches your commute and feature priorities.

Battery, range and performance

Two battery options. The 42 kWh pack is for urban duty with a claimed range of up to 420 km and the 51.4 kWh pack for those who mix in regular intercity runs. Output varies by trim. With the 42 kWh setup, output is rated at 135 PS (133 bhp) and 200 Nm, which feels punchy around town and quick off the line. The 51.4 kWh versions step up to as much as 171 PS (169 bhp) and 255 Nm, giving easier mid-range shove for relaxed highway passes.In short: the smaller battery saves money and weight; the bigger one buys peace of mind.

Tech and features that matter

Level 2 Hyundai SmartSense ADAS leads the updates, brings in lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise and forward collision mitigation into the mainstream. A Surround View Monitor (SVM) helps reduce parking stress in tight urban spots, while wireless smartphone integration ensures seamless connectivity. New Matte Black and Shadow Grey shades add showroom appeal and the familiar 5 seater layout and practical boot keeps family usability front and centre.

Price, rivals and the value case

With prices ranging from ₹18.02 lakh to ₹24.39 lakh (ex-showroom), the Creta Electric directly competes with the MG ZS EV and upcoming mass-market e-SUVs, while undercutting premium brands. The broader variant map matters because feature parity is fast becoming table stakes in electric SUV India – ADAS, long legged range options and a polished cabin is now the shortlist. The pitch is clear: accessible pricing with features that feel a step up.
