Hyundai Creta has been dominating the mid-size SUV segment since its launch in 2015. Though, it has been facing a tough competition with the entry of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. In the coming years, the competition will get fiercer with the entry of the two new models from Mahindra and Tata Motors. The Tata Curvv concept based SUV and a new Mahindra SUV will be positioned against Hyundai’s mid-size SUV. Here’re some key details of the upcoming Hyundai Creta rival SUVs.
