The Hyundai Creta Electric is the EV variant of India's best-selling mid-size SUV, launched at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. It is locally manufactured at Hyundai's Chennai plant and inherits the proven Creta nameplate's dealer network, brand trust, and service density — three things every challenger EV brand has had to build from scratch.

Two battery options are offered: a 42 kWh "Standard Range" pack and a 51.4 kWh "Long Range" pack. Claimed ranges (MIDC) are ~390 km and ~473 km respectively. Hyundai pushed an OTA update in 2025 that improved the long-range figure to ~510 km — a demonstration of how software updates now define EV range, not just hardware.

The Creta Electric's biggest advantage is the Creta brand itself — instant credibility in a segment Indian buyers approach cautiously. Its DC fast-charging tops out at 50–80 kW depending on trim, slightly behind the Curvv EV and well behind the BE 6. Hyundai's 542+ India service outlets and 3-year RSA package give it a service-network advantage over MG and BYD.
