The next-gen Hyundai Creta and an all-new premium three-row SUV positioned above Alcazar could get a strong hybrid powertrain
At the BMGE 2025 in Delhi, Hyundai marked a major step in its electric journey with the debut of the Creta Electric. This new entrant played a crucial role in pushing the Creta lineup to record-breaking monthly sales earlier this year. The brand is now planning to bring in a number of electrified offerings including hybrids.
Internally codenamed SX3, the fourth generation Creta is being developed by the Korean brand and is slated for a 2027 launch. Production for the upcoming model will remain at the company’s Tamil Nadu facility. While the new iteration is expected to bring notable updates in both design and features, the current engine and transmission configurations could be retained.
A strong hybrid petrol engine could emerge as one of the major taking points in the next generation Creta. Alongside this, Hyundai is also readying a new premium SUV to slot between the Tucson and Alcazar. The forthcoming model will be manufactured at the company’s Talegaon facility which will begin operations next year.

Codenamed Ni1i, the SUV is being prepared to take on established rivals like the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and Mahindra XUV700 and it could be sold in both six- and seven-seater layouts. For customers focused on fuel efficiency, the adoption of a strong hybrid powertrain may offer a viable alternative to traditional petrol and diesel units.
In the Rs. 18 lakh to 30 lakh SUV bracket, Hyundai’s upcoming model could intensify market rivalry especially against the Mahindra XUV700 as it is available in an expansive range but we will have to wait and see what really happens. Drawing inspiration from the Chinese long wheelbase Tucson, which stretches to 4.68 metres, the brand may position it as a roomier choice compared to the Alcazar.
