Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) is celebrating 10 years of its best-selling SUV, the Hyundai Creta, which has firmly established itself as a segment leader since its launch in July 2015.

Having sold over 1.2 million units in India, the Creta has consistently been amongst the top selling SUVs in the country, maintaining its No.1 position year after year. At present, it has captured a 31 percent market share and shown strong performance in 2025, emerging as the top-selling vehicle across all categories in three of the year’s first six months. The Creta SUV is available in Petrol, Diesel, Turbo and Electric powertrain options, with both manual and automatic transmission options.

Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, Hyundai Motor India, said, “The journey of Hyundai Creta is deeply emotional, not just for us, but for every customer who made it a part of their lives. It stood for dreams, freedom and progress. Creta is not just a product, it is a revolution on wheels. Over the past 10 years, it has become the gold standard for the Indian SUV buyer. Every milestone in Creta’s journey reflects Hyundai’s commitment to innovation, quality and customer-first thinking. As we mark 10 years of Creta in India, we celebrate a movement that changed the way India drives SUVs. We are humbled by the love, trust and loyalty our customers have shown us, and we remain committed to raising the bar, always.”

Tarun Garg, Whole-Time Director and Chief Operating Officer, Hyundai Motor India, said, “Hyundai Creta is more than a model, it is a living legacy, crafted with care, evolved with technology and backed by millions of customers who made it their own. The Hyundai Creta represents ambition, progress and trust. As India’s SUV ambitions grew, Creta too grew with them and if I may dare say often grew ahead of these ambitions. From just 2 models in 2015 to 12 models today, the mid-SUV segment has become fiercely competitive, yet Hyundai CRETA continues to lead, grow and define the category it helped create. Today, as we reflect on a decade of innovation, leadership and unwavering customer trust, Hyundai reaffirms its commitment to delivering mobility that is smart, sustainable and inspired by humanity.”

Hyundai Creta’s annual sales have more than doubled since its debut – surging from 92,926 units in 2016 to 186,919 in 2024 – while more than 287,000 units have been exported to over 13 countries. The model’s appeal is evident not just from its dominant local market share, but also from the increasing share of first-time buyers, rising from 12 percent in 2020 to 29 percent by 2024. Sunroof-equipped variants now make up about 70 percent of total sales, reflecting evolving preferences among Indian buyers for premium features.

Over the years, Hyundai has invested in continuous evolution for the Creta, launching two special editions – the Knight Edition and Adventure Edition – to cater to a diverse customer base. Each variant features unique styling and functional upgrades, further establishing CRETA as both an icon and an aspiration for SUV enthusiasts. Brand taglines have charted the SUV’s journey, beginning with ‘A Perfect SUV’ in 2015, evolving to ‘The Ultimate SUV’ in 2020, and currently, the ‘Undisputed Ultimate SUV’, reinforcing its image as the benchmark for the segment.

Hyundai Motor India has also announced a series of celebratory initiatives, including a ‘Creta X Memories’ digital contest, a new manifesto film and a Legacy Drive event featuring a 100-vehicle convoy from the company’s Gurgaon HQ.
