Hyundai Creta Sales reach to 9,054 units compared to Maruti Brezza which saw a limit sales to just 8,781 units.
With the rising trend of buyers shifting to SUVs, the market has widely expanded and car manufacturers are bringing in products to stay ahead in the competition. Maruti Brezza which was a top-selling car in its segment has been dethroned by Hyundai Creta in sales.
When the car manufacturers saw a dip in their overall sales for the year 2019, Hyundai stood tall with only six percent degrowth. The company recently launched Venue with a competitive pricing and 7,000 units for the same have been delivered. The total sales combined for Hyundai Creta and Venue comes out at 16,103 units.
Hyundai says that they will target 15,000 units for the newly launched Venue so as to bring up the competition and stay in the game. If speculations are to be believed then with this pace and the momentum the brand is going then in no time it will beat Maruti Brezza and take over its first position.
