Hyundai Motor pockets record bookings for upcoming compact SUV Venue

Hyundai Motor India Friday said it has received 2,000 bookings of its upcoming compact SUV Venue on the first day of initiating the process. The company had opened the pre-launch bookings for the model on May 2. "The Day-1 response is a record booking for an SUV, with an average of 84 Venue cars every hour," Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) National Sales Head Vikas Jain said in a statement.

The company is receiving customer enquiries at all its touch points across the country, he added. "Further, the notable traction in online booking is coming from semi-urban areas due to strong telecom infrastructure. This showcases the emergence of a new era of connected-mobility solutions and acceptance of technology in day-to-day life," Jain said. The company is scheduled to launch the model on May 21.
