Hyundai Creta Electric

The front-end bears heavy resemblance to the Creta N Line, but a blanked-out panel replaces the grille, and it also gets its charging port on the nose, behind the Hyundai flap.

The bumpers on both ends have been redesigned and they come fitted with air flaps to enhance aerodynamic efficiency and cooling. 

The profile and the rear of the car also remain familiar, with the same doors, tailgate, and the tail lights. However, the Creta EV comes with 17-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels.

The layout of the dashboard is identical, featuring the same 10.25-inch blended screen setup for the infotainment and the digital cluster. However, the UI of the instrument cluster has been altered to differentiate it as an EV.

The steering wheel has been lifted off of more premium Hyundai cars, and instead of a conventional drive selector lever, it gets a column-mounted lever placed behind the steering wheel.

The Creta EV gets Level 2 ADAS, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, dual-zone climate control, a cooled glovebox, over 268 voice commands, voice-enabled panoramic sunroof, vehicle-to-load, and 70 connected car features via Hyundai Bluelink among other things. 

The infotainment screen of the car can now also be used to make direct in-car payments for EV charging, thus enabling the car-as-a-payment platform. 

Some other features include six airbags, hill-start assist, hill descent control, electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring system, a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitor, child seat anchors, rain-sensing wipers, a digital key, and front parking sensors.

The front-wheel drive electric motor pushes it from 0-100kmph in a claimed time of 7.9 seconds. 

There are two battery pack options to choose from; a 42kWh unit and a long-range 51.4kWh unit. The motor on the 42kWh unit produces 132bhp, while the 51.4kWh unit is good for 168bhp. 

A 11kW AC charger will juice up the 42kWh battery from 10-100% in a claimed time of 4 hours, while the same for the long-range 51.4kWh battery will take 4.5 hours. A 50kW DC fast charger will juice up both the battery packs in a claimed time of 58 minutes. 

The 51.4kWh battery gets a claimed range of 473km on a single charge, while the 42kWh battery covers a claimed range of 390km on a single charge.
