Hyundai June 2025 sales data reveal a telling narrative: while the Hyundai Creta solidified its position as the brand’s best-selling model, many of its stablemates saw steep declines. The numbers reflect more than just seasonal or economic shifts—they showcase evolving consumer priorities and increasing competition in India’s fast-moving passenger vehicle segment.
This article breaks down Hyundai’s June 2025 model-wise performance, analyzes YoY and MoM trends, and forecasts what’s next for India’s second-largest carmaker in an increasingly SUV-driven and EV-curious marketplace.
Hyundai June 2025 Sales Overview
Hyundai sold a total of 54,024 passenger vehicles in June 2025 across 10 nameplates (excluding Kona, which recorded no sales). Despite the overall volume, the performance was uneven—propped up primarily by the Hyundai Creta, which contributed nearly 29% of all units sold.
Models like the Venue, Verna, i20, and Exter faced sharp YoY declines, hinting at either saturation, stronger competition, or limited consumer interest in traditional body styles like hatchbacks and sedans.

Model-Wise Performance Breakdown
Hyundai Creta: The Uncontested Leader
With 15,786 units sold in June 2025, the Hyundai Creta was not only the top-selling model for the brand but also one of the most sold SUVs in India across all manufacturers. Although its YoY numbers dipped by 3%, it posted a 6% MoM growth, showcasing its unshaken dominance in the highly competitive midsize SUV segment.
Creta’s success is rooted in its refined design, rich feature list, multiple powertrain options, and consistent updates. It remains Hyundai’s strongest asset in an otherwise shaky portfolio.
Hyundai Venue: Losing Steam
Once a compact SUV leader, the Venue is facing a steep decline with 6,858 units sold in June—down 31% YoY and 9% MoM. Despite a facelift introduced earlier in 2024, the Venue is being edged out by rivals like Tata Nexon, Maruti Fronx, and Mahindra XUV 3XO, which offer newer tech and more aggressive pricing.
Exter: Growth Stalls
The micro-SUV Hyundai Exter, designed to target entry-level buyers and urban users, registered 5,873 units, a 15% YoY drop, and remained flat MoM. It suggests initial demand may have peaked, and future volumes will depend on variant rationalization and feature updates.
Hyundai Aura: The Unexpected Gainer
One of the few bright spots in Hyundai June 2025 sales, the Aura compact sedan registered 5,413 units, up 26% YoY and 4% MoM. Despite the sedan segment’s decline, the Aura appeals to budget buyers and fleet operators seeking fuel efficiency and lower running costs.
Grand i10 and i20: Declining Hatchback Relevance
The Grand i10 Nios sold 4,237 units, down 14% YoY, while the i20 Elite fell harder with just 3,785 units, marking a 29% YoY decline. These numbers underscore the continuing loss of interest in hatchbacks, especially in urban centers where buyers prefer compact SUVs and crossovers.
Hyundai Alcazar: Premium 3-Row SUV Gains Momentum
The Alcazar posted strong growth: 1,174 units, up 33% YoY and a notable 27% MoM increase. Hyundai’s three-row offering benefits from shared platform economics with the Creta, combined with premium features, making it an attractive family SUV for upper-middle-class buyers.
Hyundai Verna: Premium Sedan Faces Market Apathy
Despite a recent overhaul, the Hyundai Verna sold just 813 units, a sharp 43% YoY drop and 13% MoM decline. This highlights the near-irrelevance of the midsize sedan category in a market that increasingly prioritizes high ground clearance, panoramic sunroofs, and SUV styling.
Tucson: Low Volumes Despite Premium Features
Selling just 73 units, the Hyundai Tucson remains a low-volume player. Despite global appeal, its high price tag and limited marketing keep it out of the mainstream. A 36% YoY decline shows the gap between perception and product placement.
Hyundai IONIQ 5: EV Halo, Minimal Volume
The IONIQ 5, Hyundai’s flagship EV, saw just 12 units sold in June 2025. With a 60% YoY drop, it remains more of a branding exercise than a volume model. The segment remains niche due to limited infrastructure and high upfront cost.
Kona Electric: No Movement
As in previous months, the Kona EV recorded zero units sold, suggesting that Hyundai may be phasing it out or allocating units elsewhere. Its replacement or facelift, if any, will be key to revitalizing Hyundai’s mid-range EV offerings.
Key Trends in Hyundai June 2025 Sales
1. Creta Is Carrying the Brand
The Hyundai Creta continues to be the linchpin of the company’s India portfolio. With nearly 30% of total Hyundai sales in June 2025 coming from Creta alone, the brand’s reliance on this single model is substantial. Any disruption in this segment could significantly impact Hyundai’s overall market share.
2. Sedans and Hatchbacks Continue to Decline
Despite a few exceptions like the Aura, Hyundai’s traditional strongholds—sedans and hatchbacks—are now in clear decline. The Verna, i20, and Grand i10 are no longer aspirational purchases and are increasingly being substituted by compact SUVs or crossovers.
3. SUV-Centric Strategy Is Paying Dividends
While models like the Venue and Exter showed declining trends, Hyundai’s broader SUV-first approach is delivering. With continued investments in the Alcazar and Creta, Hyundai is ensuring relevance in India’s fastest-growing category.
4. Electric Vehicle Segment Still Nascent
Sales from IONIQ 5 and Kona remain negligible. Though Hyundai is investing in EVs, it lacks strong positioning in the ₹10–20 lakh bracket where brands like Tata Motors have captured mass-market attention with the Nexon EV and Punch EV.
Strategic Recommendations for Hyundai
To build upon its current position and correct underperforming segments, Hyundai should:
a) Double Down on Creta Platform Expansion
A Creta-based coupe SUV or a more affordable Creta Lite variant could attract customers in the ₹10–14 lakh bracket. Strengthening Creta’s legacy with new derivatives will shield Hyundai from overdependence on one nameplate.
b) Reposition Hatchbacks or Phase Them Out
Given the consistent fall in hatchback sales, Hyundai may need to:
-
Either redesign the i10 and i20 as crossover-like hatchbacks
-
Or gradually shift their buyer base to entry-level SUVs like Exter with more feature-rich variants
c) Accelerate EV Plans
Hyundai must introduce mid-range EVs with high volume potential (₹12–20 lakh). The upcoming Creta EV and Exter EV variants could be key volume drivers if competitively priced and supported with charging solutions.
d) Reclaim Compact SUV Territory
The Venue is bleeding market share. Hyundai should consider:
-
A turbo-petrol performance variant
-
More aggressive pricing
-
Visual refreshes to differentiate it from competition
Market Outlook: What’s Ahead for Hyundai?
Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, Hyundai’s performance will depend on:
-
Creta’s sustained leadership in the midsize SUV segment
-
Entry into mass EV segment, likely via the Creta EV or Exter EV
-
Pricing correction in Venue and i20, potentially during the festive season
-
New launches or facelifts, which could revive interest in lagging segments
Industry projections suggest that compact and midsize SUVs will continue to dominate, while sedans and hatchbacks will occupy a shrinking share of the total passenger vehicle market. Hyundai must act quickly to reallocate resources accordingly.
Conclusion
The Hyundai June 2025 sales report tells a story of brand resilience amidst turbulence. The Creta stands tall as Hyundai’s crown jewel, commanding both volume and admiration. However, the sharp declines across other models—especially the Venue, i20, and Verna—signal a need for urgent realignment.
As the market evolves, Hyundai’s future lies in doubling down on SUV innovation, electrification, and reimagining affordability in an SUV-dominated era. If the company adapts swiftly, it can maintain its position as a top-tier player in India’s ever-competitive automobile landscape.
