Buying a new Hyundai car in India is set to become more expensive from June 1, 2026. Hyundai Motor India has officially announced a price increase of up to ₹12,800 across its vehicle lineup, citing rising input costs, higher commodity prices, and increasing operational expenses.
The revised prices will vary depending on the model and variant, impacting popular cars and SUVs such as the Creta, Venue, Verna, Exter, i20, Aura, and Grand i10 Nios.
Why Hyundai Is Increasing Prices
According to Hyundai Motor India, the company has been facing sustained pressure from increasing raw material and manufacturing costs. Rising prices of steel, plastics, metals, logistics, and imported components have significantly affected automobile production expenses.
The automaker stated that it had absorbed a major portion of these costs internally over the past few months, but current market conditions have now forced it to partially pass on the burden to customers.
Hyundai had earlier planned to implement a price hike from May 2026, but the company postponed the increase by one month in an attempt to balance customer interests and market conditions.
Which Hyundai Cars Will Be Affected?
The price revision will apply across Hyundai’s entire portfolio sold in India. This includes hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, and electric vehicles.
Some of Hyundai’s most popular vehicles in India include:
- Hyundai Creta
- Hyundai Venue
- Hyundai Exter
- Hyundai Verna
- Hyundai Aura
- Hyundai i20
- Hyundai Grand i10 Nios
- Hyundai Alcazar
- Hyundai Tucson
- Hyundai Ioniq 5
The exact increase will differ depending on the specific variant and trim level selected by customers.
Rising Costs Across India’s Auto Industry
Hyundai is not the only automaker increasing vehicle prices in India. Several major automobile companies have recently announced similar hikes due to rising production costs and global supply chain disruptions.
Recently, Maruti Suzuki also announced a price hike of up to ₹30,000 effective from June 2026.
Luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi have also revised prices upward in recent months.
Industry experts believe the ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and disruptions in global trade routes have pushed up commodity prices worldwide, especially steel, aluminium, and fuel costs.
What It Means For Car Buyers
Customers planning to buy Hyundai vehicles may now face higher on-road prices from June 1 onward. Experts suggest buyers looking to avoid the hike could consider completing bookings and invoicing before the revised prices become effective.
However, analysts also believe demand for Hyundai’s strong SUV portfolio, especially the Creta and Venue, is likely to remain stable despite moderate price increases.
Summary
Hyundai Motor India has announced a price hike of up to ₹12,800 across its vehicle lineup effective June 1, 2026. The company cited rising input, commodity, and operational costs as the key reasons behind the increase. The revised pricing will impact popular Hyundai models including the Creta, Venue, Verna, and i20, amid broader price hikes across India’s automobile industry.
