Thoughts On The Hyundai Creta Base Variants With 1.6-Litre Diesel Engine

The Hyundai Creta is one of the best-selling SUVs in the segment. The Creta SUV was launched in India a couple of years ago and since then has remained unbeaten in the segment. However, with newer rivals entering the market, such as the Kia Seltos and the MG Hector, sales of the Creta has fallen. Hyundai is addressing this by introducing a brand new model in India at the upcoming 2020 Auto Expo.
