Hyundai Dealers Register 170 Units Of Sales In First 2 Days Since Restart Of Operations: Receives 4000 Enquiries & 500 Vehicle Bookings

Hyundai announced that as part of their restart operations, the company has reopened 255 dealerships and workshops across the country. Also, the company announced that since the restart, Hyundai has already registered 170 units of sales since the 6th of May 2020.

The company announced that over the past two days, the 255 Hyundai dealers across India have received over 4000 customer enquiries and around 500 bookings. With production operations just having begun, it is likely that these 170 retailed units are using the stocks from before the lockdown period.

Along with the start of dealership operations, Hyundai has also issued a new set of guidelines for its sales and service outlets across India. These new guidelines ensure all safety and social distancing norms are being followed by all staff members in accordance with the state and central government's regulations.

Just before the lockdown began in India on the 24th of March 2020, Hyundai launched the all-new Creta SUV in the country. The 2020 Hyundai Creta received an overwhelming response instantly, with the company registering over 20,000 bookings for the SUV.

Also, during the lockdown period, Hyundai has been able to silently introduce a number of BS6-compliant models in the market, discontinuing the old BS4 units. While bookings for these were available online, deliveries are said to start very soon.

The most recent BS6 update from Hyundai was for its Grand i10 NIOS diesel model. The new BS6-compliant Hyundai i10 Grand NIOS diesel is now offered with a starting price of 6.75 lakh, ex-showroom (Delhi) — here are the details.
