Hyundai Creta Sold 2 Lakh Units In CY2025 – Highest-Ever Annual Sales

In the automotive industry, 2 lakh units is a big deal as some vehicles take years and some even a decade to achieve this sales milestone. For a sales phenomenon like Hyundai Creta, 2 lakh units is just another calendar year achievement. Like a side quest after dominating the market for close to a decade.

In the calendar year 2025, Hyundai has already sold over 2 lakh units of Creta SUV. It has to be noted that this is Creta’s highest-ever annual sales performance in a single calendar year. Thus making Creta India’s best-selling SUV in the past five years, cumulatively.

Two more are launching early in 2026 – Renault Duster, Nissan Tekton.

Despite the cut-throat competition, one SUV has ruled this segment for around a decade. We’re talking about the Hyundai Creta, which has been shattering sales records right, left and centre. This Compact SUV has sold 2 lakh units in 2025 calendar year, which is the highest-ever annual sales Creta has had in a single calendar year.

Even though Creta didn’t create this segment, it has been a defining vehicle of this category of SUVs. 2025 has been quite special for Creta as it saw achieved a 2 lakh units sales milestone in a calendar year and the year 2025 marks 10 years of Creta’s existence, registering a CAGR of over 9% between 2016 and 2025.

With a market share of around 34% in the 4.2m to 4.4m SUV space, Creta has become a household name in India. Earlier this year, Hyundai launched Creta Electric, infusing modern and futuristic propulsion systems into the Creta brand. The trio of 1.5L 4-cylinder engines (NA Petrol, Turbo Petrol, Turbo Diesel) are also extremely popular.
