Hyundai races ahead with 69,894 sales in October
MUMBAI: Hyundai Motor India hit the accelerator on festive momentum this October, clocking total sales of 69,894 units, driven by buoyant consumer sentiment and a strong SUV line-up.
The month saw domestic sales of 53,792 units and exports of 16,102 units, marking an 11 per cent year-on-year growth in overseas markets. Leading the charge were Hyundai’s power-packed SUV duo, Creta and Venue, which together notched their second-highest ever monthly sales at 30,119 units.
“October was a month of festivals and fervour, boosted further by the positive impact of GST 2.0 reforms,” said Hyundai Motor India whole-time director and COO Tarun Garg. “Strong market demand and high consumer enthusiasm powered our SUV sales, and we expect this momentum to continue with the upcoming launch of the all-new Hyundai Venue.”
With refreshed design, premium features and advanced technology, the upcoming Venue aims to steer Hyundai’s growth to the next gear, keeping the brand firmly in the fast lane of India’s SUV story.
