Hyundai Creta Sales Breakup

For your reference,  Hyundai sold a total of 50,106 units last month. Of this, Creta accounted for 30.54 per cent of total sales, which is quite significant. Given the increasingly growing popularity of the SUV segment in India. The road ahead is inspiring for Creta and Hyundai India. Given the cutthroat competition in the market. Which includes the likes of Grand Vitara, Seltos, HyRyder, Taigun, Kushaq and Astor. Of all these options, Creta is a clear-cut winner in terms of sales volume. In fact, as per statistics, Creta often accounts for at least 30 per cent of total segment sales.

Hyundai Creta breached the 10 lakh sales units in June 2022 and recorded the highest monthly sales of the year with 13,790 units sold. To date, the strongest quarter of 2022 was Q3 (July to September). With a total sales volume of 38,068 units sold. The average monthly sales for Creta stood at 12,689 units.

Creta Was An Instant Hit In The Market

The initial popularity of the first Creta was the key driver of its success. The SUV made an instant impact on the market as the market completely shifted towards SUVs from sedans. Creta has been a key player in the segment ever since it hit the Indian roads. As per stats, the 1st-gen Creta sold a total of 4,67,030 units from June 2015 to Feb 2020. Then after the launch of the 2nd-gen Creta, the sales from March 2020 to January 2023 stand at 3,71,267 units. With the current trend and demand, we expect Creta to sell in good numbers in the coming future as well.
