Automobile maker Hyundai Motor India  said it has received 2,000 bookings of its upcoming compact SUV Venue on the first day of initiating the process. The automaker had opened the pre-launch bookings for the model on May 2.

Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) National Sales Head Vikas Jain said in a statement, "The Day-1 response is a record booking for an SUV, with an average of 84 Venue cars every hour." 

He further added, "The company is receiving customer enquiries at all its touch points across the country."

Talking about online booking, Jain said, "Further, the notable traction in online booking is coming from semi-urban areas due to strong telecom infrastructure. This showcases emergence of new era of connected-mobility solutions and acceptance of technology in day-to-day life," 

The company is scheduled to launch the model on May 21.
