Max Power: 171 PS (126 kW)
The Hyundai Creta EV is equipped with a front-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). In its Long Range configuration, it delivers a peak power of 171 PS, while the Standard Range variant produces 135 PS. The motor is engineered to provide instantaneous torque, characteristic of Hyundai’s latest generation of electric powertrains, ensuring seamless acceleration without the lag associated with internal combustion engines.
Max Torque: 255 Nm
Both battery variants of the Creta EV share a peak torque output of 255 Nm. This torque is available from 0 RPM, allowing the SUV to navigate steep inclines and heavy traffic with ease. The torque delivery is managed via three distinct drive modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport, which alter the pedal mapping and energy consumption rates.
Battery Capacity: 51.4 kWh (Long Range) / 42 kWh (Standard)
Hyundai offers two liquid-cooled Lithium-Ion battery packs. The 51.4 kWh unit provides an ARAI-certified range of 510 km (claimed 473 km in real-world test cycles), while the 42 kWh pack offers a range of approximately 390 km. The battery system includes an advanced thermal management system with an integrated heater to maintain optimal charging performance in cold climates.
0-100 km/h: 7.9 Seconds
The Long Range variant of the Creta EV demonstrates impressive agility for a mid-size SUV, clocking a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 7.9 seconds. This performance places it at the top of its segment, rivaling major competitors like the Tata Curvv EV and MG ZS EV in terms of straight-line speed.
Top Speed: 160 km/h
To preserve battery longevity and ensure safety, the Creta EV’s top speed is electronically governed at 160 km/h. High-speed stability is enhanced by the floor-mounted battery pack, which significantly lowers the vehicle's center of gravity compared to the petrol/diesel versions.
