Hyundai Motor India has witnessed phenomenal success in terms of sales in India for the last two years.

Of which, there was 1.25 lakh Creta units and 1.08 lakh Venue units, in 2021 alone.

2022 Hyundai Creta Facelift (Expected Launch: Mid-2022)
Expected Price: Rs. 11.00 lakh - Rs. 18.00 lakh
The 2022 Hyundai Creta facelift was first showcased at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2021. It now features a new exterior design that is in line with Hyundais Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, which brings it on par with the next-generation Tucson, as far as looks are concerned. The front fascia will receive a new parametric jewel pattern grille with integrated LED DRLs, and rectangular-shaped LED headlamps. The revised bumpers now get a slimmer air inlet with silver faux skid plates, along with dual-tone alloys, and redesigned LED taillights.
The 2022 Creta facelift also gets Advanced Driver Assists System, which will be available with the top-spec models here in India. Engine options for the Indian-spec Creta model are yet to be confirmed, but we are hoping it will be the 1.5-litre N.A petrol unit.

The Indian-spec 2022 Tucson will be available either in a hybrid or plug-in hybrid model. The former will equip a 1.6-litre inline-four turbo engine alongside a 44.2 kW electric motor i.e attached to a 1.49 kWh battery pack. The PHEV model will feature the same turbo inline-four engine, but along with a bigger 13.8 kWh battery and 66. kW electric motor.
2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (Expected launch: End of 2022)
Expected Price: Rs. 30 lakh onwards
The Ioniq 5 is a pure-electric SUV that is built around Hyundais dedicated BEV architecture, called Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). This platform also underpins other Ioniq models, like the Ioniq 7 and the upcoming Ioniq 6. As of now, Hyundai will only launch the Ioniq 5 in India with a premium price tag. The Ioniq 5 comes with two battery options - 72.6 kWh and 58 kWh, with both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive layouts. The bigger battery is good for 470-580 kms of range, and chances are India will get this option. With this battery pack, the Ioniq 5 puts out 306 bhp and 605 Nm of torque, and it can reach from 0-100 kmph in just 5.2 seconds.
