Hyundai To Launch New MPV, 4×4 SUV & e-SUV In India

GaadiWaadi -

Hyundai is working on a diverse range of new products for India, including an MPV, a rugged off-road SUV and a new electric SUV

Hyundai Motor India has been silent for the past few months. This is likely to change as they seem to be going on a product offensive soon. In the next few years we expect to see a host of new models spanning multiple body styles and powertrains. The company continues to update its existing range. However, it is also working on all-new products aimed at tapping into high-growth segments such as MPVs, lifestyle SUVs and electric vehicles.

The Korean manufacturer is expected to get into the mass-market MPV segment with a new three-row model based on the Kia Carens Clavis platform. This MPV might replace the Alcazar that was recently discontinued. The new MPV is expected to borrow several design cues and features from Hyundai’s global portfolio while offering a premium cabin packed with connected tech and safety equipment. It is expected to be made in India and could make its debut in 2027.

Hyundai is also believed to be developing a compact off-road SUV. They even showcased a concept named ‘Boulder’ at the New York Auto show. The lifestyle-focused SUV is expected to rival the Mahindra Thar Roxx and Force Gurkha. The success of the Thar Roxx suggests that there is great demand in this segment. It only makes sense that Hyundai taps into it as well. The Boulder concept features a boxy design, high ground clearance and four-wheel-drive capability, although technical details remain under wraps.

Representational

Another product Hyundai needs is a more affordable mass-market EV. They seem to be paving the way for one. Expected to sit below the Creta Electric, this model is likely to be based on a heavily localised platform to keep costs in check. Using the Syros EV platform is highly probable. Hyundai is targeting a driving range of over 400 km and the SUV could play a crucial role in expanding the brand’s EV footprint in India.

Apart from these all-new products, Hyundai will keep refreshing its existing lineup with next-generation versions of popular models such as the Creta, Verna, Exter, etc. A hybrid is also on the cards. The next generation of the Creta will probably get a hybrid powertrain as well.

Rendering

The last few years have made it clear, Indian customers are choosing SUVs, MPVs and electric vehicles. It is but natural that Hyundai’s upcoming product offensive reflects its intent to cater to this customer base. While launch timelines are expected to stretch over the next few years, the planned additions show a promising future for the brand. For us consumers, we like to be spoiled for choice don’t we?

5 Upcoming Midsize SUVs Launching In India FY27 – Hyundai To Renault

GaadiWaadi -

Here are the five keenly-awaited midsize SUVs from the leading auto brands which are slated to launch in India by March 2027

The mid-size segment enjoys enormous popularity among the masses as it accounts for the majority of the SUV sales in the Indian market. Several leading automakers such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Kia, Skoda, MG Motor, Toyota and Mahindra offer mid-size SUVs in our country. Now, we have learnt that more new models will be launched in this segment within this financial year. Hence, in this piece, we will talk in detail about the 5 upcoming midsize SUVs launching in India in FY27.

1. MG Hector Hawk PHEV & EV

The British brand is all set to expand its SUV portfolio by launching the Hector Hawk PHEV on July 16, 2026 in the Indian market. Based on the global-spec Wuling Starlight 560, it is likely to be rolled out in both Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicle (EV) versions. The PHEV model will come with a 1.5L naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with an electric motor and a 20.5 kWh battery. On the other hand, the all-electric SUV will get a 56.7 kWh battery pack with driving range of 500 km on a full charge. Apart from the standard 5-seater version, a 7-seater configuration could also be introduced at a later stage.

2. New-Gen Hyundai Creta

Internally codenamed SX3, the next-gen Creta will be sitting on the new K3 platform as it is being readied for a market launch around early 2027 in India. Recently, the mid size SUV was spied during the cold-weather high-altitude testing in Manali, Himachal Pradesh. Some of the notable elements in the new-gen model include zero-gravity seat button, multi-link rear suspension and 19-inch alloy wheels among others. Mechanically, it will continue to carry the 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5L diesel and 1.5L turbocharged petrol engines. All these engines are likely to be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard.

3. Kia Seltos Hybrid

Kia will debut its first strong hybrid vehicle in the form of the Sorento later this year in the Indian market. And, the same hybrid engine will be borrowed by the Seltos as it prepares for an early 2027. The ongoing model’s naturally-aspirated 1.5L petrol engine will be hybridised with a dual electric motor and battery pack setup. It has been learnt that the Seltos hybrid will offer a fuel efficiency of 25 kmpl. The South-Korean brand is aiming to heavily localize the hybrid engine components to keep the costs down.

