The Hyundai Creta EV specifications turn on battery size, range and the motor, since there is no engine. The 42 kWh Standard Range makes 135 PS, while the 51.4 kWh Long Range steps up to 171 PS. Both produce 255 Nm and drive the front wheels through a single-speed automatic. The sheet is refreshingly simple to read.
Range and charging are the headline numbers here. The smaller pack covers about 420 km and the larger about 510 km on the MIDC cycle. A DC fast charger takes either from 10 to 80 percent in about 39 minutes. On a 7.4 kW home wallbox, a full charge needs about 6 hours on the smaller pack and 7 hours 15 minutes on the larger one.
The only real mechanical choice is which battery you pick. Both share the same automatic and front-wheel drive layout. So your decision comes down to daily distance and how often you can plug in. To judge that, check how far each Creta EV trim goes on a full charge.
Dimensions match the familiar Creta footprint. It measures 4340 mm long on a 2610 mm wheelbase, with 190 mm of clearance. The flat electric floor frees up rear legroom, and the boot holds 433 litres. Five sit in a roomy, quiet cabin that feels just like the petrol car inside.
Safety and feature kit runs to six airbags, ESC, a 360 camera and twin screens higher up. A large touchscreen and connected features sit on the upper trims. Read the numbers together and the Creta EV reads as an easy first electric SUV. To pick a grade, line up the Creta EV variants next.
