Quick Read - Hyundai has dispatched over 15.12 lakh Creta units in India since July 2015. FY2026 was its strongest year with 2.02 lakh units, while exports reached nearly 2.96 lakh units by August 2026.

Hyundai Creta has crossed 15 lakh domestic wholesales in India, reaching 15,12,036 units by the end of September 2026. Since its launch in July 2015, the SUV has contributed around 15% of the brand's cumulative passenger vehicle sales and 55% of its utility vehicle dispatches.

The Creta recorded its best financial year in FY2026, with 2,01,921 units dispatched, a 4% increase over FY2025. Annual wholesales had risen by 20% in FY2025 to 1,94,871 units, following 1,62,773 units in FY2024.

However, sales have slowed in the current financial year. Combined domestic wholesales of the Creta and Creta Electric fell 10% year on year to 89,727 units in the first half of FY2027, compared with 99,345 units during the same period last year.

The updated Creta and the electric version have together accounted for an estimated 5.3 lakh domestic units through September 2026.

Creta Exports Near 3 Lakh Units

Exports are also nearing a milestone, with 2,95,994 units shipped through August 2026. Shipments have recovered from their FY2024 low of 3,859 units, reaching 6,496 units in FY2026. Exports between April and August 2026 stood at 2,338 units.

Meanwhile, the next-generation Creta is expected to arrive in India sometime in 2027. It is likely to use Hyundai's K3 platform, which also underpins the second-generation Kia Seltos. Hyundai has not confirmed the launch timeline.
