Hyundai bagged over 10,000 pre-bookings in just a week since its introduction and the brand also announced the 14,000 pre-booking milestone well before its launch. The 2nd generation Hyundai Creta SUV has been launched only a couple of months ago at the starting price of INR 9.99 lakh in the Indian market now according to a media report, the brand has confirmed that the new Hyundai Creta has received almost 20,000 bookings, so far.
The brand recently launched the ‘Click to Buy’ contactless online sales platform integrating 500 Hyundai dealerships across the country and includes the new Creta along with the new Hyundai Verna and 8 other cars from the brand’s portfolio. The platform is targeted towards the tech-savvy and new-age customers who would like to configure their car on a digital platform and the cars can be opted to be picked up from Hyundai dealerships at a pre-decided time or delivered at the doorstep in a contactless manner, after the end of lockdown phase.
The report also suggests that the deliveries for the cars will not be affected due to the COVID-19 crisis and the brand which has already dispatched more than 6500 cars to dealerships and is likely to dispatch more than 10,000 unit per month to cater to market demand, but deliveries to its customers are likely to begin only after the lockdown is lifted.
