Hyundai Motor posts July sales of 60,073 units; CRETA leads SUV charge
Hyundai Motor India Ltd. (HMIL) reported total sales of 60,073 units in July 2025, comprising 43,973 units in domestic sales and 16,100 units in exports. SUVs accounted for a significant 71.8% of Hyundai's domestic monthly sales—the highest SUV contribution since the company's inception in India.
A major highlight for the automaker this month is the 10-year anniversary of the Hyundai CRETA, which continues to dominate the mid-size SUV segment. Since its launch in 2015, CRETA has become a household name with over 1.2 million units sold in India. It retained its position as the best-selling SUV in its segment every year since launch.
Commenting on HMIL sales, Mr. Tarun Garg, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer, HMIL said, 'As we celebrate the incredible 10-year journey of Hyundai CRETA in India, we are proud to see it setting new benchmarks in comfort, convenience and performance thereby holding on to the best-selling SUV crown in the Mid-SUV segment, every completed year since its launch in 2015. In the January-July 2025 period too, Hyundai CRETA has further fortified its leadership position amongst SUVs. While the overall auto industry has seen some softness in recent months, we remain optimistic with the onset of the festive season and are fully geared up with robust supply and exciting product offerings. At HMIL, we continue to stay focused on delivering enhanced value and innovation to our customers and with the upcoming state of the art facility at Talegaon, we are well positioned to adapt to market movements.'
Hyundai's upcoming manufacturing facility in Talegaon is expected to strengthen the company's supply capabilities and responsiveness to market demand.

2026 Hyundai Palisade Vs. 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe: 5 Major Differences
In the space of just a year or two, Hyundai has two fresh-faced, three-row, gas-powered crossovers on sale. The Santa Fe was completely revised as of the 2024 model year, and the 2026 Santa Fe recently debuted. These SUVs have a large pricing overlap, so it can be tricky for Hyundai fans to decide which one is the better buy. To help you make that decision, we've outlined five major differences between the 2026 Palisade and 2026 Santa Fe. Related: Every 2026 Hyundai Model Year Update You Need To Know Both SUVs come with gas and hybrid powertrains, but the Palisade has more grunt in both configurations. In the Santa Fe, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine makes 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with a newly standard eight-speed automatic and front- or all-wheel drive. By comparison, the standard Palisade has a 3.5-liter V6 with 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque; it has the same drivetrain choices as the Santa Fe. Moving on to the hybrids, the Santa Fe Hybrid's 1.6-liter four-pot hybrid makes 231 hp and 271 lb-ft combined. The transmission is a six-speed automatic, and it also has FWD or AWD. The hybrid equivalent of the Palisade uses a 2.5-liter four-pot instead, and it makes 329 hp and 339 lb-ft combined, easily more than the Santa Fe Hybrid. FWD is standard and AWD optional. While the gap between the gas-only models is smaller, many may prefer the smoothness of the Palisade's V6. Related: 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe: 5 reasons to love it, 2 reasons to think twice There's no contest here. The base Santa Fe returns 20/29/24 mpg city/highway/combined with FWD, or 20/28/23 mpg with AWD. The much larger V6 in the Palisade gets 19/25/21 mpg with FWD or 18/24/20 mpg with AWD. On paper, then, the Santa Fe's standard engine looks like the winner, as it's not far behind on power, has more torque, and is much more efficient. The Santa Fe Hybrid manages up to 37/36/36 mpg with FWD and 35/34/34 mpg with AWD. Hyundai has only said that the Palisade Hybrid is expected to get over 30 mpg and has a range of up to 619 miles. In the Santa Fe Hybrid, you can cover up to 637 miles on a full tank. Both these SUVs have slick, airy interiors. Materials are of a high quality and there's no shortage of screen real estate and tech to keep the whole family connected. The larger Palisade has an advantage in terms of accommodating passengers, though. Depending on the trim, the Santa Fe can only seat seven or six occupants. All Palisades can seat at least seven occupants, and if you go for the base SE or the Hybrid