The SUV has undergone a design upgrade, added new features and comes with new BS6 engine options. This was when the automobile resumed its sales and operations post the complete lockdown.
At number two is Creta’s rival Kia Seltos with sales of 1,611 units. Before lockdown, Seltos had emerged as the top selling SUV in the country.
