Hyundai Creta Electric Real-World Range Test Explained

The Hyundai Creta Electric is one of the most popular electric cars from the brand and comes with an option of two battery packs: a smaller 42 kWh and a substantial 51.4 kWh battery pack. We recently had a talk with the owner of top-spec Creta Electric (51.4 kWh Excellence LR) to know the exact real-world range he is able to extract from the car.

According to the user’s experience, the Creta Electric provided a real-world range of 486 Km. He did a combined real world range test by subsequently driving it on highways and cities.

During the range test by the owner, the Creta Electric provided an exceptional real-world range of 486 Km on a single charge, which is even higher than the Creta EV ARAI range figures. The user got an impressive battery efficiency of 9.45 km/ kWh in city conditions. 

Highway Drive: Out on the highway, the Creta Electric returned a real-world range of 378 Km with a significant battery efficiency of 7.36 km/kWh. The Creta Electric was purely driven in Eco mode by the user with regenerative braking modes set at Level 3 (High) in the city and Level 1 (Low) on the highways. 

Thus the combined real world range of Creta Electric stood at 432 Km, with an average battery efficiency of 8.4 km/kWh.

Hyundai Creta Electric Range Settings

During the Hyundai Creta Electric battery range real world test, the user told us that he started with 100% SOC battery and set the tyre pressures as per manufacturer’s recommendations in order to extract maximum range. He also drove the car on a fixed route which included highway runs as well as urban commutes. 

He also calculated the range based on the percentage of charge consumed. The A/C was set to 22 Degrees in Auto Mode.
