Hyundai Creta Electric

Exterior

At first glance, it looks like a Creta, but look closer and the “electric” touches stand out. You get a closed-off front grille with a cool “pixel” pattern, a charging port hidden right at the front, and special 17-inch aero wheels designed to cut through the wind. The lighting is signature Hyundai, with LED bars at the front and back that give it a very modern, premium look. With 200mm of ground clearance, it’s still very much an SUV that can handle rough Indian roads and flooded streets.

Interior

The cabin is where you feel the real upgrade. You get two massive 10.25-inch screens joined together in one curved panel. It looks very futuristic. The materials feel a notch above the standard Creta, with bits of “ocean blue” stitching and ambient lighting that changes based on your drive mode. One small catch: while the layout is beautiful, the center console uses a lot of “gloss black” plastic, which is a magnet for fingerprints and dust.

Build Quality

Hyundai is known for great fit and finish, and the Creta EV is no different. Everything feels tightly screwed together. There’s a reassuring “solidness” to the doors, and unlike some rivals, you won’t find many uneven gaps in the dashboard. It feels like a car built to last for a decade.
