In the fast-moving world of Indian cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) continue to rule the roads for Hyundai Motor India. Especially the affordable ones made right here and priced below 15 lakh rupees (before showroom extras), these models are leading the charge. Remember, Hyundai used to be all about small hatchbacks and sleek sedans until the game-changing Creta arrived exactly a decade ago. Fast forward to September 2025, and SUVs made up almost one-third of the company’s total deliveries in the country!
Hyundai boasts one of the biggest ranges of cars in India โ a whopping ten different options to pick from. Last month, they moved 51,547 vehicles in our market, which is a solid 1% jump from the 51,101 units sold back in September 2024. Out of those ten models, six are tough SUVs, and together they racked up 37,313 units โ that’s a massive 72% slice of the pie! But get this: just three stars โ the mighty Creta, zippy Venue, and compact Exter โ handled 35,988 units all by themselves, covering a huge 70% of Hyundai’s entire sales.
