Performance-Based Insights
Top 3 Performers (May 2024 Sales)
SUVs dominate the sales chart of Hyundai India. On the 4th, 5th and 6th spot, we have 2 hatchbacks and 1 sedan. So, hatches and sedans are continuing with a significant demand. It’s just not as strong as it is for that of the SUVs, especially for sedans. A lack of MPV in the portfolio is apparent as MPVs are also quite popular in the Indian market.

Top Gainers (YoY % Change)
Where we have nothing to say, we won’t say something just for the sake of it. So, here are the top 3 YoY gainers of May 2024 in the Hyundai portfolio:
-
Creta (+1.47%): Except for Creta, there are no YoY gainers in Hyundai’s portfolio. It’s too early to judge if this is a cause for concern. It’s possible that they may be waiting to clear out the old inventory with the dealers before shipping new stock. After all, these are sales figures from Hyundai to the dealers; not from the dealers to the customers.
Top Losers (YoY % Change)
-
Kona (-100%): Hyundai India recently removed Kona from their official website. So, finally, we can put the Kona to rest. But this should open up some bandwidth in Hyundai’s portfolio to launch a C-segment electric SUV. A Creta EV may be?
-
Ioniq 5 (-73.75%)
-
Verna (-62.54%): The Verna has good feature distribution, long feature list and good pricing. The Verna managed to move the City out of the top spot but so did the Slavia and Virtus — with a smaller dealer network. Clearly, there’s demand for the sedans. Perhaps the buyers are willing to look past the style and are interested in the practicality and high ground clearance. Thus the better sales figures of cross-country like sedans of Virtus and Slavia with their SUV-like 179mm ground clearance.
-
Alcazar (-61.36%): The Alcazar failed to establish itself as a successful 3-row SUV despite being based on the extremely popular Creta. Now, it’s up for a refresh as it’s yet to get the updates Creta received early in 2024. We expect its sales to remain modest till the refresh and then, depending on the scope of updates and pricing, it may get going again.
Top Gainers (MoM % Change)
-
Grand i10 Nios (+4.12%)
-
Venue (+2.27%)
Top Losers (MoM % Change)
-
Alcazar (-22.56%)
-
Tucson (-16.42%)
-
Verna (-12.09%)
Since MoM change doesn’t mean much in the broader view, we’ll leave it without any comments.
Body-Type Based
Just like Maruti, Hyundai’s SUVs also continue to gain ground aggressively at the cost of hatchbacks and sedans. If only Hyundai had an MPV in the portfolio targeting fleet as well as individual buyers. That would have become a machine to print money without much marketing effort and spending.
