Checked out the Hyundai Creta Electric: Observations as a Kona owner

I like the elegant longitudinal screen. And the stalks feel premium and tactile like the Ioniq5 does.

BHPian shankar.balan recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

My Dad and I went to see this Creta EV at the Hyundai Showroom near my house - the same one from where I bought my Kona EV a year ago.

No test drives yet as the vehicle is unregistered. Maybe in a couple of days they will start offering drives.

Some minimal first impressions from my limited and casual interaction with the display car. The Top Spec 51KW version.

Great Headroom front and rear. Great under thigh support front and rear. The sitting position in all the seats is extremely comfy and the big panoramic sunroof gives one a very airy and light feel. Really lovely to have electric seats for both driver and front passenger with height adjustment and 8 way adjustment and memory etc. Nice supportive seats.

As a tall person of 6.2 ft- the Big door lip at rear can catch the shoes. And the tray at the back of the front seat can catch the knee. Nice Fat EV specific Goodyear Assurance 215/60/17 sized tyres.

I like the elegant longitudinal screen. And the stalks feel premium and tactile like the Ioniq5 does. On account of the positioning, there is no chance of mixing up the Indicators and the Drive Stalk control.

The Creta EV seems a typically brilliant Hyundai Package at Rs 26.5 ish lacs on Road Bangalore for the Top Spec with 51 KW battery with 473kms range etc. One can drive to Ooty from Bangalore at one shot. (With family, luggage and golf kit!)Thats great as far as I am concerned!

Someone had remarked that one is getting all the goodies of the Alcazar in the Creta EV and best of all, across all the variants. It is a very nice vehicle. Feels very European. Nice and comfortably sized. Big boot. Little frunk. A great family car for touring in my opinion, backed by Hyundai’s huge and responsive service network. In car payments feature will become useful more and more as we move to a digital first economy.

Good one Hyundai… but all things considered I love my Kona for its size, fit, finish and finesse so Im not switching any time soon.
