Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has kicked off 2025 with a bang! The Hyundai Creta has achieved its highest-ever monthly sales in January. With 18,522 units sold in the domestic market, the Creta remains a force to be reckoned with in the C-SUV segment. This means that, on average, over 88 units of the Creta were sold every hour last month!
Segment-Bestseller for a Decade!
Since its debut in 2015, the Hyundai Creta has consistently posted the highest sales in its segment. The only exception here was around the launch of the Seltos. But the debut of the second-gen version helped the carmaker reclaim the top spot. Despite facing stiff competition from multiple rivals over the years, Hyundai has managed to keep the Creta highly desirable. The latest iteration continues this trend by offering a perfect mix of power, technology, and premium features that resonate with Indian buyers.
