Hyundai Creta, Verna, Venue all set to become more expensive in new year
Hyundai Motor India has announced a price hike across its model range with effect from January 2023. The South Korean auto giant said that it will be increasing prices owing to “rising input cost." The company further said has continued to absorb rising costs but now decided to pass on a part of the cost increase to customers through the price revision.
That said, Hyundai India has not announced the quantum of the price hike that will be applicable on its product portfolio. The automaker did say it will make internal efforts to minimise the price impact on customers. Hyundai’s domestic range starts with the Grand i10 Nios, and includes models like the Verna, Venue, Creta, Alcazar, Kona Electric and Tucson.

Expect the Ioniq 5 prices to factor in the price increase upon launch.
Hyundai joins the many automakers who have announced price hikes for the new year. While price increments around the new calendar year have always been the norm, the rising cost of materials have only made hikes more frequent throughout the year. In most cases, carmakers have hiked prices for about four times this in 2022.
Carmakers including Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Kia, Renault, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Citroen and Jeep India, among others, have all announced price increments from January 2023. On the two-wheeler side, Hero MotoCorp and Tork have announced price hikes while more will follow suit soon.
