Hyundai Creta EV: Which Is The Best Electric SUV For You : The electric SUV segment in India has come a long way, and is currently on a fast-growing path with Tata Curvv EV and Hyundai Creta revealed as rival contestants. Both are eye candies, feature-rich as much as their powerful battery packs, and comes the million-dollar question – which one are you taking? So, ado, let us delve deep into a comparative analysis between the two in terms of performance, features, and pricing.
Battery, Performance & Range
The battery pack option for the Hyundai Creta EV comes in a nominal 42 kWh to a massive 51.4 kWh. The smaller option will give you a maximum range of around 390 km, while the big one will take you across a maximum distance of 473 km. The power output starts at 133 bhp and reaches a whopping 169 bhp with torque at 200 Nm. Fast charging from 10 to 80 percent will take just about 58 minutes.
The Tata Curvv EV has also got two battery pack options with 45 kWh and 55 kWh, thereby giving it a theoretical advantage over the Creta when it comes to the range between 430 km and 502 km. Power output ranges from 148 bhp to 165 bhp with torque pegged at 215 Nm. It is, therefore, also much more powerful. The fast charging takes around 40 minutes for 10–80% charge.
To summarize, maximum range and torque seem to be tilted in favor of the Tata Curvv EV; styling and acceleration come to the Creta EV with a superior 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds.
Dimensions and Space
The Hyundai Creta EV stands slightly taller, measuring a length of 4,340 mm with a ground clearance of 200 mm, which helps to some extent while traversing bad patches. Boot space stands at 433 litres.
With a length slightly shorter than the Creta, Tata Curvv EV manages to score well on design too, in that its boot space accounts for 500 litres, expandable to 973 litres, while providing a frunk (front boot) for additional practicality; however, in comparison to the Creta EV, it does have a slightly lesser ground clearance.
Features and Technology
Hyundai Creta EV holds some serious luxury scores with the dual 10.25-inch displays, leatherette dashboard, Level-2 ADAS, dual-zone climate control, and architecture for enabling V2L.
In contrast, Tata Curvv EV is all about technology with an impressive array of tech features, including: huge 12.3-inch infotainment display, JBL premium audio system, gesture tailgate, wireless charging, panoramic sunroof, 6 airbags, 360-degree camera, and super-advanced ADAS.
Concluding this, Creta EV is truly dedicated to comfort and luxury, whereas the Curvv EV seems that much richer in terms of connectivity and entertainment features.
Price and Warranty
From a price range of ₹17.99 lakh to ₹23.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hyundai Creta EV is making an impressive statement.
A little lesser priced, the Tata Curvv EV starts at ₹17.49 lakh and goes to ₹21.99 lakh.
One good thing is that Curvv offers lifetime battery warranty and, therefore, assures potential owners a very good protection for its durability. Features like a digital car key add a bit of convenience in the Creta.
Which EV Merits Buying?
If you want a spacious SUV with a fairly premium interior whereas the ride quality is flawless, then spend on the Hyundai Creta EV. On the contrary, if you want your money worth in features, Tata Curvv EV is indeed a smart choice, especially with the lifetime battery warranty.