4. Renault Duster Hybrid

Renault Duster will join the bandwagon of strong hybrid SUVs (Maruti Victoris, Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder) in India later this year around the festive season of Diwali. It will be rolled out with a naturally-aspirated 1.8L four-cylinder petrol engine, two electric motors, and a 1.4 kWh battery pack. The combined power output stands at 160 hp and 172 Nm. The power will be transmitted to the wheels via a multi-mode automatic gearbox. The design, features and other components will be shared with the regular version of the Duster.

5. Honda Elevate Facelift

The 2026 Elevate facelift was spotted testing last month for the first time. The SUV is expected to get minor visual updates such as redesigned headlamps, tweaked bumpers and refreshed tail-lamp cluster. The cabin could get a fresh upholstery while modern features could make their way in the new SUV like ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera and the latest version of ADAS suite. It could also boast of a bigger touchscreen infotainment system. At the heart, it will house the same 1.5L petrol engine as the outgoing model with 6-speed manual and CVT gearbox options. The power and torque figures will remain unchanged.

Hyundai To Launch 4 New SUVs In India Within The Next 12-15 Months

GaadiWaadi -

Four new Hyundai SUVs to cover multiple segments from A to D, with one model offering even three-row seating

In October last year, Hyundai announced it had planned 26 launches, including 7 new nameplates, by March 2030. The company has since launched the all-new Venue, the new Verna, the new Exter, and the new Ioniq 5. By next year, it is expected to introduce four SUVs in our market, three of which will be new nameplates:

1. Hyundai Bayon

While the first-gen Hyundai Bayon is a Euro-focused SUV, the second-gen model is being developed keeping in mind the requirements of emerging markets as well and will be launched in India. It will be a new mid-size SUV designed to compete with the Maruti Victoris, positioned below the Hyundai Creta.

The next-gen Bayon will debut Hyundai’s new 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine in India. The company could also offer a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine or a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine to keep the entry price low.

2. Hyundai HE1i

‘HE1i’ is the codename of Hyundai’s upcoming SUV, which could challenge the Tata Punch.ev. Unlike the Creta Electric, it will be heavily localised, right down to the cell level. The company is likely to offer two battery pack options, both featuring LFP cells sourced from Exide Energy.

Rendering

The Hyundai HE1i will have a squarish exterior for a proper SUV look, along with modern details such as flush-fitted door handles and the brand’s Parametric Pixel light signature. It will likely be launched in Q1 2027.

3. Next-gen Hyundai Creta

The next-gen Hyundai Creta will be a noticeably bigger, more aggressive- and futuristic-looking SUV. Based on an all-new ‘K3’ platform, it will be more spacious and ready to accommodate a hybrid system, expected to be introduced at a later stage.

Inside, there’d be a new cockpit layout consisting of a 9.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in. Hyundai will likely launch the next-gen Creta in India in mid-2027.

4. Hyundai Ni1i

Global Tucson Hybrid

The Hyundai Ni1i is reportedly the brand’s upcoming Mahindra XUV 7XO rival. Reports say it will be based on the platform of the Tucson long-wheelbase. It will be offered with a hybrid powertrain based on a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, possibly the same one that will debut in the India-made Kia Sorento this year. The new three-row SUV from Hyundai could be launched at the end of 2027.

GaadiWaadi -

Tata Motors to cement its position as one of India’s top three carmakers with a slew of new launches and timely facelifts and refreshes

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) has significantly expanded its presence in the Indian car market in recent years. From 133,000 cars sold in FY2020, the company reached 640,000 units in FY2026, representing a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30%.

By FY2031, TMPV aims to nearly double its annual sales volume to 12 lakh units, which would represent a CAGR of approximately 13.4%. While the growth rate would be much lower, the sheer volume the company is aiming for would significantly increase its position in the Indian car market.

At TMPV’s 81st annual general meeting held on 8 July 2026, Chairman N Chandrasekaran said that the company aims to increase its market share from currently 14.2% to 20% by FY2031. The company plans to introduce six new nameplates and over 20 refreshes and facelifts to support its mid-term goals.

TMPV has confirmed that the six new nameplates will include three models in white spaces and three models in high-growth segments. The white space models will comprise two new electric models and one ICE model. The former will likely be based on dedicated EV platforms. The three models in high-growth segments will comprise a mix of ICE and electric models and likely be based on multi-energy platforms.

The mid-term strategy involves strengthening emphasis on CNG and electric cars, which TMPV estimates will start having a combined share of over 45% of the Indian car market by 2031. The company expects 47% of its growth between FY2026 and FY2031 to come from electric cars, 35% from CNG cars, and 18% from petrol and diesel cars.

The electric line-up particularly will grow from currently seven to ten models by FY2031. As for the CNG portfolio, TMPV has said that it will expand the range from currently five models but has not stated a specific number.
