The buyback program is likely to strengthen Hyundai's competitive position in India's growing electric SUV market by reducing consumer concerns about EV depreciation, potentially boosting Creta Electric sales. It may pressure competitors like Tata Motors and Mahindra to consider similar schemes, intensifying competition in the segment.
Hyundai Motor Company has launched an assured buyback program for its Creta Electric SUV, guaranteeing customers a 60% buyback value after three years or 45,000 km, whichever comes first. The program aims to address concerns about EV resale value and boost buyer confidence. The Creta Electric is priced between Rs 18.03 lakh and Rs 23.67 lakh (ex-showroom), with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option reducing the starting price to Rs 10.99 lakh. The vehicle offers two battery packs (42 kWh and 51.4 kWh) with claimed ranges of 420 km and 510 km respectively. Hyundai is also expanding its charging network, currently operating 183 DC fast chargers across 105 cities, with plans to increase to 600 by 2030. The company is preparing its biggest EV push in India, including testing a new sub-4 metre electric SUV expected to launch before Diwali 2026. Competitors like VinFast, MG, Toyota, and Maruti Suzuki already offer similar buyback programs, while Tata Motors and Mahindra do not.
