Hybrid Strategy
Hyundai understands that the journey of electric vehicles in India is a long one. Charging infrastructure, pricing, and usability – every aspect will take time to develop. In this scenario, strong hybrid powertrains act as a bridge, offering improved fuel efficiency, maintaining performance, and making it easier to comply with regulations. This is why the share of hybrid models in Hyundai’s SUV lineup is expected to increase in the coming years.
Flagship Hybrid SUV
At the heart of this strategy is the idea of a flagship hybrid SUV. Hyundai is evaluating the global Palisade Hybrid for the Indian market. In international markets, this SUV comes with a 2.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine and an electric motor, which together produce 334 hp of power and 460 Nm of torque.
If it gets the green signal for India, it could become Hyundai’s most premium local SUV. Talking about the timeline, its entry around 2028 is considered possible. Large body, strong hybrid set-up and luxury feel — This model can give a new dimension to the brand’s image.
Next-Gen Creta (SX3)
Hyundai’s focus before the flagship will be on the segment where the highest volume is the mid-size SUV. Next-Gen Creta, being called Internally SX3, is getting ready on an entirely new platform. Design language changes, light-hearted dimensional tweaks and an all-new cabin layout will make Creta fresh again.
The powertrain can continue with the current 1.5-liter NA petrol, turbo petrol and diesel options. But the real highlight will be the Strong Hybrid System, which will likely be paired with the 1.5-liter NA petrol. This is expected to cause a big jump in mileage without even losing driving fun.
New Three-Row Hybrid SUV (Ni1i)
The third important name in Hyundai’s Hybrid line-up is a new Three-Row SUV, which is being called Internally Ni1i. The model will be positioned between Alcazar and the now discontinued Tucson.
This will be for customers who need more space and premium feel than Alcazar, but not the price of a full-size SUV. It is also expected to have a Hybrid-spec 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine. Talking about launch timing, it can debut around Next-Gen Creta — ie both will strengthen each other.

Tucson Hybrid
Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-in Hybrid, already available in global markets, demonstrate Hyundai’s expertise in hybrid technology. This same technology will be localized for the India-spec models to ensure both affordability and ease of service. This will give customers confidence that hybrid technology is not just a trend, but a long-term solution.
