The Hyundai Creta has been Hyundai’s best-selling model for years, attracting a huge fan base. Earlier this year, in January, the current generation Creta received a midlife facelift, and it has only grown more popular since then. By May, Creta outperformed all its rivals in sales, proving its dominance in the market.
In May 2024, Hyundai India sold 49,151 cars, and the Creta alone accounted for an impressive 14,662 of those sales. It even outsold typically strong performers like the WagonR and Scorpio, showcasing its wide appeal.
