A few cars define an era and reshape market dynamics. The Hyundai Creta is one of them.

- ARSHAD KHAN @ New Delhi

Completing a decade on Indian roads, the Korean carmaker's bold move to introduce a mid-size sports utility vehicle (SUV) in a market dominated by budget-friendly hatchbacks not only mainstreamed the segment but also made it one of the most competitive.

Sales-wise, Creta now not only leads the SUV segment but the overall Indian passenger vehicle market. So far in CY25 (Jan-June), Creta has been the best-selling SUV in India and has emerged as the top-selling model across all categories in 3 out of 6 months this year. As per industry data, Creta is the second best-selling car in the first half (January-June) of CY25.
