Hyundai Motor India is celebrating 10 glorious years of the Hyundai Creta in India. What began in July 2015 as HMIL’s bold step into the mid-SUV segment, has today become a name synonymous with power, style and aspiration across 1.2 million Indian households.
Since its debut, the Hyundai Creta has become a phenomenon. Such is its impact that the mid-size SUV segment is now often referred to as the “Creta segment” in the country. Despite increased competition, the Hyundai Creta continues to lead from the front, maintaining its undisputed No.1position in the country every completed year since its launch in 2015.
Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, Hyundai Motor India Ltd., 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.”
Speaking on the Creta’s 10-year milestone, Tarun Garg, Whole-Time Director and Chief Operating Officer, Hyundai Motor India Limited, noted, “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 12models 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, sustainableand inspired by humanity.”
