Hyundai to cover multiple segments with new budget and premium cars this year, with the first launch expected in the second quarter of the year
In addition to the usual model year enhancements, Hyundai plans to introduce four new cars in India this year. The company will cater to both budget and premium segments with the upcoming models.
Following its three-year product lifecycle like in global markets, Hyundai will roll out a facelift for the sixth-generation Verna this year. The company launched the original model in March 2023 and will likely launch the updated model as early as April this year.
The new Verna will have a sharper and more aggressive front inspired by the latest Sonata and come with several new features, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with customisable modes and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, both featuring the new ccNC software. It is unlikely to see any mechanical changes.

Later in the second quarter of the year, Hyundai will give the Exter its mid-cycle facelift. There have been rumours of the new Exter getting a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 9.9-inch digital instrument cluster. The updated model should also feature redesigned bumpers, tweaked headlamps and tail lamps, and new 15-inch alloy wheels. Hyundai is unlikely to make any changes to the engines or transmissions of the Exter with the facelift.
Sometime in June or July, Hyundai will likely launch the new Ioniq 5, which it revealed internationally way back in March 2024. The facelifted model features subtle design changes and gains a rear windshield wiper and washer, Digital Key 2, a new, three-spoke steering wheel, and a ccNC-based 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment system. A larger, 84 kWh battery pack will improve the driving range.

Around the festive season, Hyundai will likely conduct its most important launch of the year – Bayon. This will not be the current model sold internationally but the upcoming, second-generation model that is currently under development. The Bayon will be a sub-4 metre SUV positioned above the Venue, featuring a sportier and more technical-looking exterior. Based on the same platform as the next, fourth-generation i20’s platform, it will debut Hyundai’s hybrid-ready 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine.
