Hyundai launched the second-gen Creta in our market a few months back, and it has gained good attention from the Indian buyers. In March 2020, the automaker sold a total of 6,706 units of the all-new Creta. The C-SUV was first revealed at the 2020 Auto Expo early this year. The automaker started this calendar year with the introduction of Aura, and it was followed by new-gen Creta and facelifted Verna. In the coming months, the automaker is likely to launch the Tucson facelift that was also showcased at the Auto Expo 2020, and the new-gen Hyundai Elite i20 is also in the pipeline. The upcoming launch will surely help the automaker to regain its sales momentum, which got affected due to the current situation.

The same powertrain options do duties on the Kia Seltos. The 1.5-litre petrol mill puts out power and torque outputs of 115 PS and 144 Nm, while the diesel unit produces 115 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque.
