Hyundai has announced a price increase of up to 1% for its passenger vehicle range in India from September 2026. The prices of all passenger trains of the company will be increased by 1%. This is the third time in 2026 that Hyundai is increasing the prices of its cars. According to the company, the impact of the price increase will vary on different models and variants.
**Hyundai car prices increased for the third time in 2026**
Hyundai had earlier increased the prices of all its passenger vehicles by about 0.6% in January 2026. After this, in June 2026, the company had increased the prices of certain models and variants; At that time the prices of some cars were increased by up to ₹12,800. Now in September, the company is once again going to increase the prices of all its cars. This time the increase will be up to 1%. However, Hyundai has not given exact information about the price increase for different models or variants, it has just said that the amount of increase will depend on the model and variant.
**Due to price increase**
Hyundai India said the decision to increase prices has been taken due to various reasons, including rising costs of raw materials and other critical components, rising operational costs and persistent global and economic uncertainties. The company said that although it is continuously trying to control costs and bear the burden of increased costs, due to continued cost pressure it has become necessary to pass on some part of it to customers. This means that customers buying Hyundai cars from September may have to pay more than the current prices.
**Expected to have more impact on premium models**
The impact of a price increase of up to 1% will not be the same on all models and variants. The total price hike (in rupees) for the entry-level model and variants is expected to be lower. On the contrary, premium models and high-end variants are likely to see a higher price increase.
The price hike from Hyundai will come into effect at a time when the festive season is starting in the country. The festive season is usually the most important time of the year for car sales. During this time, customers show more interest in buying new cars and manufacturers expect an increase in sales. So, it will be interesting to see what impact the price hike in September has on Hyundai's bookings and sales.
For customers, purchasing a car before the price hike may be a good option; However, they need to check the availability of specific models and variants as well as the current dealer prices.
