SUVs Are The Big Deal These Days
Hyundai mentioned that they are glad to post healthy double-digit sales growth for the month of May 2023. The top sellers for the brand were Hyundai Creta and Hyundai Venue. In fact, the recently launched all-new Hyundai VERNA too clocked strong numbers. This is not a surprise to see SUVs propelling the maximum sales for Hyundai. Not just Hyundai, but a host of other carmakers as well, SUVs are now selling in huge numbers. Hyundai Creta is the most-sold SUV in the Indian market. The nameplate has been a top choice of customers across 1st-tier, 2nd-tier and 3rd-tier cities alike.
Hyundai’s penetration in the Indian market is a major advantage. And thus, customers residing in remote locations of the country can now enjoy Hyundai’s exciting range of products. With the Exter, Hyundai will aim to take on the micro SUV segment thus further boosting its sales numbers.
