The second-largest carmaker in the country posted 60,249 unit sales last month as against 41,300 units during the same period in June 2020 with a Year-on-Year sales surge of 45.9 per cent.

This when compared to the same period last year with 3,100 units, HMIL registered a massive growth of 293.8 per cent. Speaking on the July 2021 sales performance, Tarun Garg, Director (Sales, Marketing & Service), Hyundai Motor India Ltd. said,
“Hyundai registered domestic sales of 48 042 units in July backed by strong performance of our newly launched 6- and 7-seater SUV, “The Hyundai ALCAZAR” and our other segment defining products like CRETA, i20 and VENUE. A positive growth momentum is clearly visible in the Passenger Vehicle Industry with the stabilization of macro-economic factors, good monsoons and increase in consumer shift towards personal mobility.”
The South Korean auto major stated that the recently launched Alcazar has played a strong role in gaining volume alongside the regular top-sellers such as i20, Venue and Creta. The Creta mid-size SUV has long been the leader in its segment while the i20 and Grand i10 Nios have consistently driven volume sales for the brand in the sub-10 lakh space.
The Venue compact SUV takes advantage of its wide range as it is retailed in three engine options and multiple transmission choices and is one of the top-sellers in the sub-four-metre SUV class. The Alcazar is a three-row iteration of the Creta with an impressive list of standard features and is priced between Rs. 16.30 lakh and Rs. 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
It derives power from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol producing 159 PS and 191 Nm and a 1.5-litre four-pot diesel delivering 115 PS and 250 Nm. As standard, six-speed manual and optional automatic transmissions are available.
