Hyundai Creta Electric's top-spec trim seeing major demand. Here's why

The Hyundai Creta Electric, which is the pure electric version of the popular Hyundai Creta SUV, was launched in India earlier this year at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. The electric SUV, which is available in two different battery pack choices and six different trim options, have been witnessing high demand amid the growing popularity of electric cars in the country.

Hyundai has revealed that it is getting maximum demand for the Creta Electric's higher-spec Excellence LR variant that is powered by a 51.4 kWh battery pack. Interestingly, the South Korean automaker is not the only car manufacturer in India in terms of seeing top-end demand for its EVs, with both Tata Motors and Mahindra too echoing similar sentiments in terms of recording demand for their respective electric cars.

The fully loaded version of the Excellence LR trim of the Hyundai Creta Electric, like its internal combustion engine-powered sibling, has a plethora of features onboard. Some of these key features include the dual digital screens comprising a touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster, Level 2 ADAS suite, powered driver’s seat with ventilation, V2L (vehicle-to-load), connected car technology, Bose sound system, and a panoramic sunroof, among others.

Hyundai Creta EV is the brand's first-ever locally produced electric car. Buoyed by the positive consumer response for this electric SUV, Hyundai is now working on the Carens Clavis EV, which will come as an EV version of the recently launched Carens Clavis. The Hyundai Carens Clavis EV is scheduled to launch in India later this year.

Meanwhile, here is a quick look at the key features of the Hyundai Creta Electric's Excellence LR trim.
