Hyundai Venue Demand Off The Charts — 50,000 Bookings & 18,000 Deliveries Since Launch

Now, Hyundai has announced that the Venue has registered over 50,000 units of bookings in the first 60 days since launch. This is said to be the fastest-ever 50,000 bookings for any car in the country. Also, Hyundai announced that they have already delivered over 18,000 units of the Venue, with 55 per cent of them being ‘Blue Link' enabled.

The Hyundai Venue is positioned between the Elite i20 and the Creta in the brand's India lineup. It has gained a lot of popularity since its launch in the country, even threatening to overthrow the segment-leader, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza in terms of monthly sales.

The Hyundai Venue already overtook the sales of its elder sibling, the Hyundai Creta within the first month of its launch. The compact-SUV is now the second best-selling car from the brand after the Elite i20 premium hatchback.

Vikas Jain, National Sales Head, Hyundai Motor India Ltd. stated:

"The Hyundai Venue has been able to strike a chord with the iGen customers who seek future technology, Space, Comfort, Safety and Ergonomics with new-age style. We are extremely overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response and milestone created by VENUE with 50,000 bookings within sixty days of launch."

"We are glad that Indian customers have shown their faith in the Blue Link Connected Technology as out of the total Venue delivered so far, over 55% of the cars are Blue Link Enabled Variant. Out of the 50,000 bookings, over 35% of customers have preferred the Hyundai's in house Best in Segment -DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) Technology."
