The sales chart of Hyundai cars are rising and we wait for the Elantra facelift to see if the sedan proves out to be a success like the Kona, Venue and Grand i10 Nios.
With the auto industry going down and car manufacturer facing losses, Hyundai shines bright with its new products. Hyundai first launched the first electric SUV Kona than the subcompact SUV, Venue and then the premium hatchback, Grand i10 Nios. Now, recent reports have come that Hyundai Grand i10 has beaten the Venue sales for August 2019.
Hyundai hasn’t really broken down the sales of Grand i10 and Nios differently but combined both the units sold 9,043 units beating the Venue which only sold 9,342 units in August.
Hyundai Grand i10 Nios was launched on Aug 20 and the hatchback offers the same set of engines available in the Grand i10. Also, the latter now only comes with a petrol engine and a CNG option. What’s new is the replacement of torque converter automatic transmission with AMT gearbox in the petrol engine. Also, the diesel engine sees an AMT gearbox which was not found earlier.
