Hyundai Creta EV

Hyundai enters the EV space with the Creta EV 2024, a stylish, forward-thinking adaptation of its popular ICE variant. Designed to meet modern demands, this electric SUV combines futuristic aesthetics, a feature-packed interior, and exceptional performance, aiming to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

Striking Exterior Design

The Creta EV’s bold styling commands attention with vertically stacked dual-barrel LED headlights flanked by connected DRLs, delivering a futuristic front profile. Enhancing efficiency and aerodynamics, the pixelated grille integrates seamlessly with Active Air Flaps. Its sporty 17-inch “Aero” alloy wheels and sleek side profile radiate modernity, while the rear includes a black tailgate accent, pixel-styled bumper, and a faux silver skid plate, creating a sophisticated finish.

Modernized Interior

The interior blends familiarity with innovation. While it retains the dual-tone cabin layout of its ICE counterpart, the traditional gear stick is replaced with a modern drive selector knob. Twin 10.25-inch displays—one for instrumentation and another for infotainment—offer intuitive controls, accompanied by a three-spoke steering wheel featuring physical controls. Every detail emphasizes comfort and ease of use.

Performance You Can Trust

Powering the Creta EV is a 99 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor that delivers 135 PS of power. Two battery pack options allow buyers to choose their preferred range—a 42 kWh battery for 390 km or a 51.4 kWh version offering up to 473 km (ARAI-certified). Charging is efficient and adaptable, with an 11 kW AC charger offering a full charge in 4-5 hours and a DC fast charger capable of charging from 10% to 80% in just 58 minutes.

Advanced Features

This EV is equipped with technology designed for convenience and safety:

• Tech Highlights: Twin 10.25-inch displays, seamless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, connected car features, and unique in-car payment options for charging.
• Luxury Touches: Dual-zone climate control, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, and a powered driver’s seat elevate comfort.
• Safety First: With six airbags, electronic stability control, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, and tire pressure monitoring, the Creta EV delivers comprehensive safety. It also offers Level-2 ADAS with radar-linked regenerative braking for enhanced control and energy recovery.

Pricing and Availability

Expected to debut in Nepal by February 2025, the Hyundai Creta EV will cater to diverse needs with four trims: Executive, Smart, Premium, and Excellence. Priced between NPR 55-65 lakhs, it aims to balance affordability and sophistication.
