The performance of Hyundai models in India in November 2025
Important winners like Creta and the recently opened Venue are fueling expansion
In November 2025, Hyundai Motor India reported 66,840 vehicles sold overall, a 9.1% increase over the previous year. While exports increased significantly by 26.9% with 16,500 vehicles exported overseas, indicating strong demand abroad, domestic sales were 50,340 vehicles, up a little from the previous year.
Monthly domestic sales were somewhat lower than in October 2025 despite these annual gains, suggesting a normal post-festive decline in consumer purchases.
Hyundai's growth is led by the SUV segment
With 17,344 sales in November, the Hyundai Creta continued to be the best-selling car. When compared to November 2024, this figure showed a double-digit rise, indicating a high consumer preference for mid-size SUVs.
New Location Off to a Successful Start
Shortly after its debut, the all-new Hyundai Venue kept gaining traction. With 11,645 sales in November and a roughly 19% year-over-year growth, it became the second most popular Hyundai model for the month.
Over 32,000 reservations were made within a month of Venue's launch, demonstrating the high level of interest in the updated small SUV.
Mixed Outcomes for Other Models
Hyundai's SUVs outperformed a variety of hatchbacks and sedans. Traditional hatchbacks like the Grand i10 Nios and i20 witnessed a decline in sales from the previous year, while the Aura sedan did rather well with roughly 5,731 units sold. In November, sales of the Verna sedan and the high-end Alcazar SUV were much lower.

What This Signifies
Despite increased competition for hatchbacks and sedans, Hyundai's November sales highlight the strength of its SUV collection, particularly the Creta and the new Venue. This change is indicative of larger patterns in the Indian auto industry, where consumers are favouring SUVs due to their amenities, comfort, and space. The robust export results also point to Hyundai's increasing global influence in India.
