Hyundai Motor India recorded its strongest-ever monthly sales performance in October 2026, with domestic dispatches reaching 62,799 units. The company registered a healthy 16.7% year-on-year growth compared with 53,792 units sold in October 2025. The festive season, strong demand for SUVs and improved performance across several models helped Hyundai achieve this milestone.

The Hyundai Creta continued to lead the company's model-wise sales chart, while the Venue delivered its highest-ever monthly domestic sales. Other popular models, including the Exter, Aura, i20 and Grand i10 Nios, also contributed to the overall performance. The newly introduced Hyundai Bayon added another name to the company's growing SUV portfolio.

Hyundai Model-Wise Sales Breakup – October 2026

Hyundai Creta Remains the Best-Selling Model

The Hyundai Creta retained its position as the company's best-selling vehicle in October 2026, recording 17,955 units. However, sales declined by approximately 2% compared with 18,381 units in October last year.

Despite the marginal annual decline, the Creta remained Hyundai's biggest volume contributor. Its popularity in the midsize SUV segment continues to support the company's overall domestic sales performance.

Hyundai Venue Achieves Record Monthly Sales

The Hyundai Venue delivered one of the biggest highlights of October 2026. The compact SUV registered 13,017 units, marking its highest-ever domestic monthly sales.

Compared with 11,738 units in October 2025, the Venue recorded approximately 11% year-on-year growth. It also improved by around 14% compared with September 2026.

The strong performance indicates growing demand for Hyundai's compact SUV, particularly following the introduction of its updated generation.

Hyundai Exter and Aura Record Strong Growth

Hyundai Exter – 8,509 Units

The Exter recorded 35% year-on-year growth, increasing from 6,294 units in October 2025. It remained one of Hyundai's strongest growth contributors.

Hyundai Aura – 7,349 Units

The Aura registered approximately 26% annual growth compared with 5,815 units in the corresponding month last year.

Both models helped Hyundai strengthen its position across the entry-level SUV and compact sedan segments.

Hyundai i20 and Grand i10 Nios Maintain Momentum

Hyundai i20 – 5,528 Units

The i20 recorded impressive year-on-year growth of approximately 37%, compared with 4,023 units in October 2025.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios – 5,458 Units

The Grand i10 Nios registered nearly stable performance, with sales increasing slightly from 5,426 units last year.

The performance of both hatchbacks shows that Hyundai continues to receive support from its established passenger car portfolio alongside its popular SUVs.

Hyundai Bayon Records 3,449 Units

The newly introduced Hyundai Bayon recorded 3,449 units in October 2026. Its addition gives Hyundai another SUV nameplate in its portfolio and provides an additional source of sales volume.

As a newly introduced model, the Bayon does not have a comparable October 2025 sales figure. Its contribution in the coming months will be important in understanding its position within Hyundai's SUV lineup.

Verna and Alcazar Experience Year-on-Year Decline

Hyundai Verna – 775 Units

The Verna recorded a 6% decline compared with 824 units in October 2025.

Hyundai Alcazar – 758 Units

The Alcazar registered a sharper 40% decline compared with 1,259 units in October last year.

These figures indicate that Hyundai's premium sedan and three-row SUV offerings continued to experience comparatively lower demand than its high-volume models.

Hyundai India Records Highest-Ever Monthly Sales in October 2026

Hyundai Motor India achieved total sales of 82,299 units in October 2026, including 62,799 domestic units and 19,500 exports. Overall sales increased by 17.7% compared with the same month last year.

Domestic sales grew by 16.7%, while exports increased by 21.1%. The company also highlighted the Venue's record-breaking monthly domestic performance as an important contributor to its October results.

The October performance highlights Hyundai's continued dependence on its SUV portfolio, particularly the Creta, Venue and Exter. At the same time, the growth of the Aura and i20 demonstrates that its sedan and hatchback models remain relevant to the company's overall sales mix.

Conclusion

Hyundai's October 2026 sales performance reflects strong festive-season demand and improved momentum across several models. While the Creta remained the company's bestselling vehicle, the Venue achieved a new monthly sales record. The Exter, Aura and i20 also delivered healthy annual growth.

With the Bayon joining the lineup and several established models continuing to contribute, Hyundai will look to maintain its momentum in the coming months.
