Upcoming Hybrid SUVs From Hyundai – A Deep Dive Into What We Know So Far

GaadiWaadi -

Here we have listed the three possible hybrid SUV launches from Hyundai over the next two to three years in India

Hyundai seems to be accelerating its hybrid SUV strategy for India with multiple upcoming launches. Alongside the next generation Creta, the company is developing a larger and more premium three-row SUV which will sit above the Alcazar. At the same time, talks are reportedly underway to bring the globally praised Palisade to India, which, if approved, could also feature a hybrid powertrain. Here’s a closer look at all three SUVs:

1. New Hyundai Creta:

Codenamed SX3, the next-gen Hyundai Creta is in the pipeline with a full redesign that will see it adopt fresh styling cues and a completely new platform with market entry expected by 2027. Alongside this, Hyundai is also preparing a mid-cycle update for the Creta EV which is likely to follow the updated ICE version into showrooms.

Existing Creta

Hyundai’s immediate focus is on the next-gen Venue, slated to hit showrooms by late 2025, but groundwork for the all-new Creta replacement is already underway. Reports suggest the SUV could carry forward the familiar 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol powertrains while a hybrid option is also being readied reportedly.

2. Hyundai Ni1i SUV:

Codenamed Ni1i, Hyundai’s upcoming three-row SUV is expected to adopt a hybrid setup with reports hinting at the brand reworking its familiar 1.5-litre NA petrol engine for the role. Positioned as a premium addition, the model will more likely slot between the Alcazar and Tucson – filling a key gap in Hyundai’s Indian portfolio.

Global Tucson Hybrid

While Hyundai has not confirmed a launch window, market chatter suggests the new three-row SUV could see the light of day in 2027. Production is expected to take place at the brand’s Talegaon facility purchased from General Motors.

3. Hyundai Palisade Hybrid:

Hyundai’s latest hybrid technology, first introduced globally with the Palisade, is tipped to make its way to India by 2028. The system pairs a 2.5-litre turbo-petrol motor with an electric unit – producing a combined 334 hp and 460 Nm – while managing a claimed efficiency figure of just above 14 km per litre.

In the meantime, Hyundai will also look to strengthen its electric lineup which currently comprises the Ioniq 5 and Creta. A brand new locally produced e-SUV was confirmed recently.
