Hyundai Creta Electric vs Creta ICE: Key Differences And Similarities In Their Interiors!

The popular Hyundai Creta has just got its EV iteration revealed as the Creta Electric. Both versions share a lot of similarities in terms of overall design however the Creta Electric has subtle tweaks that make it distinctive to its own identity. While we’ve previously compared the exterior design of the Creta, in this report we’ll see the key differences and similarities in the interior of the two. Let’s begin: 

Hyundai Creta Electric vs Creta: Interior

The interiors of both the Creta Electric and the Creta ICE are quite similar. The most noticeable difference that meets the eye is in the cabin themes: the Creta Electric features a white and black finish, while the Creta ICE comes with a white and grey theme.

The dashboard layout is largely identical, but the Creta Electric gets a new three-spoke steering wheel with a horizontal chrome slat – a little like the four dot design in the Ioniq 5 instead of the usual Hyundai logo found in the ICE-powered version which retains its previous generation's four-spoke steering wheel.

The centre console designs also differ. The regular Creta includes an aeroplane-style gear lever, two cupholders, an electronic parking brake, buttons for seat ventilation, and a rotary dial for controlling drive and terrain modes. In contrast, the Creta Electric has a simpler layout with a drive mode dial, two cupholders, and seat ventilation buttons, while its drive selector is positioned behind the steering wheel, like its flagship sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Both models feature dual-integrated displays and a touch-enabled control panel for the AC and vents. However, the ambient lighting sets them apart: the Creta Electric offers a purple theme, while the Creta ICE uses an amber tone.

The front and rear seats in both models include centre armrests, and the front seats are ventilated. 

Hyundai Creta Electric vs Creta: Features

The Creta Electric gets exclusive features such as vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, electric boss mode, a digital key that allows you to unlock the car using an authorized smartphone and a seatback table and an in-car payment feature, allowing you to pay for charging directly through the infotainment screen which is not available in the regular Creta. 

Both models share many features, including dual 10.25-inch displays (one for infotainment and one for the instrument cluster), an 8-speaker Bose sound system, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic AC, and an 8-way powered driver’s seat.

For safety, both cars come with six airbags (standard), electronic stability control (ESC), a 360-degree camera with a blind spot monitor, front and rear parking sensors, an electronic parking brake with auto hold and level-2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist.
