Hyundai Creta, a famous name in the SUV segment, has been a bestseller in its category of cars in India. This time, Hyundai has registered yet another record in its name. The Creta SUV has overtaken the Maruti Suzuki Swift as the best selling car of the country till date. Interestingly, this is the first time that Maruti Suzuki has lost its position by losing to any other brand in the country.
Maruti Suzuki sold 7,005 units of the Swift in India last month, while Hyundai registered 7,527-unit sales for the Creta in the same period in May 2021, emerging as the best-selling model in the country. Maruti Suzuki sales declined in May 2021. This can be attributed to limited product dispatches due to the bi-annual maintenance shutdown announced by the company from May 1 to May 16, 2021. However, sales of both Hyundai Creta and Maruti Suzuki Swift are doing well in view of the lockdown restrictions imposed in many states due to the second wave of COVID-19.
The Hyundai Creta SUV has jumped five places to reach the top in May. Even though auto sales across all segments have been hit hard, the SUV has done quite well in the last month. Creta getting the title of ‘India’s Best Selling Car’ in May is proof of this. Hyundai has sold 7,527 units of the Creta SUV as against 12,463 units sold in April.
Hyundai Creta to be updated very soon
In an effort to further strengthen the competition, Hyundai is planning to update the features on the Creta SUV. The top variants of the Hyundai Creta will get OTA updates and new voice commands. Selected features will be dropped in the base variant of the model. Hyundai India is all set to change the feature list of the Creta.
