Hyundai has announced that it has sold 1 million Creta units in India. The Hyundai Creta has been the automaker’s best-selling vehicle in the Indian market for the last 8 years, with one being sold every five minutes.
Launched in 2015, the Creta also has a good number of export figures. With cumulative sales in the Indian domestic market exceeding 10 lac units, more than 2.8 lac units have been exported to overseas markets. Commenting on the milestone, Tarun Garg, COO, of Hyundai India, said:
“Hyundai Creta has been a brand that has captured the hearts of Indian customers and made India ‘Live the SUV life’. With over 1 million Creta on Indian roads, the ‘Creta’ brand has reaffirmed its legacy of being the Undisputed SUV. The recently launched new Hyundai Creta too has received an overwhelming customer response and crossed 60,000 bookings since the announcement. We are extremely grateful for the love and trust our customers have shown for Creta. As frontrunners in the introduction of revolutionary technologies, we shall continue to establish new milestones and redefine benchmarks across segments in the industry.”
To take its popularity to the next level, a thoroughly-refreshed 2024 Hyundai Creta was launched earlier this year priced from INR 10.99 lac. Available in naturally aspirated, turbocharged, and diesel engine options, the Creta comes rich in features & equipment while the newly introduced facelift has received an overwhelming response from Indian buyers.
The new Creta helped Hyundai regain its spot as the 2nd largest automaker in India in terms of sales while playing a key part in helping the company record its highest-ever monthly sales in January 2024.
