Hyundai Creta record-breaking sales numbers – why is it popular?

The Creta moniker in India keeps growing as the January 2025 sales numbers have broken all the previous sales records of the SUV. Hyundai India has sold 18,522 units of the compact SUV, which is a testament to the segment. Hyundai has also introduced the electric version of Creta recently, which has contributed to the total sales numbers as well.

Hyundai launched the facelift of Creta last year in January. The first month of 2024 witnessed only 1,000 units in sales because of the new launch. However, the year-on-year number is now a staggering 18,522 units in January 2025. In fact, Hyundai has officially said that it is aiming for more than 20,000 units in sales number target soon.

The main reason behind the popularity of the Creta is its spacious cabin and smooth driving experience. Additionally, it is available with multiple powertrain options that include a 1.5-litre NA petrol, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine options. Moreover, the price range adds to the flexibility as the base model starts from Rs 11.11 lakh and goes up to Rs 20.42 lakh ex-showroom.

Hyundai’s widespread service network in India and affordable maintenance cost are also an additional factor behind Creta’s success. The recent addition of Creta Electric has added to the portfolio expansion among the premium EV buyers looking for a long-range electric car.
