Hyundai Motor India will launch the new Creta in the country in 2024, according to our sources. While the SUV entered the Indian market in 2015, it received a generation change in 2020.
The company did not respond to the queries sent by India Today regarding the launch timeline of the new Creta.
The Indian arm of the South Korean auto giant has sold over 7,60,000 units of the Creta in the domestic market and exported over 2,59,000 units.
Hyundai was India’s leading SUV brand in 2020 with sales of 1,80,237 units and also in 2021 selling 2,52,586 units on the back of a stellar performance by the Creta.

The diesel variants contribute over 60 per cent to the Creta volumes, while those with automatic options make up more than 20 per cent.
The Hyundai Creta price starts at Rs 10.44 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi) and goes up to Rs 18.24 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
