Design and Exterior
From a distance, it looks like the old Karoq, with its strong personality and powerful stonesail, but as you get closer, its identity becomes clear. The closed grille, blue accents, aero-focused alloy wheels, smooth front bumper and electric-focused design give it a distinct identity.
I feel Hyundai has struck the right balance here, making the car futuristic but not so much that it loses its old identity.
Interior and cabin comfort
Step inside and it feels premium. The dual-screen layout, soft-touch materials, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, and modern infotainment make it upmarket.
The most noticeable thing you feel when you get inside is the silence. There's no engine noise, no vibration, and the soft and smooth electric movement is felt. Rear seat comfort is quite good, but not very spacious. Tall passengers may want a little more support.
Performance and driving feel
Speaking of its performance, we find the electric SUV's quick response quite enjoyable. It accelerates quickly and offers smooth and firm handling.
It's very easy and comfortable to drive in the city. It feels quite stable on the highway too, although scooter-loving drivers can expect a little more punch at high speeds. This electric SUV comes with family-friendly drive training, making it ideal for its target audience.
Range and charging
Let us tell you that in real world conditions, its range can be around 350 to 450 kilometers. It easily fulfills your daily office and family needs and can comfortably go through your entire daily routine.
We find the fast charging support useful for long distances, but it all depends on the charging network. There's no problem in metro cities, but planning is necessary in smaller cities. If you live in a rural area, this may create problems for you.
Features and Safety
Hyundai has always been generous with features the same is evident here.
✔ ADAS
✔ 360° Camera
✔ OTA Support
✔ Ventilated Seats
✔ Digital Console
✔ Smart Regenerative Braking
Safety features include multiple airbags and a robust structure, which provides confidence as a family car.
Who is the Creta EV right for?

✔ For those seeking a feature-rich, comfortable, and practical SUV
Who is it not for?
✘ For those who frequently undertake long highway journeys
✘ For drivers seeking sporty acceleration
Final advice
The Hyundai Creta Electric isn't designed as an experimental vehicle or just a technology showpiece; it's the future of a reliable family car. It's comfortable, premium, feature-rich and a great everyday electric SUV.
An EV that moves towards the future without losing its identity.
Practical, reliable, and perfectly suited to Indian needs.
