The Hyundai Creta nameplate has been in India for a decade now, and the Creta Electric, launched in January 2025 at the Auto Expo, is the electric iteration of the venerable midsize SUV. The Creta Electric rivals the Tata Curvv EV and the MG Windsor. While the ICE Creta is among the top 10 bestsellers each month, the Creta Electric has not been able to replicate that.
