Hyundai Motor India is going to launch its much-awaited Creta Electric at the India Expo to be held in Delhi on January 17, 2025. Ahead of this special occasion, the company has released a great TV commercial with Bollywood’s King Khan, i.e. Shahrukh Khan, which gives a glimpse of the powerful features of this electric SUV.
The TVC clearly shows that Hyundai is betting big not just on design but also on EV technology and practicality. The company has specially highlighted its global EV technology, powerful performance and long range in it.

In India, this Hyundai Creta EV SUV will compete with the Tata Curvv.ev, MG ZS EV, upcoming Mahindra XEV 9e and Maruti eVitara. It will be locally manufactured at Hyundai’s Chennai plant. Prices are expected to start from around Rs 14 lakh. The company is also offering a battery warranty of 8 years/1,60,000 km.
