Venue profile

Puneet Anand, Senior General Manager and Group Head-Marketing, Hyundai Motor India, said, "We are definitely looking at a volume of around eight to nine thousand a month for the Venue, to start off with. I am sure this will be received very well and will redefine the way people have been looking at the sub-4 meter segment. As more consumers want more, we will definitely augment, our production will ramp up." The statement came during the official unveiling aboard a cruise-liner making her way from Mumbai to Goa.

The South Korean based auto giant has been keeping the Venue in the limelight with a set of teaser videos for a while now. The videos show the Venue going through multi-locations tests across India. Last week, Hyundai released official images of the SUV on a billboard at Times Square. Sometime before that, Hyundai released official sketches of the Venue giving us a peak of the interiors of the vehicle.

"We are offering the first connected SUV to a young audience, 25-30 years of age, who don't treat car just as mobility, they treat car as their third space. Outside of workplaces and homes, I think a car is the place where they party together, enjoy together, connect together, connect with their family, share feelings and thoughts.", Anand added when asked about the Bluelink technology in the Hyundai Venue.

The Hyundai Venue is scheduled for a launch on 21 May 2019. While we have no confirmation about the price of the Venue, we expect it to be priced between Rs 8 lakh and Rs 12 lakh.

Thoughts On The Production Capacity For The Hyundai Venue

This may be one of the few times that an auto manufacturer may be able to pull off supply for demand. There is usually a waiting period before a customer get a car. If Hyundai can achieve a situation where the demand is met with the same quantity of supply within a very short period of time, the Venue might just become the highest selling Hyundai of all time.
