For Hyundai, the Creta is by far the most profitable model in India. This compact C-segment SUV has been Hyundai’s best-selling model for almost a decade now. And it continues to rule the roost. For the second consecutive month, Hyundai Creta has become the highest-selling passenger vehicle in the country.
In April this year, Hyundai dispatched 17,016 units of Creta across the country resulting in a YoY growth of 10.2 per cent. In April 2024, the South Korean carmaker dispatched 15447 units of Creta. In March 2025, Hyundai delivered 18,059 units of the SUV to the dealerships. In fact, in the first four months of 2025, Hyundai has produced 69,914 units of Creta in India.
With this, Hyundai’s share of SUVs rose to 70.9 percent out of its total passenger vehicle volume. This is complemented by other models like Venue, Exter, Alcazar and Tucson. First launched in 2015, Hyundai has produced over 1.2 million units of Creta in India.

Commenting on the achievement, Tarun Garg, Whole-Time Director and Chief Operating Officer, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), said: “Hyundai CRETA’s continued dominance in the Indian market is a reflection of the trust and love that Indian customers have placed in the brand. Being the best-selling car across all segments for two months in a row and the top-selling SUV in the industry for the first four months of 2025 cumulatively is a proud achievement for all of us at HMIL.”
