The Hyundai Aura compact sedan has emerged as a powerhouse for the automaker, leading its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle sales in the first quarter of this financial year.
Hyundai Aura Leads the CNG Charge
Hyundai recently revealed that the Aura CNG variants are responsible for a remarkable 89 percent of the company’s total CNG vehicle sales volume. This performance highlights the Aura’s significant role in Hyundai’s cleaner fuel strategy.
A key factor in the Aura’s success, particularly in the fleet market, has been the introduction of the HY-CNG dual-cylinder model. Launched in September of last year, this innovation likely made the Aura an even more attractive option for commercial use due to its enhanced range and practicality.
Hyundai’s Growing CNG Footprint
The success of models like the Aura is contributing to a broader shift within Hyundai’s sales mix. The automaker reported that CNG vehicles made up 46 percent of its total volumes in the first quarter of the current financial year.
This marks a significant jump compared to the same period last year, when CNG vehicles accounted for 33 percent of sales. Furthermore, the contribution of CNG cars to Hyundai’s overall volumes grew by an additional 3 percent when compared to the last quarter of the previous financial year (FY25).
Beyond CNG: Hyundai’s Overall Sales Picture
While the Aura is a standout in the CNG segment, it’s important to look at the bigger picture of Hyundai’s sales. Despite the Aura’s strong performance, sedans, including the Aura, only contribute to 13 percent of Hyundai’s total vehicle volumes.
The leading segment for the South Korean automaker remains its Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) range. SUVs were the primary drivers of sales in the first quarter, accounting for a substantial 69 percent of Hyundai’s total volumes.
- The Hyundai Aura CNG variants contribute 89% to Hyundai’s total CNG sales.
- CNG vehicles now make up 46% of Hyundai’s total sales volume in Q1 FY26, up from 33% last year.
- The HY-CNG dual-cylinder model has boosted Aura’s popularity, especially in the fleet market.
- SUVs remain Hyundai’s dominant segment, accounting for 69% of overall sales.
This trend suggests a strategic push towards a diversified powertrain portfolio, balancing the growing demand for fuel-efficient CNG options with the strong consumer preference for SUVs.
