Hyundai Creta: one lakh bookings and counting
The Creta that is on sale in India is essentially a heavily updated version of the one that went on sale back in 2020. Hyundai’s popular SUV has been seeing average monthly sales of around 13,000 units in the last fiscal year. In total, Hyundai has sold more than 10 lakh units of the Creta SUV since its launch back in 2015.
The facelifted Creta is now seeing heavy demand from customers looking to buy a sunroof-equipped SUV. Hyundai says 71 percent of bookings for the Creta are for variants that have the sunroof. Hyundai India further says that over 52 percent of buyers have opted for versions with the connected car tech; this feature is available in mid- and higher variants of the Creta.
The Creta facelift went on sale in January this year at a starting price of Rs 11 lakh for the entry-level E petrol-manual variant, with introductory prices going up to Rs 20 lakh for the top-spec SX(O) diesel-automatic trim. With five engine and gearbox options, there are a total of 19 variants on offer. Recently, Hyundai also added the Creta N Line that is priced from Rs 16.82 lakh to Rs 20.30 lakh (ex-showroom). The Creta takes on the likes of the Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Citroen C3 Aircross, Toyota Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun and the Skoda Kushaq SUVs in the Indian market. Introductory prices for the Creta are still in effect.
The all-electric derivative of the Creta is expected to make its debut before 2024 is out, but the price announcement is expected early in 2025. It’ll rival the Maruti eVX, MG ZS EV and Tata Curvv EV in the Indian market.
