New Hyundai Venue Achieves 80,000 Bookings In India

Hyundai Motor India has received 80,000 bookings for the new Venue model since its launch. The company confirmed this milestone in its Q3 FY26 results announcement on February 2, 2026.

The latest generation Venue reached the 80,000-booking mark in approximately two to three months from its market introduction in late 2025. In comparison, the original 2019 Venue model achieved 25,000 orders within a month of launch in May 2019. The new Venue has gathered bookings at a rate that is faster than the 2019 version when measured against similar timelines.

The 2019 Venue went on to cross 50,000 bookings within two months of its launch, making it a market success at that time. However, the new Venue has exceeded this figure by 60 per cent, reaching 80,000 bookings in roughly the same or shorter duration. This shows an increase in customer demand and market acceptance compared with the original generation.

Hyundai noted that 48 per cent of the new Venue buyers are first-time car purchasers. This indicates that the model has been able to reach beyond existing Hyundai customers and bring in new buyers to the brand. The achievement demonstrates that the refreshed Venue has resonated with a broader section of the Indian car market.

The new Venue comes with a first generation update in India, offering features that the company has positioned as upgrades from the previous model. The booking response has been a factor in Hyundai's overall sales performance, with wholesale volumes growing 5 per cent in the quarter compared with the previous quarter. The company also noted that the new Venue model has contributed to improving the sales mix towards more profitable segments.

The Venue's response shows the sustained demand for vehicles in this category. The original Venue went on to become one of the company's best-selling models, crossing 6,00,000 units in cumulative sales by January 2026.

The 80,000 bookings for the new Venue have been received till the time of the quarterly results announcement. Hyundai has stated that delivery schedules for the bookings are being managed as per production capacity. The company did not provide a specific timeline for clearing the booking backlog but noted that January 2026 sales performance has been robust.
