South Korean automaker Hyundai saw decent growth for its Indian operations in October 2026. The company dispatched 62,799 cars last month, and compared to October 2025, when the volume stood at 53,792 units, this marked a growth of 17%. As usual, SUVs were its top-selling models, with the Creta occupying the first position.
Hyundai sold 17,955 units of the Creta in India in October 2026. This made the model India’s best-selling mid-size SUV last month, but compared to October 2025 (18,381 units), the volume was 2% lower. Despite being an old model and facing strong competition from many new rivals that went on sale this year, the Creta is holding its turf.
The Venue was Hyundai’s second-highest-selling model last month, contributing 13,017 units to its sales. Compared to the same month last year (11,738 units), the Tata Nexon rivaling compact SUV’s sales increased by 11%. The Exter ranked third, with 8,503 units sold. Compared to October 2025 (6,294 units), the Tata Punch rival’s sales were up 35%.
