In line with industry trends, Hyundai will be increasing prices of its cars from new year. The company has said that prices will be increased across the range. Increase in input and material costs has been cited as the reason for price hike. The revision in prices will vary depending on the product, fuel type and variant. The new prices will be revealed in January 2021.

Last opportunity for customers

For folks planning to buy a Hyundai car, just around two weeks are left to get it at current prices. It is possible that some models may witness a significant hike in prices. Hyundai’s current bestselling products include Creta, NIOS, Venue and i20.

Talking about Creta, the next-gen model was launched earlier this year in March at a starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh.

Creta is comfortably ahead of rivals such as Kia Seltos, MG Hector, Tata Harrier, Mahindra XUV500, and Jeep Compass.

Another next-gen product that customers can buy is Hyundai i20. This was launched in November and is witnessing strong demand. In just around 40 days, sales have crossed the 20k mark. More than 30k bookings have been received till date. Much of the demand is for the higher trims of all-new i20.
