Hyundai ended 2018 on a high note with the launch of the much-awaited Santro, and things don't seem to be stopping there. Ever since the launch, Santro has been garnering a significant amount of bookings. To further add to this, the Hyundai Creta, one of the most successful compact SUVs in India, has been adding to the number of bookings the Korean brand has been receiving in different cities. According to a report, the waiting period for the Creta ranges from 10 - 15 days to almost 2 months depending upon the city. Delhi-NCR, in particular, has had much higher waiting periods, with Chandigarh close behind, for both the Creta as well as the Santro. Furthermore, Hyundai is expected to announce the launch of the 2019 Creta in the coming weeks. In the Indian market, the Hyundai Creta competes against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV 500, Jeep Compass and Renault Duster.
