The Hyundai Creta is speculated to be priced from Rs. 9.14 lakhs for the base petrol version while the range-topping diesel automatic is said to be priced at Rs. 14.47 lakhs.
Having amassed over 10,000 bookings and 28,500 enquiries ahead of launch scheduled for 21st July, the Hyundai Creta is certainly one of the most anticipated products to arrive in the compact SUV space and will be available across three engine and two transmission options. Now, ahead of the launch this week, prices for Hyundai’s maiden compact SUV have been leaked by a dealer. If these prices are to be believed, the Creta will start at Rs. 9.14 lakhs for the base petrol, going up to Rs. 14.47 lakhs for the range-topping diesel trim.

The Creta fills in the void between the Verna and Elantra in Hyundai India’s lineup and the pricing strategy seems appropriate considering the model won’t cannibalise the sales of its lower segment models. Given the popularity of SUVs today, customers would have opted for the more novel Creta over the Verna, Elite i20 and i20 Active if the former was priced any lower. That said, what makes the model a tad bit pricier than the competition are the segment-leading power figures from both petrol and diesel engines and a tonne of features inside the cabin. The Creta also has its urban good looks in its stride that will add to its popularity. A clearer perspective on the price range will be available at the time of launch.
