Hyundai launched the Prime HB and Prime SD taxi models in December 2025. The Prime HB and Prime SD are based on the Grand i10 Nios and Aura, respectively. Following their introduction, both models have recorded a noticeable increase in sales.

Hyundai are currently including the Prime taxi sales in the overall monthly sales figures of the Grand i10 Nios and Aura, which has contributed to a strong jump in their January 2026 sales figures. Let’s take a closer look at the data.

January 2025 Vs January 2026 – YoY Comparison

Both models witnessed significant year-on-year growth in January 2026 compared to January 2025:

HYUNDAI GRAND i10 NIOS & AURA YoY SALES COMPARISON (JAN 2026)
Model	Jan 2025	Jan 2026	YoY Change	YoY Gain
Grand i10 Nios	5,311	7,710	2,399	45.2%
Aura	5,388	7,978	2,590	48.1%

The Grand i10 Nios registered a 45.2% YoY growth.
The Aura posted an even higher 48.1% YoY growth.

Such a sharp jump, especially in the B-segment, indicates the strong contribution from the newly-launched, fleet-oriented Prime versions in the sales figures of the Grand i10 Nios and Aura.

To better understand the sales spike, here’s a look at the last 6 months leading up to January 2026.

Hyundai Aura & Grand i10 Nios — MoM Growth (Dec 2025 vs Jan 2026)

The real spike becomes clearer when we compare December 2025 to January 2026.

HYUNDAI GRAND I10 NIOS & AURA MoM SALES COMPARISON (JAN 2026)
Model	Dec 2025	Jan 2026	MoM Change	% MoM Growth
Grand i10 Nios	4,010	7,710	3,700	92.3%
Aura	4,925	7,978	3,053	62%

The Grand i10 Nios nearly doubled its sales month-on-month
The Aura saw a 62% MoM jump, a substantial jump for a B-segment sedan

Such a sharp rise in sales of the Grand i10 Nios and Aura suggests that the newly launched Prime HB and Prime SD taxi variants are driving additional volumes. Fleet vehicles typically generate steady demand in their respective segments as operating cost, reliability and strong aftersales network are key considerations for fleet operators. We expect the momentum to continue and see the Prime HB and Prime SD challenge Maruti Suzuki’s dominance among taxi buyers.
