Hyundai Creta Electric 2026: Hyundai Motor India has officially launched the Creta Electric on January 22, 2026 – the electric version of India’s best-selling compact SUV, bringing zero-emission driving with premium features and long range to the mass-premium segment. Priced from ex-showroom ₹19.99 lakh for the base Executive 45 kWh RWD variant, it scales to ₹26.99 lakh for the top Signature 65 kWh AWD – prices competitive against Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra XUV400 EV. With two battery options (45 kWh & 65 kWh), RWD/AWD configurations, and 150 kW fast charging, the Creta Electric targets urban families, daily commuters, and eco-conscious buyers – bookings open with deliveries from March 2026, already seeing 18,000+ pre-orders in the first week.
Bold & Futuristic Exterior
The Creta Electric 2026 adopts Hyundai’s latest ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design with a closed front grille featuring parametric LED patterns, slim LED projector headlamps, and a full-width connected LED DRL light bar for a distinctive EV look. The redesigned bumper includes aero-efficient air curtains and silver skid plates.

Sides showcase flush door handles, 17–18 inch aero-optimized alloys, and chrome window surrounds. The rear gets connected LED tail lamps with a 3D effect, a wide diffuser, and a subtle roof spoiler. Ten premium colors including new Abyss Black Matte and dual-tone options (e.g., Fiery Red with black roof) add flair, with 190 mm ground clearance and improved approach/departure angles for light off-road use.
Premium & Connected Cabin
The Creta Electric interior feels significantly more upscale with soft-touch materials, leatherette upholstery, and ventilated front seats (mid-up trims). The 5-seater layout offers generous rear legroom and 433 litres boot space (expandable to 1,400 litres via 60:40 folds), with dedicated rear AC vents and USB-C ports. The dashboard features dual 10.25-inch curved displays: infotainment with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and a digital driver cluster. Ambient 64-color lighting, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and a Bose 8-speaker audio system create a connected lounge – a premium EV cabin for family road trips and daily commutes.
Electric Performance & Up to 520 KM Range
Two battery options power the Creta Electric: 45 kWh RWD (171 PS, 255 Nm, 450–480 km ARAI range) and 65 kWh LR AWD (218 PS combined, 350 Nm, 520–550 km ARAI range). Acceleration hits 0–100 km/h in 7.8 seconds (LR AWD), with drive modes (Eco+, Eco, Normal, Sport) and one-pedal driving. 150 kW DC fast charging adds 200 km range in 15 minutes (10–80% in ~28 mins), while 11 kW AC takes 6–8 hours full. Real-world efficiency at 14–17 km/kWh makes it ideal for city and highway use with minimal range anxiety.
