Hyundai Venue broke records
The biggest star of the company’s success in April was Hyundai Venue. It posted its best ever monthly performance with domestic sales of 12,420 units. Recently, the confidence of buyers has increased after Venue and Venue N Line received 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating.

The ex-showroom price of Hyundai Venue ranges between ₹8 lakh to ₹15.82 lakh. Its design is premium with a bold grille and connected LED taillamps. Features include 12.3-inch screen, 6 airbags, 360 degree camera, ADAS level 2 and sunroof. It comes in 1.2L petrol, 1.0L turbo and 1.5L diesel engine options. The mileage is 18 to 21 km/litre and it has got a 5-star safety rating in BNCAP.
Impact of product updates
Hyundai believes that product interventions made in various segments made this growth possible. Vehicles like Exeter, Verna, Creta (Summer Edition) and Ioniq 5 performed well. Apart from this, limited editions like Grand i10 Nios Vibe Edition and Venue Night Edition have kept the lineup fresh. The company maintains a strong presence in all major segments of hatchback, sedan, SUV and electric vehicles.
Domestic Focus Strategy
Despite fluctuations in the export market, Hyundai mainly focused on the domestic market in April. Strong demand for the SUV segment in the Indian market and the company’s refreshed product range delivered good results. Experts believe that Hyundai will maintain this momentum in the coming times through new launches and updates. It will also try to keep the export strategy balanced amidst the challenges of the global market.
