Intro

The Hyundai Creta Electric is the brand’s most important mainstream EV yet, and that’s why the Hyundai Creta Electric matters for Indian families: real range, familiar packaging and a price that undercuts many larger EVs. With a starting price of ₹17.99 lakh and long-range variants promising up to 510 km, it’s going to make school runs, office commutes and weekend getaways electric – without lifestyle acrobatics.

Why it’s family-first

Hyundai has kept the core Creta formula intact – space for five, 433-litre boot and a cabin layout existing owners will feel at home in – then added quiet, low-vibration EV drive. The claimed range is 420–510 km across 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh batteries, which means fewer charging stops for family duty and smoother city drives. Prices starting at ₹17.99 lakh makes it a realistic step-up from feature-rich ICE compacts to electric ownership.

Range, power and home charging

Two battery options: 42 kWh (claimed 420 km) and 51.4 kWh LR (claimed up to 510 km), the car’s electric motor delivers a smooth, strong performance, with power ranging from 135 PS on the smaller battery to a punchy 171 PS on the larger one. DC fast charging takes the pack from 10–80% in 58 minutes, the 11 kW AC wallbox will handle a full charge in just 4 hours for the smaller battery, while the larger, long-range version takes about 4 hours and 50 minutes – which is still perfect for an easy overnight charge. – perfect for overnight home top-ups. You can expect practical home solutions via 7.4–11 kW AC setups depending on residence wiring and onboard charger limits, which aligns with India’s single-phase infrastructure.

Safety that reassures parents

Standard kit includes 6 airbags, ESC, TPMS and ISOFIX, while Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 ADAS adds lane keep assist, adaptive cruise and autonomous emergency braking on higher variants. All-round disc brakes and 360° camera with 3D views make city moves and highway braking more predictable and confidence-inspiring.

Price, variants and what to pick

Prices for the Creta Electric start at an attractive ₹17.99 lakh, and the top-of-the-line Knight Edition goes up to around ₹24.55 lakh. For city-centric families, the 42 kWh trims balance value and usable range; intercity travelers should look at the 51.4 kWh LR for fewer stops and better highway composure. That’s where it shines for longer family drives.

Home charging

Hyundai supports 11 kW AC charging for faster overnight charging; many Indian homes will pair well with a 7.4 kW single-phase setup if wiring permits and society approvals are in place. DC top-ups will be travel oriented while routine charging happens at home – practical, predictable and cheaper per km than petrol.

Bottomline

For Indian families who want to go electric without sacrificing space, comfort and ownership ease, the Hyundai Creta Electric is hard to ignore: familiar format, real-world range and safety tech that reduces daily stress.