SEL Premium, it's possible to seat up to eight people. While both vehicles have generous space in the first two rows, the Santa Fe is more cramped in its third row, where it has 37.7 inches of headroom and 30 inches of legroom. In the Palisade's third row, you'll find 37.8 inches of headroom and 32.1 inches of legroom, so this is the better choice if you ever need to put older teens or adults in the back row. The Santa Fe lineup begins at $34,800 for the SE with FWD and goes all the way up to $50,250 for the Santa Fe Calligraphy Hybrid with AWD. For the base Palisade, expect to pay $38,935 for the SE with FWD and as much as $58,280 for the Hybrid Calligraphy. There are some big gaps in pricing between comparable trims. For instance, the Santa Fe Calligraphy costs $47,350, but the Palisade Calligraphy goes for $54,060, which is $6,710 more. Both these trims have classy Nappa leather, the highway driving assist system, and a camera-based rearview mirror. You do get more luxurious accommodations in the Palisade, though, such as third-row heated seats and even power-adjustable second-row seats. If you don't need a bigger third row with all the extras, you can save a lot by going for the Santa Fe. If their spacious cargo areas aren't enough, you may want to consider how much these crossovers can tow. The Santa Fe can manage 4,500 pounds in XRT guise or up to 2,000 lbs with the hybrid. The Palisade can handle up to 5,000 lbs, or as much as 4,000 lbs for the hybrid. All Santa Fe and Palisade models come with standard trailer sway control. If you absolutely need a V6, more power, or a lot of third-row space, go for the Palisade. But if you want an efficient, high-value three-row SUV, the Santa Fe is better. Between these two extremes, choosing between the Santa Fe and Palisade becomes more complicated, and could come down to comparing specification sheets and individual trim prices. The new Santa Fe is a vast improvement over the outgoing model, so has moved closer in overall capability to the more premium Palisade. Either way, you can't go wrong. These are two highly competitive products that reside at or near the top of the class. Related: 2026 Toyota RAV4 Vs. 2026 Honda CR-V: 5 Major Differences Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

7 Hybrid Vehicles To Buy in 2025 That Will Last Throughout Retirement
Looking to save on gas through your golden years? Auto expert Chris Pyle from JustAnswer breaks down what retirees need to know about hybrid vehicles — including some surprising long-term costs. Read Next: For You: While he has some specific suggestions below, his overall advice is, 'If you plan to buy a new car and keep it for a couple of years, then get whatever you like and can afford.' Hybrid Vehicles To Buy in 2025 As for Pyle's top picks for 2025 that will last you throughout your retirement, he has some specific cars he likes. His top recommendations are the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Sonata, Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla or Camry, Kia Niro, Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Prius. Pyle noted that some of these are 'brand-new hybrid cars [that cost] under $30,000. [They] also happen to be the ones getting the best MPG.' Check Out: Things To Watch Out For With Hybrid Cars However, Pyle has some caveats no matter what hybrid you buy — starting with battery costs. The Hidden Battery Cost 'Create an account for false gas fill-ups,' Pyle advised. 'If you add $50 every two weeks in gas, then put $50 in a bank account every other week.' Why? Because 'when the battery finally fails, it can be $4,000-$10,000 to replace.' That money will come in handy. The Value Factor Before buying, Pyle recommends checking Kelly Blue Book to avoid models that depreciate quickly. 'You do not want to buy a car that loses 20% value on day one,' he warned. Performance Over Time Here's something most dealers won't tell you: 'The perks of owning a hybrid go down the longer you own it,' Pyle explained. 'Every day of use the battery gets a little weaker, [until] the point the hybrid battery is out of power and can no longer help to increase MPG.' The Right Mindset Pyle offered some straight talk about hybrid ownership: 'For lack of a better word. You are cheap, you do not want to buy gas, you want to get the most bang out of every gallon of fuel.' His advice? 'Stay true to your decision and do it all the way. Only buy what you need, and less of the things you may want.'
