Korean Clash

The Creta and Seltos share the same recipe, but which one is the more delectable option for prospective buyers?

Korean Clash

In 2015, Hyundai brought the Creta into the Indian market. It has since turned into an unbeatable winner, a household name, and the default choice in the mid-size SUV space. With over 10 lakh units sold in eight-and-a-half years, the Creta continues to reign at the top. In fact, if Hyundai is to be believed, the company sells a Creta every 5 minutes in India!

Yet, as they say, getting to the top is challenging, but staying there is even more so. And the Creta is no exception. However, while many rivals have come and gone, the Creta continues to rule the roost even today. And to crush the competition even harder, Hyundai has just given the Creta a thorough makeover for 2024.

FAMILY FEUD

While the Creta is the undisputed champion in terms of outright sales, it has a rival that can match it pound-for-pound in all areas. Interestingly, this threat comes from within the family in the form of the Kia Seltos, the next best thing in the segment.

The Seltos and Creta are cut from the same cloth – they share the same underpinnings, offer the same engine options, and get more or less the same equipment. However, unlike other cross-badged rivals (VW Taigun & Skoda Kushaq or Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara & Toyota Hyryder), these two Korean cousins don’t offer identical driving experiences. And things seem to have changed even more with both the Creta and Seltos getting major updates recently. Or, have they? We decided to pit these two against each other to find out.
