Hyundai’s domestic sales data for April 2025 reveals a continued decline across much of its lineup, as the company recorded 44,374 units sold, marking a 12% drop compared to 50,201 units in April 2024. This decrease led to Hyundai slipping to fourth place in the overall sales rankings among manufacturers. Despite the downturn, the Hyundai Creta remains the brand’s strongest performer, with 17,016 units sold in April, slightly down from 18,059 units in March 2025—a month-on-month (MoM) decline of 6%. However, it saw a 10% increase in sales compared to April 2024.
The Exter faced a significant decline, with sales dropping by 30% year-on-year, falling from 7,756 units to 5,416 units. The model also saw a slight MoM decrease of 8% compared to March’s 5,901 units. The Venue, on the other hand, recorded 7,953 units in April, down 13% compared to last year, and showed a more concerning 24% MoM dip from March’s 10,441 units. A new iteration of the Venue is in the works and expected to launch later this year, which may address these challenges.
Here’s a breakdown of Hyundai’s model-wise sales performance in April 2025:
-
Creta: 17,016 units (10% YoY growth)
-
Venue: 7,953 units (-13% YoY)
-
Exter: 5,416 units (-30% YoY)
-
Grand i10: 4,137 units (-19% YoY)
-
Aura: 4,224 units (-7% YoY)
-
i20 Elite: 3,525 units (-32% YoY)
-
Alcazar: 1,017 units (-17% YoY)
-
Verna: 1,005 units (-36% YoY)
-
Tucson: 65 units (-68% YoY)
-
Ioniq 5: 16 units (-64% YoY)
As evident, the Grand i10 and i20 Elite both saw significant declines, with year-on-year drops exceeding 19% and 32%, respectively, as well as month-on-month decreases. The sedan category also struggled, with the Verna’s sales plunging by 36% year-on-year to just 1,005 units, reflecting a 26% decline from March. The Aura, despite a smaller 7% drop compared to last year, also recorded weaker numbers.
Hyundai’s more premium offerings also felt the effects of the downturn. The Alcazar dropped by 17% year-on-year, and the Tucson saw a dramatic 68% decline. Even the Ioniq 5, Hyundai’s electric vehicle, posted a 64% drop in sales, reaching just 16 units in April, a significant drop from last year.
Despite these challenges, Hyundai remains optimistic, having launched the Creta Electric earlier this year, and is planning a wave of new models, including hybrids and electric vehicles, which should help revitalize its portfolio moving forward.
