Hyundai Creta bats smart in compact SUV segment after losing ground against Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, Toyota Urban Cruiser and Suzuki Grand Vitara.
Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, Toyota Urban Cruiser and Suzuki Grand Vitara are ruling the roost.The Hyundai Creta range not only looks a little cooler now thanks to subtle styling updates and more convenience and safety features, but pricing across the range has been also reduced to offer customers better value for money.

If one looks at the sales performance of the Hyundai Creta and its step sibling, the Kia Sonet, up till the end of September 2024 compared to the same period last year, these two models have been slaughtered by the Chery Tiggo 4, the Toyota Urban Cruiser and the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The pair lost almost 40% of their market share, while the top four have grown in the segment by around 30%. Make no mistake, this is a segment that offers over 30 models, with more arriving each day.
