Hyundai Motor India has increased the prices of select cars in its range by up to a maximum of Rs. 22,000 in January 2022
With the start of the new year, carmakers are now increasing the prices of their vehicles. While the biggest reason for this is the increased cost of raw materials and transportation, it should be noted that raising car prices at the start of a year is a fairly common practice, and thus not at all surprising.
Hyundai Creta, the brand’s most popular vehicle, has seen a price hike of Rs. 7,000 across the range. As for the Venue, the price hike is up to Rs. 2,100 on the petrol version and up to Rs. 4,100 on the diesel version. The Alcazar’s prices have been increased by up to a maximum of Rs. 22,000.
Hyundai has hiked the prices of the i20 (and i20 N-Line) by up to a maximum of Rs. 6,800. The Grand i10 Nios and Aura have both seen an increase of up to Rs. 7,300. On the Santro, the price hike ranges from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 17,400, depending on the chosen variant, while the Verna is now more expensive by up to Rs. 4,000.
Interestingly, Hyundai Tucson, Elantra, and Kona EV have been spared from the latest price hike. It should be noted that the Tucson SUV is expected to undergo a generation change soon in India, and the Kona EV facelift is also expected to make its way to our market sometime this year.
Other than that, the South Korean car giant has a few more models in the pipeline. The brand globally unveiled the Creta facelift a little while back, which will likely be introduced in the Indian market this year. The manufacturer is working on the Venue facelift and the next-generation Verna as well, both of which have been spotted testing in the manufacturer’s home country.
