Hyundai's newly-launched Creta has emerged as the best-selling car in India during the month of May.
A total of 3,212 units of the mid-range SUV were sold in the period, hence it became the first non-Maruti Suzuki car to top the domestic monthly sales in more than a decade.
The Creta also accounted for nearly half of the total cars Hyundai sold in the Indian market last month.
