Hyundai’s popular mid-sized SUV, the Creta has been receiving an overwhelming response from buyers since its inception in 2015. The new Hyundai Creta sets a new benchmark as it crosses 5 lakh sales milestone in India.
Hyundai had launched the second generation Creta mid-sized SUV in March 2020. The SUV has received over 65,000 bookings in less than 5 months. It has been India’s best-selling SUV for 3 consecutive months (May, June and July). In July, Hyundai delivered 11,549 units of the new Creta to customers. In fact, diesel Creta accounts for around 60 per cent of the total Creta bookings.
Hyundai has delivered a total of 34,212 units of the Venue, Creta, Kona EV and Tucson SUVs in April-July 2020. The company has also revealed that the made-in-India Creta has been exported to 88 international markets. The new Creta directly rivals the Kia Seltos, Renault Duster, Nissan Kicks and the entry-level variants of the MG Hector and Tata Harrier.
The new-gen Hyundai Creta is based on the same platform that underpins the Kia Seltos. The new model comes with all-new design, new engine options and several segment-leading comfort and convenience features. Some of the exciting new features include smart panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brake with auto hold, bluelink connected car technology with voice commands, 10.25-inch touchscreen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Voice Command and Navigation, and ventilated front seats, touch-enabled air purifier, paddle shifters and one-touch cruise control, remote start and others.
