The latest development indicates that most customers booking the Venue now will be basically backordering, as Hyundai has capped the monthly production at 9,000 units. The company had accepted pre-orders from the 2nd till the 20th of this month. With the prices announced and being so attractive, the demand will likely go up notably.

The Hyundai Venue is the production version of the Hyundai HND-14 ‘Carlino’ concept from Auto Expo 2016. It took a period of four years and investment of $100 million to develop this model. It will be sold in developed markets like the USA, Canada and Australia as well.

The Hyundai Venue’s main highlight is the Blue Link connectivity suite comprising 33 connected vehicle features, of which 10 are India-specific. Remote engine start/stop, remote climate control with engine start, real-time vehicle tracking, geo-fence alert, auto crash notification and assistance, panic notification and stolen vehicle tracking are some the main features included in Blue Link.
