Hyundai Creta marks 10 years with 1.2 mn sales in India
Hyundai Motor India
has marked the tenth anniversary of its popular mid-size SUV, the Creta , with cumulative sales crossing 1.2 million units in the domestic market since its launch in July 2015.
The Creta has maintained its position as the one of the best selling mid-size SUV in India every calendar year since launch, and currently holds a market share of over 31 per cent in the segment. It was also India's best-selling SUV between January and June 2025, topping overall vehicle sales in three of those six months.
Sales of the model have more than doubled over the past decade—from 92,926 units in 2016 to 1,86,919 units in 2024. Sunroof-equipped variants now make up roughly 70 per cent of total Creta sales, reflecting shifting consumer preferences.
Hyundai has also noted a significant rise in first-time car buyers opting for the Creta , with their share rising from 12 per cent in 2020 to 29 per cent in 2024.
An upgrade to Creta
The Creta is offered in petrol, diesel, turbo-petrol and electric powertrain options, with both manual and automatic transmissions. Hyundai exports the made-in-India model to 13 countries, with more than 2.87 lakh units shipped abroad so far.
Over the years, Hyundai has introduced several feature upgrades and launched special editions such as the Knight and Adventure variants to appeal to a broader range of buyers. The brand has also repositioned the SUV over time—from the 'Perfect SUV' in 2015 to 'The Undisputed Ultimate SUV' in 2024.
To mark the 10-year milestone, Hyundai has announced a set of celebratory activities, including a user-generated content campaign titled 'Creta X Memories' and a 100-car legacy drive scheduled to begin from the company's Gurugram headquarters on July 26.
