CRETA, VENUE HYBRIDS ARE STRONG CONTENDERS

- VIKRAM CHAUDHARY

IN A MAJOR strategic shift - and a pivot away from an EV-only strategy - Korean carmaker Hyundai has said it will launch eight hybrid models in India by 2030.At the Hyundai Motor India Investor Day on October 15, it said that it foresees hybrids accounting for a substantial chunk of the company's portfolio, emerging as a challenger to the established hybrid dominance of Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, and Honda.

Which will be the models?

Hyundai has a robust hybrid lineup globally. These include hybrid versions of the Palisade, Elantra, Kona, Tucson, Santa Fe, Azera, i30, Sonata, and Staria. But none of these models are expected to be launched in India as such, and instead Hyundai is likely to develop hybrid versions of popular models such as the Creta.

Why not the above models?
