Venue posts record quarterly sales as Hyundai prepares an affordable EV and Bayon for India while targeting 8-10 per cent volume growth

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is banking on new products and normalised manufacturing to lift volumes through FY27 after a difficult opening quarter. The company recorded Rs. 16,334 crore in revenue during Q1 FY27 – slightly below the Rs. 16,413 crore reported in the same period last year. The April-June quarter was affected by temporary restrictions at Hyundai’s manufacturing operations – limiting domestic volume growth to 5.4 per cent year-on-year.

The Korean auto major said production has now returned to normal levels – removing one of the principal constraints that affected the first quarter. The company is targeting 8 to 10 per cent growth in combined domestic and export volumes during FY27 alongside an EBITDA margin of 11 to 14 per cent. Hyundai expects the product pipeline and improved factory output to support the targets during the remaining quarters.

The Venue has already provided an encouraging start to Hyundai’s product cycle. The latest generation recorded its highest ever quarterly domestic sales since the nameplate was introduced giving the compact SUV a telling position in Hyundai’s current lineup. The next set of products will extend into new segments. Hyundai is developing the Bayon crossover for India while a locally manufactured affordable compact electric SUV is scheduled to arrive during FY27.

The next generation Creta is also expected in India during calendar year 2027. The company has also seen rising uptake for CNG models. They accounted for 18 per cent of Hyundai’s total sales during Q1 FY27 while the Aura achieved a record 95 per cent CNG mix.

The Exter also reached its highest CNG contribution at 32 per cent. Rural markets provided another positive signal – reaching a record 26 per cent share of Hyundai’s domestic volumes during the quarter. The Creta remained the company’s biggest-selling model in India while Hyundai’s hatchback range also contributed to overall volumes.

The April-June period also represented 30 years of Hyundai operations in India. Hyundai is also working on bring in strong hybrid technology to India while a seven-seater premium SUV slotted above the Alcazar has also been speculated to arrive in the coming years.

Maruti Suzuki Records 24 Lakh+ Sales In FY26, 7 New SUVs Arriving In Next 5 Years

GaadiWaadi -

Record exports, product expansion, capacity additions and a multi-powertrain strategy are the foundation of Maruti Suzuki’s next stage of growth in India

Maruti Suzuki India recorded its highest ever annual sales of 24.22 lakh vehicles in FY2025-26 which was accompanied by record exports of 4.47 lakh units. The company has crossed the 20 lakh annual sales milestone for the third consecutive year and believes it can reach its next million vehicles sooner than previously expected through a new framework across multiple disciplines.

The figures are the centrepiece of Maruti Suzuki’s Annual Integrated Report 2025-26, titled ‘The Next Million, New Momentum’. The report attributes the company’s current trajectory to several factors including the recovery of the small car segment, an expanding SUV portfolio, multiple powertrain technologies, higher manufacturing capacity and export growth which has been one of the main highlights.

Maruti Suzuki Chairman R. C. Bhargava expects the Indian passenger vehicle market to reach 61 to 63 lakh units by FY2030-31 with MSIL playing a massive role in it. He also predicts small cars to grow at a faster rate over the next five years than they did during the preceding half a decade period. The company is preparing for this expected expansion through additional manufacturing capacity.

Maruti Suzuki added 5 lakh units of annual production capacity during FY2026-27 while its product strategy will also see a substantial increase in SUVs. The Brezza facelift arrived recently while the inclusion of the Fronx compact SUV coupe and Victoris midsize SUV have been instrumental in expanding its volumes in the SUV space. The brand is now planning for seven new SUVs over the next five to six years.

As we already know, an electric MPV codenamed YMC is currently under development. The forthcoming products will be part of the company’s effort to expand its presence in one of the fastest growing parts of the country’s PV market. It is also pursuing a multi-powertrain strategy as India moves towards lower-emission mobility. Alongside petrol, CNG, hybrid, and electric technologies, Maruti Suzuki is exploring biogas as another source of automotive fuel.

RE Motoverse 2026 Dates Announced: Himalayan 750, Interceptor 750 And More Expected

GaadiWaadi -

Royal Enfield’s annual motorcycle festival returns in November, and this year’s event could see some major new-bike reveals

Royal Enfield has announced the dates for Motoverse 2026, and if you’re a fan of the brand, this is one event worth keeping an eye on. The annual gathering brings together Royal Enfield owners, enthusiasts and the company’s latest motorcycles, but it has also become an important launch platform for new products. This year’s event is expected to take place in Goa in November.

The biggest reason for the excitement this year is the number of motorcycles Royal Enfield currently has in development. The company is expected to showcase or reveal some of its upcoming larger-capacity motorcycles at Motoverse, with the Himalayan 750 and Interceptor 750 among the most anticipated names.

The Himalayan 750 is expected to become Royal Enfield’s largest adventure motorcycle yet. Test mules have already been spotted, and the motorcycle is expected to use a new 750 cc parallel-twin engine. The bigger Himalayan is likely to sit above the existing Himalayan 450 and take on motorcycles such as the BMW F 900 GS and Triumph Tiger 900. Expect a more substantial chassis, larger brakes and premium suspension hardware, although exact specifications have not yet been confirmed.

The Interceptor 750 could be another important addition to the company’s twin-cylinder range. It is expected to use the same new-generation 750 cc platform, but with a more road-focused character. The motorcycle should retain the basic recipe that made the Interceptor 650 popular with a relatively simple styling, an upright riding position and a relaxed parallel-twin engine, but with more performance. It could eventually sit above the existing 650 cc motorcycles and compete with the growing number of middleweight roadsters.

