1. Hyundai Creta Hybrid – The Pioneer Of Hyundai’s Hybrid Lineup
Overview:
The Hyundai Creta Hybrid will mark Hyundai’s debut in India’s hybrid SUV market. It will be based on the popular new-generation Creta, launched earlier this year, and will likely share its design cues but with unique hybrid badges and aerodynamic tweaks.
Powertrain & Performance:
The Creta Hybrid is expected to feature a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a robust hybrid system—similar to the technology used in the Kia Niro Hybrid and Toyota Hyryder. This setup should deliver a combined power output of around 140 hp, with a fuel efficiency of 22–25 km/l.
The hybrid system will include regenerative braking, EV-only mode, and automatic energy management, allowing smooth transitions between electric and engine power.
Features & Design:
Expect all the premium features from the top-end Creta variants, including:
- 10.25-inch dual-screen setup (infotainment + digital cluster)
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS Level 2)
- Ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, and 360° camera
- Hybrid-specific display showing energy flow and efficiency stats
Expected Launch Date & Price:
The Hyundai Creta Hybrid is expected to launch by mid-2025, with prices starting around ₹18.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rival the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Hybrid and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Hybrid.

After the Creta Hybrid, Hyundai plans to roll out the Alcazar Hybrid, targeting customers looking for a larger, three-row hybrid SUV. With India’s growing interest in 6- and 7-seater hybrids, this model could redefine the premium SUV segment.
Engine & Hybrid Tech:
The Alcazar Hybrid will likely use the same 1.5-litre strong hybrid setup but tuned for more torque and higher power output, potentially around 160 hp. The hybrid system could also include a larger battery pack for better EV-only driving range (up to 5 km on battery alone).
Expect seamless engine-electric transitions, reduced vibrations, and a refined cabin experience — something Hyundai is known for perfecting.
Interior & Features:
Being the flagship SUV, the Alcazar Hybrid will feature:
- 7-seater configuration with captain seats
- 10.25-inch infotainment screen with BlueLink connectivity
- 8-speaker Bose sound system
- Wireless charging, ambient lighting, and an air purifier
- ADAS with lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision avoidance
- Hybrid drive analytics via infotainment display
Expected Launch Date & Price:
The Hyundai Alcazar Hybrid could launch by early 2026, with expected pricing between ₹20–24 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete directly with the Toyota Innova Hycross and Honda Elevate Hybrid in India’s upper mid-size segment.
3. Hyundai Venue Hybrid – Compact, Efficient, and Urban-Friendly

The most accessible hybrid from Hyundai’s lineup will be the Venue Hybrid, designed for urban commuters seeking performance with fuel savings. With India’s sub-4m SUV segment booming, a hybrid Venue could be a game-changer in city mobility.
Engine & Hybrid Setup:
The Venue Hybrid will likely use a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with a mild-hybrid system, featuring a 48V battery and integrated starter generator (ISG). This setup won’t be a full hybrid but will assist the engine during acceleration and start-stop operations, improving efficiency by up to 15–20%.
Expect mileage around 22 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class.
Design & Features:
The Venue Hybrid will carry Hyundai’s Parametric design philosophy with hybrid-exclusive elements like:
- Blue-accented badging and interior stitching
- Digital instrument cluster with hybrid info display
- Auto climate control, sunroof, and connected car tech
- Six airbags and improved structural safety
Expected Launch Date & Price:
The Hyundai Venue Hybrid could debut by late 2025, with prices ranging between ₹10–13.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete with Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid and Tata Nexon CNG (future variant).
Hyundai’s Vision For Hybrid & Electric Mobility In India
Hyundai has already announced an investment of ₹20,000 crore to expand its EV and hybrid portfolio in India. The automaker plans to introduce 6 new eco-friendly models by 2028, out of which 3 will be hybrids and 3 will be pure EVs (like the Ioniq 5 and Creta EV).
With India’s hybrid car sales growing by over 60% YoY in 2024, Hyundai’s strategy appears perfectly timed. The brand aims to:
- Reduce emissions by 50% by 2030
- Localize hybrid battery production.
- Offer hybrid tech in both premium and affordable segments.
This two-pronged approach will allow Hyundai to cater to both urban and semi-urban buyers, where EV infrastructure is still developing.
Rivals & Market Outlook
Once launched, these new Hyundai hybrid SUVs will face competition from:
- Toyota Hyryder & Innova Hycross
- Maruti Grand Vitara Hybrid
- Honda Elevate Hybrid
- Tata Curvv & Nexon Hybrid (expected)
However, Hyundai’s brand trust, strong after-sales network, and advanced hybrid tech give it a significant edge.
Experts predict that Hyundai’s hybrid SUVs could collectively capture over 20% of India’s hybrid SUV market within two years of launch.
Final Thoughts
The upcoming Hyundai Creta Hybrid, Alcazar Hybrid, and Venue Hybrid represent the brand’s smart approach to India’s evolving automotive ecosystem. These SUVs combine the benefits of electrification—like lower emissions and better mileage—with the convenience of petrol engines, creating a bridge toward full electric mobility.
Whether you’re a city commuter, a long-distance traveler, or a family SUV buyer, Hyundai’s upcoming hybrid lineup is sure to impress with efficiency, reliability, and futuristic design.
The future of hybrid SUVs in India is bright — and Hyundai is ready to lead the charge.
