India, Oct. 27 -- Hyundai Motor India is betting big on its mid-size SUVs like the newly launched Bayon and highly popular Creta. The South Korean auto giant that launched the Hyundai Bayon on Monday is aiming to sell at least 2.50 lakh units of the new model and the Creta in 2027.

Interestingly, the mid-size utility vehicle segment, comprising models between 4-4.4 metres in length, including SUVs and MPVs, sold around 9 lakh units in FY26, as the Society of India Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) revealed. Hyundai alone sold close to two lakh units annually in this segment in the last two financial years with Creta alone, and the segment accounted for close to 35% of the automaker's total domestic sales in FY26.
