The Hyundai Creta prices increased by up to INR 20,000
The Hyundai Creta is perhaps one of the most talked about newly launched cars in the Indian car market and for good reason. As with all cars from Hyundai, the Creta comes loaded with features and since there are no major differences between the international version and the one that has gone on sale in India, it is safe to say that the Creta is a world class product. The Hyundai Creta has commanded a rather high waiting period right from the day it has stepped into our car market. However, this waiting period has seen a significant dip in recent days and this should be pretty encouraging for all the prospective buyers who have been put off by the high waiting period. We have come up with all the details you need to know about the Hyundai Creta compact SUV in this post here.

Hyundai Creta Bookings and Waiting Period
Bookings for the Creta were opened on June 20 this year and so far, the manufacturer has received an overwhelming response from small SUV buyers. The waiting period for certain variants of the new Hyundai Creta SUV have now reduced to 3 months from 6 months earlier. Most of the petrol variants can be delivered even within a matter of few dates now. Hyundai India has received a very favorable response to the automatic variant, which is being said to command a higher waiting period than the manual transmission equipped models.

Hyundai ix25 Spy Pics
Here is a handful of Hyundai Creta spy pics that were taken at a Hyundai India dealership recently –
The Hyundai Creta looks like a very promising SUV competent enough to take on the likes of the Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano. However, pricing would be very crucial as higher trim levels would have to compete with the Mahindra Scorpio and Tata Safari Storme, both of which offer 7 seats and 4-wheel drive.
