Hyundai Motor India has shared some interesting numbers, giving us a clearer picture of what buyers are really loving in the Indian auto market. From the booming demand for SUVs to the rising interest in sunroof and ADAS-equipped models, the brand’s recent stats say a lot about shifting customer preferences. Let’s break it all down.
SUVs
SUVs are clearly stealing the show. According to Hyundai, out of every three cars it sells in India, two are SUVs. That’s a strong signal of how much the SUV trend has taken over. Models like the Creta, Venue, Exter, Alcazar, Tucson, and even the electric Ioniq 5 make up this fast-growing lineup.
What’s more impressive is that the brand’s SUV share has gone up from 63.2 per cent in FY23-24 to a solid 68.5 per cent in FY24-25. That’s a near 5 per cent increase year-on-year — not something you see every day in a segment that was already doing well.
Sunroof
Indians really love their sunroofs, and Hyundai’s numbers prove it. Around 53.2 per cent of all Hyundai buyers opted for variants that come with a sunroof. That means every second car sold has a sunroof on top — literally.
Interestingly, Hyundai offers sunroof-equipped variants in 12 of the 14 models they sell in India. This wide availability definitely plays a role in this feature’s popularity. Sunroofs used to be a premium-only option, but now, they’re becoming a must-have across budget segments too.
ADAS
Now, let’s talk about tech — specifically ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). These smart safety features are quickly becoming a big factor in buying decisions. Hyundai’s data shows that 14.3 per cent of its total car sales came from ADAS-equipped variants in FY24-25. That’s a massive jump from just 6.7 per cent in the previous year.
That’s more than double the uptake in just one year. Clearly, Indian buyers are now taking safety tech seriously. ADAS is currently offered in nine Hyundai models in India, and with demand rising, we might see even more models getting this suite in the future.
Powertrains
One of Hyundai’s biggest strengths is its engine and fuel variety. Whether you’re a petrolhead, a diesel fan, or an eco-conscious EV buyer, Hyundai has something for you. The brand offers naturally aspirated petrol, turbo-petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric options across its lineup.
Pair that with a wide gearbox range — including five-speed and six-speed manuals, iMT, AMT, torque converter automatics, and seven-speed DCTs — and it’s clear why customers gravitate towards Hyundai. There’s something for every kind of driver, whether they want performance, convenience, or efficiency.
Variants
Another major reason behind Hyundai’s consistent sales performance is the sheer number of variant options available across models. It allows buyers to find a perfect fit based on their exact budget and feature preferences. Whether it’s entry-level practicality or top-spec luxury, Hyundai’s got the base covered.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what Hyundai buyers are choosing:
| Feature/Segment | Percentage of Buyers |
|---|---|
| SUV Sales | 68.5% |
| Sunroof Variants | 53.2% |
| ADAS Variants | 14.3% |
With all these features and options in place, Hyundai is not just following trends — it’s helping shape them. As Indian buyers continue to demand more tech, variety, and style in their cars, Hyundai seems well-prepared to meet those expectations.
