Conclusion
Now that you have seen what’s on offer for each trim, we feel the Smart (O) trim is the top pick to get the most bang for your buck, especially the Long Range model. Hyundai has packaged the base trim with all the key features and incentives are less moving to a trim higher (Smart). However, jumping to Smart (O) with a larger battery pack is recommended just for the extra range. The panoramic sunroof is a bonus.
If you want ADAS functionality on the Creta Electric, you can invest in the top-spec variant (Excellence), which offers all the bells and whistles and enhanced safety. This variant is priced Rs. 2 lakh more than the recommended variant.
Smart (O) and above variants of the Creta Electric can be purchased with a faster 11kW AC charger for an additional Rs. 73,000 over the mentioned prices.
Do let us know what you think is the most value-for-money variant and also if you had to buy the Hyundai Creta Electric, which variant would you pick?
