By the end of June 2025, cumulative sales of Hyundai Creta had crossed 1.2 million units and it was the best-selling SUV in the first half of 2025 too
The Hyundai Creta has now spent a full decade on Indian roads. Since its debut in July 2015, the midsize SUV has retained a steady lead in a fiercely contested segment. By the end of June 2025, cumulative sales had crossed 1.2 million units. No other SUV in its class has managed to maintain this level of consistency year after year.
In fact, Creta has ended every full calendar year since launch as the highest-selling midsize SUV in the country. Even in the face of mounting competition, Creta has held on to its position. In the first half of 2025 alone, it was not only India’s best-selling SUV, but also the top-selling passenger vehicle overall in three of the six months.
More than 31 per cent of the midsize SUV market is currently occupied by the Creta. The SUV’s sales trajectory has more than doubled over time – from 92,926 units in 2016 to 1,86,919 units in 2024. The transformation in buyer profile has also been significant. The first-time ownership among Creta buyers rose from 12 per cent in 2020 to 29 per cent in 2024.

Variants with factory sunroofs have seen especially strong traction – accounting for around 70 per cent of sales in the first half of 2025. Now in its second generation, the Creta is sold with petrol, diesel, turbocharged petrol and EV powertrains – backed by both manual and automatic gearbox options. Built in India, the SUV is also shipped to more than 13 global markets with export numbers exceeding 2.87 lakh units.
The second generation model introduced in 2020 pushed the Creta further upmarket. Two special editions – the Knight and Adventure – were added later on. Over the years, Hyundai has regularly refreshed the SUV’s design, variants and feature list. The Creta’s long run indicates Hyundai’s ability to evolve a model while pushing the segment’s status quo.
