It seems that the Hyundai Venue is fighting this bizarre automotive slow down rather well. Just two months into the launch, the car has already received more than 50,000 bookings.

Interestingly, Hyundai says that more than 55 percent of the cars delivered are of the Blue Link Enabled variants. And 35 percent of the 50,000 bookings have been in favour of the 7-speed DCT trim.

Speaking of which, Hyundai brought in the Venue with three engine options – a 1.0-litre 118bhp petrol turbo, a 1.2-litre 82bhp petrol and a 1.4-litre 89bhp diesel same as the i20 Active and the Creta. The 1.0-litre petrol comes paired with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT. The 1.2 petrol comes mated to a 5-speed manual and the 1.4 diesel gets a 6-speed manual.
