SUVs Power Hyundai’s Growth
SUVs continued to be Hyundai’s strongest pillar of growth in September. Out of the total 51,547 domestic units sold, 37,313 were SUVs, accounting for a record 72.4% contribution to domestic volumes — the highest in the company’s history.
- Hyundai Creta led the charge with its highest-ever monthly sales at 18,861 units. This cements the Creta’s status as the undisputed benchmark in the mid-size SUV segment.
- Hyundai Venue also recorded its highest sales in the last 20 months, with 11,484 units sold, reflecting strong demand in the compact SUV segment.
- Other SUVs like the Exter, Alcazar, and Tucson contributed to overall growth, highlighting Hyundai’s comprehensive SUV portfolio across different price bands.
With SUVs forming nearly three-fourths of its domestic sales, Hyundai has successfully aligned with India’s changing consumer preference for bigger, feature-rich vehicles.
Festive Season and GST 2.0 Boost
The rollout of GST 2.0 reforms by the government played a crucial role in improving vehicle affordability, particularly in the mass and mid-size segments. This, combined with the festive cheer of Navratri, provided strong momentum in September.
Hyundai reported that customer enquiries and bookings rose sharply after the announcement of GST 2.0, with festive offers and attractive financing options further boosting retail demand. The synchronized rise in both domestic sales and exports underlines Hyundai’s ability to capitalize on policy tailwinds while meeting market demand.
Exports: Highest in 33 Months
Exports have become a key growth lever for Hyundai. In September 2025, the company exported 18,800 units, a 44% increase year-on-year, marking its highest monthly export volume since December 2022.
Between April–September 2025, Hyundai’s cumulative exports reached 99,540 units, a 17% YoY growth compared to the same period last year. This performance strengthens HMIL’s role as a global manufacturing hub for Hyundai Motor Company, supporting international markets in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Management Comment
Commenting on the performance, Tarun Garg, Whole-time Director & COO, Hyundai Motor India, said:
“We extend our sincere gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi Ji for the transformative GST 2.0 reforms, which have given wings to the aspirations of millions of people around the country. Post the announcement of GST 2.0 reforms, HMIL is witnessing a synergetic alignment of both domestic and export markets growing in tandem — a true double-engine growth. Our domestic sales in September stood at 51,547 units, driven by vibrant festive demand and strong customer interest across all segments. We have also witnessed the highest-ever domestic SUV sales penetration in the history of the company at 72.4%, with Creta scoring the highest-ever monthly sales at 18,861 units. Venue too reported a 20-month high sales volume of 11,484 units in September.
He further added:
“A true example of Make in India, exports in September soared by nearly 44% YoY to 18,800 units, marking our highest export volume in the past 33 months. This synchronized growth of SUVs and export sales underscores HMIL’s strategic importance as Hyundai Motor Company’s global manufacturing hub — a shining example of ‘Make in India, Made for the World.’ Empowered by India’s highly skilled workforce, Hyundai Motor India Limited remains committed to advancing the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and driving inclusive growth across the mobility ecosystem.
Motors77 Analysis
Hyundai’s September 2025 performance reinforces its position as a top-three carmaker in India, and more importantly, as the SUV specialist. The Creta’s record-breaking sales underline its unmatched brand equity, while the Venue’s revival signals strength in the compact SUV space. Together, these models account for a significant share of Hyundai’s volumes.
The record SUV penetration of 72.4% is a clear indicator of the structural shift in India’s car market. Customers are increasingly moving away from small hatchbacks and sedans, preferring SUVs for their road presence, practicality, and feature-rich packages. Hyundai’s wide SUV portfolio, spanning from the entry-level Exter to the premium Tucson, positions it perfectly to ride this wave.
Equally significant is Hyundai’s export performance. With nearly 100,000 units exported in just six months of FY26, HMIL is not only serving Indian customers but also strengthening Hyundai’s global supply chain. This aligns with the company’s long-term strategy of making India a manufacturing and export hub.
Looking ahead, Hyundai is expected to sustain momentum through the festive quarter, with Creta, Venue, and Exter driving volumes, and upcoming facelifts and special editions adding further excitement. The GST 2.0 benefit, combined with festive demand, will continue to support customer affordability and retail sales.
