Hyundai will increase prices across its entire range from June 1 2026, with the maximum hike going up to Rs. 12,800, depending on the model and variant.
This is the fourth price revision by Hyundai in 2026 and the second in just two months, driven by rising input costs and operational expenses.
Hyundai has announced a price increase across its complete range, effective from June 1 2026. The hike goes up to a maximum of Rs. 12,800 and will vary depending on the model and variant in question.
So whether you are eyeing the entry-level Exter or the more premium Alcazar, the sticker price you see today will not be the one you pay next month.
In an official statement, Hyundai attributed the hike to rising input costs, increased commodity prices and higher operational expenses. The automaker added that while it continuously strives to optimise costs and minimise the impact on its customers, it is constrained to pass on some of the increased costs to the market through this nominal price increase.
It is the kind of language that has become familiar in automotive press releases over the past year or so. Companies rarely enjoy raising prices, and Hyundai is clearly aware of how buyers will receive the news. That said, the scale of the increase, while not trivial, is relatively contained given the broader pressures the industry is facing.
This is the second time in two months that Hyundai has hiked its prices, and the fourth time this year. That frequency says something about the sustained nature of the cost pressures manufacturers are dealing with.
For buyers who have been sitting on the fence, it is a clear signal that waiting it out may not yield any savings.
Hyundai is far from alone in this situation. A host of manufacturers across various segments have hiked their prices over the last few months, all of them citing rising input costs and higher operational expenses.
A significant contributing factor is the unrest in the Gulf nations, which has placed pressure on crucial transport corridors. With global supply chains already stretched thin, any disruption to shipping routes feeds almost directly into the cost of bringing raw materials and finished goods to market. The ripple effect eventually reaches the showroom floor.
For anyone actively considering a Hyundai purchase, the window to lock in the current price is closing fast. The hike applies across the range, which means models like the Venue, Creta and Alcazar will all see adjusted pricing from the first of June.
Booking at the current price before the month ends remains the most straightforward way to avoid paying more.
