Multiple all-new SUVs and an all-new hatchback likely to make entry into Hyundai showrooms in India by next year
Facing stiff competition from homegrown rivals Tata Motors and Mahindra, Hyundai is planning a wave of new launches to defend its position in the Indian car market. The company is likely to launch four all-new models by 2027.
The first major launch from Hyundai in the near future will be the next-gen Bayon, a new mid-size SUV set to be positioned between the Venue and Creta. The next-gen Bayon should feature a more dynamic exterior than the Creta, which would make it more appealing to younger customers who prefer a sportier and more technical look over strong road presence.
Reports say the next-gen Bayon will debut a newly developed 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, although a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine is also expected to be offered at launch. Hyundai could introduce a hybrid powertrain option a year or two after the launch, expected to take place by September.

In early 2027, Hyundai will likely launch its Tata Punch.ev rival, codenamed ‘HE1i’. The pure electric micro-SUV will feature a squarish silhouette, pixel-inspired front and rear lights, and a high ground clearance. The interior is expected to have a minimalist layout, with the cockpit area featuring a 9.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Hyundai could offer two LFP battery pack options, with the larger one delivering a range of 375-400 kilometres.
Later in 2027, possibly in the summer, Hyundai will likely launch the next-gen Creta. Inspired by the Hyundai Crater concept, the all-new Creta will be underpinned by Hyundai Motor Group’s K3 platform and be significantly larger, likely measuring approximately 4.5 metres in length. Inside, the redesigned model would be noticeably spacious and likely adopt the same display concept as the aforementioned micro-SUV. Unlike the current Creta, the next-gen model is expected to be offered with a hybrid powertrain as an option, based on a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine.

Hyundai is developing an all-new i20 as well, and it is likely to launch the fully redesigned premium hatchback in India at the end of 2027. Spy shots suggest it will have a familiar sporty character, but with a completely new design. Inside, these images have indicated that Hyundai is planning to offer a curved panoramic panel that seamlessly integrates the driver information display and the touchscreen infotainment system. Another major upgrade will likely be the availability of a slew of Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems.
