Photographs
After Hyundai sold its Saint Petersburg factory following sanctions, this Creta didn't disappear from Russia — it just got rebadged, relaunching in 2024 as the Solaris HC.
This generation Creta, built at Hyundai's St. Petersburg plant for Russia and the CIS, was the best-selling SUV in Russia for five straight years, 2017 through 2021.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.

Despite launching from a standing start in late 2025, the i60 topped GAC Aion's own sales chart through January's seasonal slowdown.
Every Defender before this one was body-on-frame — this generation broke decades of tradition with an aluminium unibody structure instead.
Crashed on the passenger side instead of the driver's, the 2014 Forester showed far more intrusion and would have rated Marginal with the IIHS.
Subaru built a 2.5XT for the National Ski Patrol with a diamond-plate floor, a 9,500-pound winch and a toboggan on the roof.
