The Hyundai Creta, marketed as the Hyundai ix25 in China, is a subcompact crossover SUV designed for emerging markets, particularly BRICS countries. Positioned between the smaller Venue and the larger Tucson in Hyundai's SUV lineup, the Creta has been in production since 2014.
The first-generation Creta made its debut as a near-production concept in China in 2014, with the second generation released in 2019. The upgraded model can also be acquired in a longer version with three-row seating, known as the Hyundai Alcazar, Creta Grand, or Grand Creta. Production facilities for the Creta are spread across China, India, Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia.
Notably, the Creta is not available in certain developed markets, including South Korea, the United States, Canada, and various European countries, where the Kona is offered instead due to its smaller size and more advanced features. This strategic market positioning allows Hyundai to cater to diverse consumer preferences across different regions.