More Motorcycles Could Be Revealed

The Himalayan 750 and Interceptor 750 aren’t the only Royal Enfield motorcycles expected in the coming months. The company is also working on products such as the Continental GT 750. At the same time, the Scram 450 and new electric motorcycles under the Flying Flea brand are also part of its expanding portfolio.

Royal Enfield has been steadily moving upmarket, and the arrival of a 750 cc engine would be another significant step in that direction. The company already has a strong presence in the 350 cc and 650 cc segments, so the new platform could help it challenge more premium international motorcycles without abandoning the character that has worked so well for the brand.

Next Gen Hyundai Creta To Launch In 2027 – Hybrid Engine, New Design And Features

GaadiWaadi -

Biggest transformation for Hyundai’s best-selling car in our market since its arrival in showrooms a decade scheduled for next year

With more than 20 lakh units sold since its launch in July 2015, the Hyundai Creta is the benchmark for success in India’s so-called mid-size SUV segment. The best-selling Hyundai in India is in its second generation and will be moving to its third generation in 2027.

The next-gen Hyundai Creta will be radically different from the first two iterations in terms of both design and engineering. Built on an entirely new platform called ‘K3’, it will likely be bigger in every dimension, offering more space and practicality and a much stronger road presence. We expect greater use of high-strength steel in the redesigned model, providing a noticeable improvement in body rigidity.

Besides confirming a substantial increase in length, spy shots have revealed the next-gen Hyundai Creta will have a futuristic and aggressive exterior inspired by the Hyundai Crater Concept unveiled at the 2025 LA Auto Show. Sleeker lighting, a higher and flatter hood, more muscular wheel arches, and sharper character lines should be among the key exterior changes.

Hyundai will revamp the interior as well, adopting a whole new layout in line with its recent global models such as the Ioniq 3, all-new Elantra, and new Grandeur. Spy shots have shown a slimmer and more horizontal-looking dashboard with a 9.9-inch digital instrument cluster atop it and a free-standing 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, both running Android Automotive OS.

The next-gen Creta will likely come with features such as flush-fitted door handles, smart tailgate, power driver’s seat with power lumbar support, one-touch zero-gravity position, memory, and ventilation functions, power front passenger seat with a ventilation function, and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems.

Hyundai will likely offer the next-gen Creta in petrol, CNG, and hybrid variants, all with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine under the hood, as well as a pure electric variant. Since the company has no plans to offer a diesel engine in the next-gen Bayon arriving by next month, it appears to be planning to phase out the existing 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine of the second-gen Creta without upgrading it for stricter emission norms expected in the future or introducing a new one.

The next-gen Hyundai Creta will likely go on sale in India in mid-2027. Expect it to cost somewhere around Rs. 11.25 lakh (ex-showroom) in the base trim.

4 Upcoming Maruti And Toyota Cars To Look Out For

GaadiWaadi -

From Maruti’s first electric MPV to the updated Fronx and Baleno, here’s everything expected to arrive over the next 6-12 months

Maruti Suzuki and Toyota are preparing for a busy product offensive over the coming year. While Maruti is looking to strengthen its position in both the EV and premium hatchback segments, Toyota is working on updating one of its most successful MPVs. Some of these models have already been spotted testing, while others are expected to debut over the next few months. Here’s a closer look at the four upcoming launches that could attract plenty of attention.

1. Maruti Electric MPV

Maruti Suzuki’s electric plans won’t stop with the e-Vitara. The company is also developing an all-electric MPV, internally believed to be codenamed YMC, which is expected to arrive in 2027. The electric MPV will likely use Suzuki’s Heartect-e platform, with battery packs likely to range between 50 kWh and 60 kWh. With the higher pack, we could expect a claimed range of 500 km. We can also expect features like a large touchscreen, connected car technology, wireless smartphone connectivity, Level 2 ADAS on higher variants and a practical three-row cabin. Pricing could begin around Rs 16-18 lakh.

2. Maruti Fronx Facelift

The Fronx facelift will debut on September 5, 2026. The Fronx facelift is likely to carry Suzuki’s new in-house strong-hybrid system, paired with the familiar 1.2-litre Z-Series petrol engine. Needless to say, the fuel efficiency will be quite high on this one. The existing 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol will still be on offer, although Maruti is yet to officially confirm the final powertrain lineup. Expect features such as a larger infotainment screen, a 360-degree camera, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated seats and six airbags across more variants.

3. Next-Generation Maruti Baleno

The next-generation Baleno is expected to arrive sometime in 2027, bringing the biggest overhaul to Maruti’s premium hatchback since the current generation was introduced. There will be changes to the design as well, and we could see cues from the global markets being implemented. Inside, we can expect a completely redesigned dashboard, larger infotainment system, fully digital instrument cluster, panoramic camera system and an expanded ADAS package on higher trims. Powertrain updates are likely to mirror the Fronx facelift.

4. Toyota Innova Hycross Facelift

The Toyota Innova Hycross facelift is expected to arrive in 2027. The facelift is expected to receive a redesigned front fascia with updated LED lighting, revised bumpers, new alloy wheels and minor changes at the rear. Inside, Toyota could introduce a larger infotainment system, upgraded upholstery, additional connected car features and further improvements to ADAS.

Mechanically, the Hycross is expected to remain unchanged. Buyers should continue to get the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and the 2.0-litre strong-hybrid powertrain, with the latter producing a combined 186 PS while delivering a claimed fuel efficiency of 23.24 kmpl. An e-CVT gearbox will continue to handle transmission duties on the hybrid model.
