Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) recently unveiled its much-awaited electric SUV, the Hyundai CRETA Electric, in India. Featuring the most recent technology and a promise to create new standards for performance, design, and sustainability in the Indian automotive market. CRETA Electric is sure to make its presence felt with electric mobility gaining its ground in India.
Creta Electric: Bold and Innovative Design
The Hyundai CRETA Electric stands out with its striking pixelated design language, a hallmark of Hyundai’s global EV strategy. The front features a unique pixelated graphic, seamlessly integrating the charging port, while the rear showcases pixelated LED tail lamps. This creative design improves the vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency in addition to its visual attractiveness.
Aerodynamic Enhancements
The CRETA Electric is designed with 17-inch Aero Alloy Wheels and Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) tires. Active Air Flaps (AAF) ensure the aerodynamics of the car by regulating air flow around it, thus promoting cooling and efficiency. This kind of attention ensures that the SUV is performing optimally while still ensuring maximum mileage.
Impressive Performance Metrics of Creta Electric
Hyundai CRETA Electric comes with two battery options based on the variety of consumer demands:
- 51.4 kWh (Long Range): Offers an impressive driving range of up to 473 km on a single charge.
- 42 kWh: Provides a range of 390 km.
- Both models feature rapid charging, where DC fast charging enables users to recharge from 10% to 80% within 58 minutes.
- For home charging, the 11kW Smart Connected Wall Box can fully charge the car in about 4 hours.
- The SUV’s performance will make every enthusiast yearn to hit the roads at 0-100 km/h, which takes a notch lower at just 7.9 seconds.
Advanced Technology
Hyundai has fitted the CRETA Electric with a host of advanced technological features that are set to make the driving experience richer:
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology enables users to power external devices and transform the vehicle into a portable power source.
- i-Pedal technology offers seamless one-pedal driving, making driving more convenient with acceleration and deceleration capabilities using only the accelerator pedal.
