Hyundai To Expand Its EV Line-Up To Five Models

GaadiWaadi -

Hyundai is planning to expand its EV lineup with the arrival of new models across different segment

Hyundai is planning an extensive portfolio of electrified vehicles for India, but the company is more inclined towards hybrids than pure electric models. The company will gradually build a line-up of five EVs by 2030.

At its first Investor Day in India this month, Hyundai said it will build a portfolio of five EVs by 2030. The company already offers two EVs in India at the moment – the Ioniq 5 and the Creta Electric. The latter is certain to remain in the line-up through the course of the decade. Thus, depending on whether the slow-selling Ioniq 5 continues its journey in our market, we may see 3-4 new EVs in Hyundai showrooms by 2030.

Hyundai has already confirmed its next EV will be a budget SUV, and reports suggest it will be the rumoured Tata Punch.ev rival codenamed ‘HE1i.’ At the Investor Day, Hyundai announced that it will launch this model in standard-range and long-range variants and that it will offer it with Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems.

Unlike the Creta Electric, the HE1i will be localised right down to the cell level, which will allow Hyundai to price it very competitively. The company will likely use LFP cells sourced from Exide Energy in this model.

Hyundai has not talked about the other future EVs it plans to bring to Indian showrooms by 2030. Last year, a report from Autocar Professional said that the company was evaluating pure electric variants of the Grand i10 Nios and Venue, presumably the next generation models of both cars. The next-gen Venue (codename: QU2i) is coming in November, while the next-gen i10 (codename: Ai4) is scheduled to arrive in late 2027.

Representational

The next-gen Bayon (codename: BC4i) is planned to be launched in India in 2026, and we think that Hyundai could offer a pure electric variant of this model as well. The potential Hyundai Bayon EV could be positioned against the Tata Curvv.ev.

Hyundai is focusing on hybrid cars much more strongly. The company plans to launch eight hybrid models in our market by 2030, aiming to capture a new and fast-growing electrified vehicle segment.
