Hyundai is the longest-running and most successful foreign car brand in India. However, these days, the Korean carmaker largely relies on its best-selling car, the Hyundai Creta, while other Hyundai cars are falling short of expectations. Last month, the top-selling Hyundai cars remained in the same order as they were in the month before, except for the Hyundai Exter regaining its position ahead of the Hyundai Aura, and the Hyundai IONIQ 5 making its first appearance on the list. In this article, we take a closer look at the top-selling Hyundai cars and learn how the Creta became the best-selling Hyundai car once again.
Why is the Hyundai Creta the Best-Selling Hyundai Car in December 2025?
In December 2025, the Hyundai Creta was the best-selling Hyundai car and the second-best-selling SUV. While the Creta has multiple attractive traits, its strongest is its value proposition, which is more appealing than ever today. With top variants of some compact SUVs reaching nearly Rs. 15 lakh, for example, the Tata Nexon and Maruti Brezza, the Creta offers better value with its mid-variants placed in a similar price range. Meanwhile, recently, there has been a significant growth in the demand for the Hyundai Creta Electric, which is adding considerable volumes to the Creta’s net sales.
