2024 Hyundai Creta facelift: Setting the benchmark for safety

Back in February, Hyundai Creta crossed the 1 million sales landmark. This included all the units sold since the SUV’s introduction in India in 2015. Hyundai sells an average of 13,000 units of the Creta every month. The automaker has also revealed that the sunroof variants of the Creta amassed 71% of the bookings while the variants with connected car tech got 51% of the total bookings.

Commenting on the milestone, Mr Tarun Garg, COO, Hyundai Motor India Ltd., said, “The response to the recently launched new Hyundai CRETA has also been overwhelming with over 1 lakh bookings in a span of just 3 months since the launch in January’24. It is interesting to note that sunroof and connected car variants are contributing 71% and 52% respectively to the overall bookings, a testimony to the changing aspirations of young Indian customers.

With new Hyundai CRETA, we have continued our pursuit of introducing exceptional products for the Indian market while strengthening Hyundai Motor India’s commitment towards ‘Make in India’. Brand CRETA has always created new benchmarks and now with the new Hyundai CRETA we have challenged the status quo by having a female brand ambassador for an SUV in India, a first in the industry. We sincerely thank all our customers for their love and trust in the new Hyundai CRETA and we are confident that we shall continue to establish new milestones and benchmarks in the industry.”

One of the reasons behind the Hyundai Creta facelift’s success in the country is its extensive list of safety features.
