The Korean automaker is saying that Creta will make its global debut in India, however, it is based on the ix25 which Hyundai has already launched exclusively in China in 2014. Apart from the name, Creta is similar to the ix25. So technically, Hyundai is referring the car with a new name that will make its global debut in India and will later launch in other markets including Europe.
