With 10 lakh (1 million) units sold, the Hyundai Creta has solidified its reign as the unchallenged leader of the mid-size SUV market in India. This astounding achievement amounts to one Creta leaving the showroom floor every five minutes, demonstrating the vehicle’s steadfast appeal to Indian car consumers.
When the Creta was introduced in 2015, its sleek exterior, roomy cabin, plenty of features, and affordable price soon won over buyers. Despite fierce competition from rivals like the Kia Selto, Tata Nexon, and Nissan Kicks, it maintained its position as one of the best-selling SUVs in the nation with regularity. However, the Creta’s blend of affordability, usefulness, and fashionable appeal allowed it to continue dominating the market.
“India has been able to ‘Live the SUV life’ thanks to the Hyundai Creta,” said Tarun Garg, COO of Hyundai Motor India Ltd., in a statement announcing the accomplishment. With more than a million Cretas on Indian roads, the brand “CRETA” has upheld its reputation as the undisputed SUV.
There were difficulties along the way to 10 lakh sales. In a fast changing SUV market where new competitors were joining the field and consumer tastes were moving toward bolder styles and more sophisticated amenities, the Creta faced more competition. In order to maintain the Creta competitive and contemporary, Hyundai reacted quickly, releasing feature upgrades and refreshes on schedule.
The January 2024 release of the new 2024 Creta is another indication of Hyundai’s dedication to this popular vehicle. A greater selection of engine and gearbox options, a feature-rich cabin with a panoramic sunroof and cutting-edge connection options, and a redesigned, more futuristic-looking appearance characterize the new Creta.
With over 60,000 reservations made thus far, the new Creta has gotten an overwhelmingly positive reception. According to the early buzz, the Creta’s position as the best mid-size SUV is not expected to be challenged anytime soon.
The Creta’s ascent to one million sales is evidence of Hyundai’s comprehension of the Indian auto industry and its capacity to provide goods that appeal to consumers. The Creta appears ready to maintain its winning streak and further establish itself as the preferred option for SUV consumers in India with the introduction of the new 2024 model.
