Hyundai Creta Seven Seater – New Details

When it was launched back in 2015, the Creta quickly rose to the top of compact SUVs and defined the segment. It gave spacious interiors along with good features and a strong engine at a competitive price.

With the Indian market shifting towards SUVs, the car quickly became a hit and attracted huge sales for the company. Many manufacturers have since entered India via a similar segment such as the MG Hector and the Kia Seltos which have also become a massive hit. Many of the compact SUVs are now becoming seven-seaters as well and Hyundai is also planning this. Find out more about the Hyundai Creta seven seater below.
