Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has announced its plans to introduce 26 new models in the Indian market between the current fiscal year and FY2030. This lineup will include 20 internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and six electric vehicles (EVs), reflecting the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the country.
Unsoo Kim, Managing Director of HMIL, shared that Hyundai is also exploring hybrid powertrains as part of its future strategy. The upcoming models will include facelifts, next-generation upgrades, and all-new vehicles across various segments. “These aggressive and strategic launch plans demonstrate Hyundai Motor India’s strong commitment to innovation, market responsiveness, and delivering sustained value to our customers,” Kim stated.
Hyundai’s electric journey in India seems to have gained momentum with the positive response to the Creta Electric, launched earlier this year. The company is expected to bring more EVs, both locally produced and globally sourced, with a strong focus on the SUV segment. Plans also include localizing electric vehicle production and investing in EV charging infrastructure.
Currently, Hyundai’s EV lineup in India includes the Ioniq 5 and the newly launched Creta Electric. The Ioniq 6 e-sedan and Ioniq 9 flagship SUV were also showcased at the Auto Expo, indicating future launches. Reports suggest that by 2027, Hyundai will introduce the next-generation Creta and a new premium three-row SUV with hybrid technology, positioned between the Alcazar and Tucson.
A compact electric SUV based on the global Inster EV platform may launch as early as next year. Additionally, a mid-cycle update for the Creta Electric is expected by 2027. Hyundai also plans to refresh its existing ICE lineup, including new versions of the Grand i10 Nios, i20, and other popular models.
The next-generation Venue is expected to be the first among the new launches, likely arriving by the end of this year. It will come with significant design updates, improved interiors, and enhanced features and technologies.
