Hyundai June 2025 Sales Analysis – Creta, Venue, Exter, Verna, Alcazar

GaadiWaadi -

Hyundai records a marginal decline in year-over-year sales in June 2025, while the nation’s top-selling SUV, the Creta, remains in the first position

Offering one of the widest line-ups of passenger cars, Hyundai is one of the most preferred auto brands in India. The company is among the top players in the industry, with June 2025 sales data putting it in the third rank.

Hyundai sold 44,024 cars in India in June 2025. In a month that was overall slow for the car market, the company witnessed a 12.1% decline in sales compared to June last year, when it had delivered 50,103 cars. The South Korean automaker lost its second spot to Mahindra, which sold 40,022 units in June 2024 but grew to 18.2% to 47,306 units last month.

As usual, the Creta was the best-selling Hyundai model in India in June 2025. The company sold 15,786 units of this SUV last month, 3% lower than in the same month last year (16,293 units). The slightly smaller Venue was the South Korean automaker’s second most popular model, with 6,858 units sold in June 2025. However, compared to 9,890 units delivered in June 2024, that was a 31% decline.

Updated KTM 390 Adv X & Global-Spec Enduro R Launched From Rs. 3.03 Lakh

GaadiWaadi -

More features have been added to the updated 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X along with design changes while the Enduro R boasts greater off-roading capability

KTM India has introduced two new variants of its 390 Adventure range in India targetting both long distance riders and dedicated off-road enthusiasts – one is the updated Adventure X and the other is the much awaited 390 Adventure Enduro R in its global specification. The revised 390 Adventure X is priced at Rs. 3,03,125 while the new 390 Adventure Enduro R arrives at Rs. 3,53,825 (both prices, ex-showroom).

In its new form, the 390 Adventure X sees the addition of several electronic systems that were earlier exclusive to KTM’s higher-spec models. Cruise control now comes as standard offering both speed limiter and cruise functionality. New ride modes – Street, Rain, and Off-road – enable the motorcycle to adapt on the fly to changing surface conditions.

The updated trim also gets cornering ABS which maintains braking stability through lean angles along with motorcycle traction control for improved handling on loose or slippery terrain. KTM’s 390 Adventure Enduro R enters the Indian lineup as a purpose-built machine for aggressive trail use. It comes fitted with upgraded suspension equipment and draws from the brand’s Dakar-influenced experience in tackling rugged environments.

Both motorcycles continue to use the 373 cc single-cylinder DOHC liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine and are underpinned by KTM’s steel trellis frame. While the Adventure X now leans more into versatility with its added tech, the Enduro R appeals to those seeking a raw, terrain-focused machine with fewer compromises.

KTM’s decision to introduce the global-spec 390 Adventure Enduro R in India marks a notable response to earlier criticism and is Rs. 17,000 dearer than the local version which is already available for a few months now. The India-specific model has scaled down suspension travel and reduced ground clearance compared to the international configuration which features 230 mm of travel at both ends and a ground clearance of 273 mm – 19 mm higher than the domestic offering.

By contrast, the Indian version shares its suspension specs with the standard 390 Adventure, offering up to 205 mm of travel. Some of the feature highlights are a 4.1-inch colour TFT screen offering Bluetooth functionality for navigation, music and app integration. The LC4c engine produces a maximum power output of 45.3 bhp and 39 Nm of peak torque, mated to a six-speed gearbox.

Kia’s maiden attempt at mass-market EVs in India set to open a new segment of family vehicles in the country this month

The Kia Carens Clavis EV is just a week away from launch but many of its key details, including exterior, interior, features, and specifications, have already been revealed. Here are the top five things you need to know about the upcoming electric MPV.

1. Design

The Kia Carens Clavis EV will look nearly identical to the recently launched Kia Carens Clavis. The electric variant will only have minor differences such as a modified front grille, front fog lamps, and geometric-style wheels. A revised front mask will integrate the EV’s charging port in the centre.

2. Interior

The interior of the Kia Carens Clavis EV would look even more similar to its ICE donor, featuring a similar sleek dashboard, a dual panoramic display panel, a two-spoke steering wheel, and a two-tone colour scheme. The only major difference here would be a more elegantly designed centre console that offers more storage space. Rumour has it Kia will offer the Carens Clavis EV only in a seven-seat version.

3. Range and battery pack

Kia has confirmed that it will launch the Carens Clavis EV with a 51.4 kWh battery pack that delivers a range of 490 km. The company may also offer a 42 kWh battery pack that delivers a range of around 390 km to keep the entry price low. The long-range variant should have a 169 hp motor and the standard-range variant a 133 hp motor, powering the front wheels in both cases. Both variants will likely offer V2L bi-directional charging.

4. Expected price

The Kia Carens Clavis EV will likely be priced from somewhere in the 19-20 lakh rupees (ex-showroom). For reference, the ICE model it is based on is priced from 11,49,900 rupees (ex-showroom).

5. Competition

The Kia Carens Clavis EV will be the first locally manufactured electric MPV in India. It won’t have any direct competition as such. The only model that comes any close at the moment is the BYD eMax 7, which is available in six- and seven-seat versions and priced from 26.90 lakh rupees (ex-showroom). However, Mahindra is expected to launch the XEV 7e seven-seat electric SUV at a much lower price within a year.

Toyota Model-Wise June 2025 Sales Analysis – Innova Retains Its Crown

GaadiWaadi -

Despite an overall slow month for the car market in India, TKM retains momentum and grows marginally in June 2025

June 2025 may have been a weak month for the car industry overall, but Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) was an exception. The company, which mainly deals in large models and rebadged Maruti Suzuki cars, saw a marginal growth last month.

TKM delivered a total of 26,453 cars in June 2025, which, compared to June 2024 (25,752 units), marked a modest 3% growth. The company’s sales were primarily driven by the strong popularity of the Innova series of MPVs, available in the second-generation Crysta model and the third-generation Hycross model.

Including the sales of both Crysta and Hycross, TKM delivered 8,802 units of the Innova in June 2025. Compared to the same month in 2024 (9,412 units), the popular MPV saw a 6% decline in sales. Yet, the Innova series performed far better than any other original Toyota in showrooms last month.
