According to Hyundai India’s estimates, they’ve sold one Creta every five minutes for nearly a decade
The Hyundai Creta was first launched in India in 2015 when the potential for the compact SUV space was only starting to be explored. It has since undergone a generational update along with two facelifts, the last of which was done in January 2024. Now, in February, it has achieved a sales milestone of 10 lakh units. Let's take a brief look at the Creta's journey in India till now.
Two Facelifts & One Generational Update

In 2015, the Hyundai Creta emerged as a direct rival to SUVs like the Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano. At that time, the Creta's design language was notably sober and minimalistic. Later, in 2018, the first-generation Creta received a facelift, and it got an updated fascia with a cascading grille design and various new features, including a sunroof.
In 2020, the second generation Hyundai Creta for India was launched, which had a futuristic look and featured quirky LED lighting details. Though it had a polarising design language, it was still one of the top-selling compact SUVs in India, with standout features like the panoramic sunroof, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, and power-adjustable driver’s seat. In January 2024, Hyundai facelifted the second-generation Creta, featuring a refreshed look, all-new cabin, and advanced safety features.
Hyundai Sold One Creta Every 5 Minutes
Announcing the significant sales milestone, Hyundai also revealed an interesting fact that it sold, on average, one Creta in India every five minutes. The 2024 Creta has already crossed 60,000 bookings since its launch in January 2024.
