Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.13L more for the Creta Electric Excellence Knight: 9.9 km/kWh against 8.6 km/kWh, 15.1 percent thriftier. It also adds ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)) and 360° camera. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The BE 6 Formula E Edition FE2 is the strongest of the two at 286 PS
- Also on the Creta Electric Excellence Knight: blind spot monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), ventilated front seats and hill descent control, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Creta Electric Excellence Knight, you give up JBL system with Dolby Atmos, touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25") and speakers (16 against 8), which the BE 6 Formula E Edition FE2 keeps
- Choose the Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition FE2 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.13L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Hyundai Creta Electric Excellence Knight if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
