Here is a complete breakdown of the Hyundai Creta’s sales performance, the new discount offers, and what this means for Indian buyers.

The year 2026 has started on a strong note for Hyundai. According to the official sales figures released on February 1st, the Hyundai Creta recorded a total domestic sale of 17,921 units in January 2026.
Key Highlights:
- Segment Leader: The Creta retains its position as the Best-Selling Mid-Size SUV in India, beating competitors like the Maruti Grand Vitara and Kia Seltos.

Big Discounts on Hyundai Creta (February 2026)
To keep the momentum going, Hyundai India has rolled out fresh discounts for February. These offers are available on both the petrol/diesel version and the all-new Electric model.
1. Offers on Regular Hyundai Creta (Petrol/Diesel)
For the standard Creta, customers can avail benefits of up to ₹30,000.
- Scrappage Bonus: The majority of this discount comes in the form of a scrappage bonus if you exchange an old vehicle.
- Why strict? Since the Creta is already selling in high numbers, companies usually do not offer large cash discounts on their best-selling models.
2. Massive ₹90,000 Off on Hyundai Creta EV
The biggest surprise is the offer on the Hyundai Creta EV, which was just launched on January 17, 2026. Customers can get total benefits worth up to ₹90,000.
- Cash Discount: ₹30,000
- Exchange/Scrappage Bonus: ₹30,000
- Upgrade Bonus: ₹30,000 (applicable for existing Hyundai customers upgrading to the EV)
This is a very aggressive move by Hyundai to push its new electric SUV against rivals like the Tata Curvv EV and MG ZS EV.
