has expanded the Creta Electric portfolio by adding three fresh variants - Executive Tech 42kWh, Excellence 42kWh, and Executive (O) 51.4kWh. Among these, the Executive (O) is now the most affordable way to access the larger 51.4kWh battery option, the Excellence serves as the top-spec trim for the 42kWh configuration, while the Executive Tech slots just above the base model. In addition to the new introductions, prices across much of the existing line-up have been revised upward. Hyundai has also streamlined the range by discontinuing the 42kWh Smart and Smart (O) variants. Below are the detailed variants with price.

Talking about the battery and range, Hyundai has also revised the claimed driving range for the Creta Electric. The 42kWh battery pack now delivers 420 km (up from 390 km). The larger 51.4kWh unit rises to 510 km (from 473 km). This translates to an increase of nearly 7.8% for both packs, which should reflect in better real-world efficiency. Importantly, the power and torque outputs remain unchanged, ensuring the same performance as before.

In terms of features, all variants now come with a wired-to-wireless adapter with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Excellence 42kWh and 51.4kWh trims gain additional kit in the form of a dashcam and rear wireless charger. Meanwhile, the Premium variant has been upgraded with vegan leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat.

The Executive Tech 42kWh is now positioned just above the entry-level model, it brings premium touches such as a panoramic sunroof, rear sunshades, vegan leather upholstery, and ventilated front seats. The Excellence 42kWh which serves as the fully loaded option in this battery configuration, offers Level 2 ADAS, an 8-way powered driver’s seat, front parking sensors, an auto-dimming IRVM, and rain-sensing wipers, among other upgrades.
