It looks like South Korean auto maker Hyundai has got it all right with its latest offering Creta. The unprecedented demand for the SUV is giving the dealers of the company a tough time. The latest is that the waiting period of Creta SUV in India has been extended up to 10 months due to the increasing demand for the model.

A report of AutoCar India states that the waiting period of Hyundai Creta automatic has gone up to ten months in the country, while the petrol and diesel offerings of the model enjoy a waiting period of up to six months. Although the increasing demand has forced the company to extend the waiting period, a few recent reports suggest that Hyundai is planning to expand the production of Creta, which would help the company to reduce the waiting period.
