Hyundai Creta EV: Among the buzz in the Indian automobile market, Hyundai Motor India has captured the limelight once again with the announcement of their latest venture – the launch of the Hyundai Creta Electric Vehicle (EV). Scheduled to hit the Indian roads next year on January 17, this electrifying addition is already sparking enthusiasm among car enthusiasts nationwide. Competing with the likes of Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6e, and MG ZS EV, the Creta EV promises not just a ride, but an experience.
Hyundai Creta EV: An Electric Dream
The Hyundai Creta, which already enjoys a robust fan base as a petrol SUV, is ready for an image overhaul. The new electric variant aims to mesmerize potential buyers with a design that’s distinct from its petrol counterpart while retaining Hyundai’s signature aesthetic appeal. If you’ve been intrigued by the interiors of Hyundai’s Kona EV and Alcazar, you’ll be pleased to know the Creta EV borrows some of their charm.
Range and Performance
The heart of any electric vehicle is its range. The Hyundai Creta EV is expected to carry a 45kWh battery pack extending an impressive range of up to 450 kilometers per charge. But let’s be realistic, in real-world conditions, you might find this range sitting comfortably around 350 kilometers. With a motor offering maximum power of 138bhp and a torque of 255Nm, this powerhouse ensures that your daily commute and long drives remain anxiety-free. Fast-charging options add to the allure, promising more wheel time and less wait in-between.
Hyundai Creta EV: Expected Price Range
When it comes to pricing, potential buyers can expect the Creta EV to command a market price hovering around INR 18 lakhs. Let’s face it, safety is paramount, and Hyundai seems to understand this well. The upcoming EV model is likely to be equipped with multiple airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic power steering (EPS), brake assist, 3-point seat belts, and premium disc brakes, assuring a safely secured journey for all.
Redefining Hyundai’s Legacy
Not stopping at Creta EV, Hyundai is also paving the path for another exciting model tentatively named ‘Inster EV.’ Rumored to be tagged below INR 10 lakhs, this model is poised to directly challenge the Tata Punch EV and cater to the ever-growing budget-conscious segment of electric vehicle enthusiasts. While Creta EV will offer a family-friendly seating arrangement for five, ensuring comfort as a priority; information regarding the Inster EV remains largely under wraps but does arouse a curious anticipation.
A Cleaner Mobility
For Hyundai Creta fans and those devoted to cleaner, sustainable driving solutions, the Creta EV stands as a beacon effectively paving the Hyundai way towards an environmentally-friendly mobility approach. Seamlessly integrating safety, range, and comfort, the Creta EV aims to revolutionize how Indians perceive electric cars.
The anticipation builds as we edge closer to a future driving experience that guarantees a thrill for its capacity while being gentle with Mother Earth.
