The Hyundai Creta has been one of the most successful compact SUVs in India. With its bold design, comfortable interiors, and advanced features, it has become a top choice among Indian buyers. For 2025, Hyundai has updated the Creta to make it even more appealing. The biggest highlight, however, is the impact of the government’s GST 2.0, which has come into effect from 22nd September 2025. Under this new tax reform, the GST rate on passenger and mid-size vehicles has been reduced to 18%. Hyundai has immediately passed on this benefit to customers, making the Creta 2025 much more affordable.
The Creta has always been a “value-for-money” SUV, and with this new price cut, its demand is expected to rise even further, especially during the festive season.

EMI & Loan Options
Hyundai has rolled out flexible EMI plans to make Creta 2025 ownership easier. Customers can now bring home the SUV with a down payment of just ₹1.70 lakh.
