Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has crossed 800,000 cumulative connected car sales in India and is targeting the milestone of 1 million connected vehicles by 2027, as demand for technology-led mobility continues to grow. The company said connected vehicle penetration across its portfolio has increased five-fold since the introduction of Hyundai Bluelink in 2019, rising from 4% to 20% in 2026. HMIL is also targeting more than 2 million cumulative connected car sales by 2030.
Hyundai introduced Bluelink in India with the launch of the Hyundai VENUE in 2019, making it the country’s first OEM-fitted connected SUV. Since then, the company has expanded connected technology across models including CRETA, VENUE and i20, while adding new software and over-the-air (OTA) capabilities.
Hyundai Bluelink currently offers more than 70 connected features covering safety, security and convenience. These include remote vehicle monitoring, vehicle health diagnostics, location tracking, trip history, remote commands, Hyundai Pay, Digital Key, Digital Passport, Remote Immobilizer and Home-to-Car Connectivity. The platform also supports more than 450 AI-powered voice commands across five languages, allowing customers to access vehicle functions through voice-based controls.
Commenting on the company’s connected mobility strategy, Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO, Hyundai Motor India, said, “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.”
Hyundai said its upcoming mass-market electric SUV will offer next-generation connected car technology as standard across all variants, further integrating connected and electric mobility. HMIL’s connected technology roadmap has progressed through several stages. Following the introduction of Bluelink in 2019, the company introduced OTA map updates with the i20 in 2020 and next-generation Audio Video Navigation Telematics technology in 2022.
In 2025, HMIL introduced its Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) with Controller OTA update capability, marking another step in its Software Defined Vehicle strategy. The technology enables vehicles to receive software improvements and updates over time.
Connected services have also supported customers during emergencies. HMIL said Bluelink has assisted more than 500,000 motorists through SOS and roadside assistance services and supported around 15,000 crash notification interventions. With its growing connected vehicle base, OTA capabilities and focus on software-defined vehicles, HMIL is positioning connected technology as a key part of its future product strategy in India.
