Confident wading through water now â sits slightly higher than regular Creta, rides very well even at high speeds.

Yes, The Starry Night colour is rare, havenât seen another one in Hyderabad. It is unique and almost like black at night. But it already has some swirl marks as the color looks more solid than metallic. Go with the lighter shades for easier maintenance even though the options are limited for the Creta EV.
Hereâs a short ownership eview after 1.5 months:
Usage Context:
⢠Family of 4
⢠Mostly city driving with heavy traffic & water stagnation during rains
Ride & Comfort:
⢠Confident wading through water now â sits slightly higher than regular Creta, rides very well even at high speeds.
⢠Slight inconvenience for elders getting in/out due to the higher GC but manageable
⢠Beige/white interiors make the cabin airy, but tough to maintain with kids (ventilated seats = no covers)
Noise:
⢠Wind noise at higher speeds and AC blower noise beyond level 2 noticeable due to quiet EV cabin
⢠Not intrusive unless you focus on it
Charging & Range:
⢠Always charged at home via regular 15A socket
⢠20â80%: ~12â14 hours
⢠Never needed fast charging
⢠Efficiency: ~8.5 km/kWh â ~440 km range
⢠Range estimates have been very accurate. I read that charging to 80 and not 100 is mainly to make sure that the regeneration current has space to get stored in the battery. Doing 20-80 or 90 depending on the need.
Value & Pricing:
⢠With new discounts, itâs good value
⢠Discounts likely a mix of insurance price correction & freebies (ceramic coating, mats, etc., worth ~â¹1 lakh)
Conclusion:
Highly recommended for anyone wanting an EV for city use; long drives are easy too thanks to accurate range prediction and comfort
