Hyundai Motor India eyes cumulative sales of 10 lakh connected cars by 2027

New Delhi, Aug 10 (PTI) Hyundai Motor India Ltd on Monday said it is aiming to have cumulative sales of 10 lakh connected cars — vehicles that have wireless connectivity, including mobile, that allows data transfer for various purposes — by 2027.

The company has over 8 lakh connected cars currently on Indian roads equipped with its proprietary AI-powered connected car technology platform, ‘Hyundai Bluelink’, Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) said in a statement.

“The growing adoption of connected vehicles reflects the evolving expectations of customers and the increasing role of technology in shaping mobility. As we move towards our goal of 1 million connected car sales by 2027, we remain focused on advancing software-defined mobility and expanding

connected technologies across our portfolio,” HMIL MD & CEO Tarun Garg said.

He further said, “Our upcoming mass-market electric SUV, which will offer next-generation connected car technology as standard across all variants, marks an important step in strengthening the convergence of connected and electric mobility while delivering future-ready ownership experiences for customers.” The company had introduced Hyundai Bluelink in 2019, which brought OEM-fitted connected car technology to customers.

Since then, connected vehicle penetration across HMIL’s portfolio has increased five-fold, rising from 4 per cent in 2019 to 20 per cent in 2026, the statement said. PTI RKL TRB
