GaadiWaadi -

Hyundai has confirmed the launch of 8 new hybrid models in India by FY 2030, along with a new compact EV in 2027

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is preparing to expand its portfolio in the domestic market. The Korean carmaker recently launched the new Venue, which has been a major volume puller alongside the Creta. Earlier this year, in May, the company revealed its plans to launch 26 new models by 2030, including fresh products, mid-life facelifts and new generation models.

In a recent development, it has been revealed that eight new hybrid models are planned for the Indian market, with three to four of these expected to be SUVs. Similarly, a new compact electric SUV is also in the pipeline for the year 2027, as confirmed by the brand at its 2025 Investor Day.

To begin with, on the ICE front, the Exter is expected to receive a mid-life facelift update sometime next year, i.e. 2026. The next-gen Creta, codenamed SX3, is due for a launch in 2027, and it will likely continue with the familiar petrol and diesel engine options. Apart from this, the all-new Bayon will reportedly hit the Indian shores in 2026. The crossover SUV is expected to be powered by a new 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, which is currently under development.

Talking about Hyundai’s upcoming electric line-up, a compact electric SUV has been confirmed to go on sale in 2027. As per the reports, it will be based on the Inster EV and specifically made for the Indian market. Based on the E-GMP (K) platform, the sub-4-meter EV SUV will go up against the likes of the Tata Punch EV. Furthermore, the HE1i (codename) will be offered in two battery pack options, featuring Level 2 ADAS and an infotainment system with OTA updates.

Hyundai will also be focusing on hybrid powertrains with its upcoming SUVs. The Bayon crossover SUV could be the brand’s first hybrid model in India. The aforementioned 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine will likely form the base for the hybrid tech, trickling down to other compact SUVs, like the Venue.

The next-gen Creta will also feature a strong hybrid powertrain, however, the exact details on the engine and electric motor are not available as of now. We expect it to come with a highly localised hybrid setup in order to keep the costs in check. Apart from this, a few reports also indicate that a new hybrid 7-seater SUV, which will be positioned below the Tucson, is under development. Internally codenamed Ni1i, the three-row SUV will be squarely aimed at the Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari.

As per the reports, Hyundai will also launch the Palisade SUV in the domestic market, positioned as the brand’s flagship product. The hybrid SUV is expected to go on sale in 2027-2028, and it is expected to be priced around Rs. 40-50 lakh (ex-showroom). The Palisade will be powered by a 2.5-litre turbo-petrol hybrid engine setup, putting out 334 hp and 460 Nm of peak torque.
