How Many Cars Did Hyundai Sell In May 2025?

Breaking down the numbers, Hyundai sold 43,861 units in the domestic market and exported 14,840 units in the same month. While domestic sales saw a notable contraction, exports remained steady, underscoring Hyundai’s growing international footprint. The company’s export performance has become a key pillar of its strategy, as it faces increasing volatility at home.

Hyundai’s domestic sales slowdown mirrors a broader market trend. Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, also posted a 5.6% year-on-year decline in domestic passenger vehicle sales in May. Industry analysts attribute the slump to weakening demand in the entry-level segment, which has traditionally been a stronghold for first-time car buyers.

Why Did Hyundai’s Sales Decline Last Month?

Hyundai attributed the sales decline partly to scheduled maintenance-related production shutdowns, adding that the company remains focused on aligning its product strategy with changing buyer preferences. SUVs continue to be a bright spot, with Hyundai doubling down on the segment despite signs that its rapid growth may be starting to taper off.

As economic headwinds continue and consumer behaviour evolves, automakers like Hyundai are under pressure to innovate and adapt. The coming months will be critical for the company as it seeks to regain momentum and maintain its position in an increasingly competitive market.
