Comparison With Rivals
This is a lower battery size when compared to the rivals including MG ZS EV and the upcoming Maruti Suzuki eVX electric SUV. For reference, a 50.3 kWh battery is used to power the MG ZS EV. We can’t say for sure how much the smaller battery size affect the range delivery.
But it is expected that Creta EV will support fast charging and the battery could have an IP certification for added water and dust resistivity. Whether the Creta EV will offer a similar range per charge as the MG ZS EV or lower remains to be seen.
That said, another rival to the Creta EV which is also marking its debut sometime in 2024 is the Maruti Suzuki eVX. This electric SUV’s battery size is not revealed yet but is rumored to feature a larger battery pack than the Creta EV.
