The Maruti e Vitara, however, differentiates itself with larger 18-inch alloy wheels, a fixed glass roof, a 10-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, and a better 10-speaker sound system, all of which are not provided with the Creta EV.

Verdict

Hyundai Creta Electric

The Hyundai Creta Electric, like its fossil fuel-powered counterpart, comes with a lot of features including a panoramic sunroof, powered and ventilated front seats, dual 10.25-inch screens and even Active Air Flaps. It also offers strong safety features with 6 airbags (as standard), a 360-degree camera, and ADAS. With two battery options, it delivers a claimed range of up to 473 km. All of this makes it a great choice for those seeking a feature-packed and no-nonsense EV.

Maruti e Vitara

The Maruti e Vitara is also well-equipped but lacks some features such as a powered co-driver’s seat and V2L compared to the Creta Electric. However, it offers larger battery pack options with a claimed range of over 500 km, surpassing the Creta Electric. It also has a slightly better safety suite with 7 airbags (as standard). If range and a more powerful motor are your priorities, the e Vitara is a better option.
