Hyundai’s Launch Plan Includes 26 New Cars With Hybrids Taking Spotlight

GaadiWaadi -

Hyundai is looking to leverage its upcoming hybrids and electric vehicles as they are expected to account for almost half of its Indian volume by 2030

Hyundai has begun mapping out what could become its most sweeping product shake up for India – stretching right through FY2030. Details from the brand’s recent Investor Day roadmap reveal a strategy that combines updated ICE models with an aggressive introduction of hybrids and EVs in the coming years across multiple categories.

For now, the company’s sales are still driven largely by the traditional fuels. Petrol and diesel combine to form nearly three-quarters of Hyundai’s overall numbers with CNG adding around 19 per cent more. Cleaner powertrains barely nudge past the 5 per cent mark today but that modest share is expected to grow dramatically as the decade concludes.

Hyundai says hybrids and electric vehicles together should account for almost half of its Indian volume by 2030. The backbone of this turnaround will be the brand’s hybrid push. Hyundai has confirmed that eight hybrid models are being prepared for India before FY2030. In particular, strong hybrid systems are expected to appear on mainstream SUVs such as the Venue and the Creta.

The familiar 1.5-litre MPI petrol engine could be paired with an electric motor and battery pack to create an efficient dual-power setup. Overall, Hyundai wants as many as 32 different models on sale in the country by the decade’s end. Out of these, the plan allocates 13 to internal-combustion engines, 8 to hybrids, 5 to battery-electric vehicles and the remaining 6 to CNG versions. To achieve this lineup, a total of 26 model launches have been scheduled across multiple financial years.

Only a handful of launches – four, to be precise – are locked in for FY2026. The real surge unfolds later when 14 models, either entirely new or thoroughly revised, are slated to hit showrooms during FY2029 and FY2030. Internally, Hyundai has broken this down into 7 brand new nameplates, six full model changes, another six derivatives and seven facelifts or major enhancements amongst others.

In the middle of this timeline, FY2027 and FY2028 together will contribute eight additional launches. These include two completely new nameplates and three total generation upgrades. Expected highlights span a three-row hybrid SUV positioned below the now-retired Tucson, a locally produced compact EV, a Bayon-inspired small SUV and a hybrid version of the Palisade. The newest Ioniq models are also set to be part of this rollout.
