Sunroofs are no longer a premium feature for Indian car buyers. Sunroof-equipped models accounted for 57% of Hyundai Motor India Ltd’s sales in FY26, while automatic transmission vehicles made up more than 24%, reflecting rising demand for premium features.
“Premuimisation remains a key focus. We take pride in our continued effort to democratise premium features across models, driving higher adoption, with sunroof penetration close to 57% and automatic transmission at over 24%,” Dong Huwy Park, Whole-time Director and COO, said in the South Korean carmaker’s Annual Report 2025-26.

SUVs, which accounted for 68% of Hyundai’s domestic sales in FY26, continued to drive growth during the year, aided by the Creta. Hyundai’s combined domestic and export sales of the Creta and Creta Electric crossed 208,000 units in FY26, making it the highest annual sales achieved by a mid-size SUV in India.
