The demand for Creta dropped way below its average sales, but its reasons could be temporary.
The Creta is still the highest selling SUV followed by the S-Cross and the Duster.
Two new launches lined up in January 2019: Nissan Kicks, Tata Harrier.
Come January 2019 and the Rs 8 lakh to Rs 20 lakh SUV space will see two launches in the form of the Nissan Kicks and the Tata Harrier. While the Kicks will compete directly with cars like the Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster, the Harrier will be a bigger midsize SUV, albeit priced around the same mark as the top-spec Creta.
A drop in Creta’s demand in December 2018 suggests that buyers awaiting the Kicks and Harrier launch might have postponed buying the Hyundai SUV, but we can’t rule out other possibilities like a temporary pause in production. We have already answered whether you should wait for the Harrier or Kicks or go ahead with the Creta here. All said and done, the Creta is still the most popular SUV in its segment, and by quite a margin.
Now, let’s find out what else do the numbers say.
