The 2020 Hyundai Creta has become the top-selling compact SUV once again. It competes with the likes of Kia Seltos and Nissan Kicks.

Hyundai Creta was introduced in the Indian market back in 2015, and the compact SUV was able to attract a lot of potential buyers. The SUV became the best-selling car in its segment and earned the title of ‘King of SUVs’. A few months back the automaker launched the second-gen Creta in our market. The all-new model looks more stylish and comes loaded with many additional features. The 2020 Hyundai Creta is known as ix25 in the other Asian markets. Since its launch, like the previous-gen Creta, the new model is also magnetizing a lot of buyers. The SUV has become the top-selling car in its segment once again. Last month, the Korean automaker managed to sell 7,204 units of the car, outselling its direct rival Kia Seltos that registered sales of 7,114 units. This also made the new Creta the largest-selling SUV in India.
