Hyundai ix25-based SUV to be called Creta in India

Hyundai’s new compact SUV, the ix25, will be christened the Creta in India. Hyundai has sent in a press release which says that the new Creta will be a global model and it will be revealed in India sometime later this month. The company elaborates that the name Creta was selected because the ‘pronunciation of Creta evokes welcome similarities with the term creative’. This name will be used in other markets as well.

The Hyundai Creta nee ix25 is the company’s stab at the lucrative compact SUV segment in India. Currently players like Ford, Renault and Premier are already present in the segment, with the EcoSport, Duster and Rio, respectively. Maruti is expected to join the party soon while similarly positioned products from Tata and Mahindra are expected to be showcased in the near future.
