Hyundai Motor India targets 2 million connected car sales by 2030
New Delhi, Aug 10
Hyundai Motor India Limited on Monday announced that it is targeting 2 million cumulative connected car sales by 2030, while it has over 0.8 million connected cars on Indian roads.
By 2027, the automobile company is targeting a goal of 1 million connected car sales.
Strong customer adoption of Hyundai Bluelink, HMIL's AI-powered connected car technology platform will help the company achieve the target, the statement from Hyundai Motor India said.
Building on its strong portfolio, HMIL aims to cross the milestone of 2 million connected car sales in 2030, the statement added.
Bluelink offers more than 70 features across safety, security and convenience including remote vehicle monitoring, vehicle health diagnostics, location tracking, trip history, remote commands, in-car payment powered by Hyundai Pay, Digital Key, Digital Passport, Remote Immobilizer and Home-to-Car Connectivity.
Bluelink also supports over 450 AI-powered voice commands across five languages, the company said.
HMIL said its upcoming mass‑market electric SUV will include next‑generation connected car technology as standard across all variants.
"It marks an important step in strengthening the convergence of connected and electric mobility while delivering future-ready ownership experiences for customers," said Tarun Garg, MD & CEO, HMIL.
"The growing adoption of connected vehicles reflects the evolving expectations of customers and the increasing role of technology in shaping mobility," Garg added.
The Bluelink was launched on the Hyundai VENUE in 2019, and then it added over‑the‑air map updates in 2020 and introduced next‑generation AVNT connected technology in 2022.
It launched the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit with controller OTA update capability in 2025, marking a significant step in HMIL's Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) roadmap for India.
Bluelink has assisted over 0.5 million motorists through SOS and roadside assistance services, supporting around 15,000 crash notification interventions and aiding law-enforcement agencies in vehicle tracing and recovery efforts, the statement noted.

Interesting to see how the Indian market is accelerating towards connected vehicles. The SOS and crash notification features are genuinely useful - especially considering the road conditions in many parts of the country. Good to see Hyundai focusing on safety alongside convenience.
Being a woman who drives alone frequently, the safety features like location tracking and remote immobilizer give me huge peace of mind. My parents can also track my location during night drives which makes them less worried. Hyundai is really understanding the Indian consumer needs. 👌
The data privacy concern needs more discussion though. With so much vehicle data being collected, what prevents misuse? I appreciate the safety features, but we need clearer regulations about who can access this information and how it's stored. Just my two cents.
The Home-to-Car connectivity is a game changer for us! I can switch on the AC at home before leaving, and by the time I reach the parking, it's cool inside. The 450+ voice commands in five languages is thoughtful because not everyone is comfortable with English. This is what makes technology accessible to Bharat, not just India.
Honestly, my experience with Bluelink has been mixed. The features are great on paper, but the subscription renewal cost is quite steep. Also, in areas with poor network connectivity (which is still common in tier-2 cities), most features become useless. Hyundai should work on offline capabilities too.
