Now we have witnessed exponential growth in the segment with the launch of contemporary brands like Creta and Venue that have quickly gone on to become well-established household names."

Hyundai India's SUV sales growth catapulted with the launch of the Creta SUV

The Hyundai Creta has been the brand's top-selling SUV in India with a cumulative sales record of 5.9 lakh units in the domestic market and over 2.2 lakh units in the export market. The first generation version arrived in 2015 and the model has been the compact SUV segment-leader with the second-generation that arrived in March last year. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Venue subcompact SUV has been a top-seller in its respective segment. The company has already sold over 1.8 lakh units of the model in the domestic market.

Hyundai's SUV journey in India began with the Terracan in 2003 and was a premium offering. The model would later make way for the Santa Fe and the Tucson in the premium end of the SUV segment, but it wasn't until the arrival of the Creta and the Venue that the company has been extremely active in the SUV segment.
