Hyundai Cars To Cost Up To ₹12,800 More From June 1

Hyundai Motor India has confirmed a price hike across its entire lineup effective June 1, 2026 — citing rising steel and aluminium costs, higher commodity prices, and increased operational expenses. The increase, first signalled in April, was originally scheduled for May but got a one-month breather.

The hike is up to ₹12,800 and varies by model and variant — meaning the hike will vary depending on the model and variant. For example, your Grand i10 Nios won't bleed as much as a top-spec Tucson.

Hyundai said it has been absorbing part of the cost pressure internally, but the continued rise in production and operating expenses has made a price correction necessary. This will be Hyundai’s second price increase in CY2026, after a weighted average hike of around 0.6% in January 2026.

Hyundai isn't alone. Maruti Suzuki is raising prices by up to ₹30,000 from June, and Mahindra already moved in April. This is a full-blown industry reset — driven by the same commodity inflation squeezing every carmaker's margins.

For customers planning to buy Hyundai cars such as the Grand i10 Nios, Aura, Exter, i20, Venue, Creta, Verna, Alcazar, Tucson or Ioniq 5, the on-road price impact could be slightly higher than the ex-showroom hike once insurance, registration and taxes are factored in.

The hike is not very steep compared to the overall vehicle price, but for high-volume models like the Creta, Venue and Exter, even a small increase can influence end-of-month buying decisions. For Hyundai, the bigger challenge will be to protect demand in price-sensitive segments while maintaining margins in its strong SUV portfolio led by the Creta, Venue and Exter.
