However, at the beginning of the year, Hyundai showcased some spectacular models at the 2018 Delhi Auto Show. These included the Hyundai Ionic, Hyundai Kona etc. But, the Hyundai Santro was certainly the trump card launched by the brand.

The design and feature list were updated in the new updated 2018 Hyundai Creta. Also, the automaker launched a couple of mildly updated versions of its existing models.
