Hyundai Motor India had a strong month in October 2026, delivering 62,799 units.

This is an increase of 17% compared to October 2025 where they delivered 53,792 units. This growth is due to the popularity of the budget sub-4 meter models, however the Creta is still Hyundai’s top seller despite a slight drop.

Overall Sales

Overall Hyundai performed well in October 2026, reflecting the typical seasonal boost seen in the Indian passenger car market. They delivered 62,799 units thanks to their extensive range. Their SUVs are still performing strongly with the Creta, Venue and Exter contributing almost 39,500 units.

They also saw good growth from the Aura, i20 and Grand i10. The recently launched Bayon also contributed well to their sales with 3,449 units. However, the Verna, Alcazar and Ioniq 5 are still struggling to perform.

Top Seller – Creta

Hyundai’s Creta was their top seller of the month with 17,955 units. However, this was a slight drop of 2% compared to October 2025 where they sold 18,381 units.

Despite being an older model and having increased competition due to the number of new models launched this year, the Creta is still performing well. It has a great brand recognition and offers a large number of variants with a great service network to keep customers interested.

The slight drop shouldn’t be a cause for concern as October is a busy month with many customers looking at newer models. The Creta still had a huge amount of volume and managed to stay above 17,000 units.

Venue & Exter

Hyundai’s Venue was their second best seller with 13,017 units. This is an increase of 11% from October 2025 where they sold 11,738 units. This shows the popularity of the compact SUV.

The Exter performed even better with an increase of 35% from 6,294 units in October 2025 to 8,503 units. This is impressive given how price sensitive this market is with models like the Tata Punch.

Both the Venue and Exter show how well Hyundai are doing with their sub-4 meter SUVs. They are both great budget options with compact sizes and feature packed.

Aura & i20

The Aura had a good month with an increase of 26% from 5,815 units in October 2025 to 7,349 units. This shows how popular budget family cars are with customers.

The i20 had the highest percentage growth with an increase of 37%. They sold 5,528 units compared to 4,023 units in October 2025.

This is impressive considering the premium hatchback market has been suffering from the popularity of compact SUVs. However, the i20 shows that customers are still interested in the extra space and features it offers with a premium feel.

Grand i10 & Bayon

The Grand i10 had a small increase of 1%, selling 5,458 units compared to 5,426 units in October 2025. However, they still had a good amount of volume showing their consistent customer base.

The Bayon performed well in their first month since launch on the 26th of October. They sold 3,449 units. This is a great start for a new model however we will have to wait and see how the demand will be in the future. It looks like Hyundai have managed to create some hype around their newest compact.

It also helped them to reach their 17% increase. If they can keep this up then it could be a big volume contributor for them in the future.

Verna, Alcazar & Ioniq 5

The Verna continue to be a low volume car with 775 units sold. This is a decrease of 6% from October 2025 where they sold 824 units. This is due to the mid-size segment shrinking with more people wanting SUVs.

The Alcazar had an even worse month selling only 758 units. This is a decrease of 40% from 1,259 units in October 2025. It appears this three row SUV based on the Creta is struggling with the new seven seat models on the market.

The Ioniq 5 had a terrible month with only one unit sold. This is a decrease of 83% from 6 units in October 2025. Due to it being an expensive import and not being produced locally, it is a niche product and therefore has low volume.

Overall, Hyundai performed well in October 2026 showing they do well with their budget and compact models. The Venue, Exter, Aura, i20 and Grand i10 contributed a large proportion of their sales with the Creta continuing to be their top seller.

The Exter and i20 had a great increase showing Hyundai can attract customers outside of their SUV range.

However, they did struggle with the Verna, Alcazar and Ioniq 5. They may need to update these models or change their positioning.

What To Expect

Overall Hyundai performed well in October. With the Bayon now on sale and their SUVs and hatches performing well they should continue to perform well in the coming months.

The main thing to watch will be if they can keep this momentum going once the festive period is over. They will need to continue to offer good finance deals, favourable exchange bonuses and feature upgrades to keep customers interested. It will be interesting to see if the Creta can keep their dominance and if the Bayon can continue to perform well.
