Hyundai to Launch 25 New Cars in India: From MPVs to Off-Road SUVs by 2030
Hyundai Motor India is gearing up for its most aggressive expansion yet. The company has confirmed plans to launch 25 new cars by 2030, ranging from compact SUVs and MPVs to hybrid and electric models. Following the new generation Venue’s debut, the next five years will see Hyundai push deeper into every major segment of the Indian market.
Hyundai’s Vision for India
This announcement isn’t just about new products, it’s about Hyundai’s long-term strategy for India. The company aims to reach a one-million-unit annual production milestone by 2028, supported by its new Pune plant with a capacity of 2.5 lakh cars. Hyundai also plans for 30 per cent of this output to go toward exports by 2030, reinforcing India’s position as a global production hub.
Beyond scale, Hyundai is shifting its focus to cleaner and more premium mobility. Over the next five years, it will launch eight hybrid vehicles, alongside its first made-in-India electric SUV in 2027. The next-generation Hyundai Creta will lead this hybrid transformation, marking a major step in the brand’s sustainability roadmap.
The New Lineup: 25 Models in 5 Years
Hyundai hasn’t revealed full details yet, but the lineup is expected to cover every niche. The company is working on a new MPV, likely the Stargazer or Staria, positioned to rival the Kia Carens and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. There’s also confirmation of an off-road SUV, hinting at a rugged new direction inspired by global adventure trends.
A new crossover based on the European Bayon is also in development, aimed at buyers looking for a compact yet premium urban vehicle. Meanwhile, the flagship Palisade SUV is finally on track for an Indian launch by 2028 with a hybrid powertrain, bringing Hyundai’s luxury SUV experience to Indian roads.
The Genesis Entry and Premium Strategy
In perhaps the most anticipated move, Hyundai’s luxury division, Genesis, will officially enter India in 2027. This marks Hyundai’s intent to step into the premium car segment, directly competing with brands like Lexus, Volvo, and Audi. With its focus on futuristic interiors and bold design, Genesis is expected to redefine what luxury means in the Indian context.
The move also complements Hyundai’s larger goal of moving upmarket. By leveraging Genesis, Hyundai will bridge the gap between mass mobility and premium aspirations, establishing India as both a volume and value market for the brand.
Segment Watch: From Mass to Premium Mobility
Hyundai’s upcoming models will target every customer type, from budget buyers to luxury seekers. The strategy is clearly strengthening its foothold in the mass segment while climbing toward the premium and electric future. With hybrids, EVs, and ICE models sharing space in showrooms, Hyundai is preparing for an era where variety drives loyalty.
The Road Ahead
With 25 new cars planned, Hyundai is not just expanding its lineup but redefining its purpose in India. From building small family cars to crafting luxury EVs, the brand’s evolution mirrors India’s own automotive growth story. The road to 2030 will be crucial, and if Hyundai’s plan succeeds, it could become the first automaker to balance mass appeal with global innovation – right here in India.
