Entry Trims: Executive and Executive Tech
The Executive is the most affordable Creta Electric, with 17-inch aero alloys, dual-zone climate control, an electric parking brake and Bluelink connected tech. For about Rs 97,000 more, the Executive Tech adds a voice-enabled panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and leatherette upholstery. As a result, the Executive Tech offers strong value for comfort-focused buyers. Meanwhile, the Executive (O) LR brings the 51.4 kWh battery and sunroof at Rs 20 lakh.
Mid Trims: Premium and Smart (O) LR
The Premium adds an 8-way powered driver seat, an 8-speaker Bose system, a front wireless charger, a frunk and V2L. However, it misses ADAS. Meanwhile, the Smart (O) LR pairs the long-range battery with a 6-way powered driver seat, wireless charger and frunk, but skips Bose audio and ventilated seats.
Top Trims: Excellence and Lounge Edition
The Excellence is the fully loaded trim, adding Level 2 ADAS with 20 features, 8-way powered front seats with driver memory and ventilated seats. The Excellence LR also gets the 51.4 kWh battery, a digital key and a battery heater. At the very top, the Lounge Edition adds an 11.6-inch rear-seat entertainment screen and an exclusive Golden Bronze finish.
Hyundai Creta Electric Variants: Which to Buy
For most buyers, the Executive (O) LR offers the best value, combining the 510 km battery and sunroof at Rs 20 lakh. If you want ADAS and every comfort feature, the Excellence LR is the pick. Meanwhile, city-only drivers can save with the Executive Tech, which already gets a sunroof and ventilated seats. For on-road prices by city, see the Hyundai Creta Electric price page.
Road Tax Tip for Bengaluru Buyers
In Karnataka, EVs priced under Rs 25 lakh are exempt from road tax. As a result, almost every Creta Electric version avoids it. However, the Lounge Edition HC versions cost just over Rs 25 lakh, so they pay 10% road tax. That adds about Rs 2.5 lakh to the on-road price, making the non-HC Lounge Edition far better value.
