Hyundai Creta finished on top of the UV sales charts so far this FY (April to December 2021 period) ahead of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga

In the current financial year, UV sales occupied 47 per cent of the total passenger vehicle sales in India underlining the segment’s popularity. The Hyundai Creta led the way ahead of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Kia Seltos and Hyundai Venue and all of them accounted for nearly 20 per cent of the total volumes.

In the period between April and November 2021, Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki certainly dominated the proceedings. The Hyundai Creta midsize SUV garnered a cumulative domestic tally of 80,476 units and the highest monthly volume of 13,000 units was recorded in July 2021. The cumulative volume led to an 11.63 per cent YoY growth as well.

The ratio of sales between petrol and diesel variants was almost equal. The five-seater solely contributed to nearly 50 per cent of Hyundai’s total UV sales of just over 1,62,000 units. The second-largest carmaker in the country is expected to launch the facelifted version of the Creta sometime in the second half of 2022.
