Hyundai Creta Electric test drive experience; Highly impressed!

I test drove the Creta EV recently and I must say that no other car, even a few segements above, has impressed me more. This is the most practical car I have ever seen!

BHPian shobhit.shri recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

1. Looks good, nothing to comment on it.
2. All parts of driving are sorted - steering, throttle response, breaking, regen work as expected
3. I might be wrong but both the suspension and the handling felt better than regular Creta.
4. I feel that the pricing is spot on, expecially for Bangalore with its high road taxes for ICE cars and zero tax for EVs
5. 350 km of safe range is enough for my usage. Most travel spots near Bangalore, even ooty, are less than 300 km away.
6. I felt that interior color scheme and plastics are not that great. That's the only blocker for me. It might be ok for the price but that gray and blue doesn't feel special. Even my 13 year old Honda city feels more premium inside.

I am really surprised how easily EVs are able to match the driving experience of much more expensive ICE cars. I don't think Q3 drives significanly better than this. You literally have to run experiments and do some deep investigation to find fauls in this car!
