Great to see Hyundai performing well despite plant maintenance! The Creta is truly the king of Indian roads 🚗. Hope they bring more electric options soon to compete with Tata and Mahindra.

These numbers are impressive! But I wish Hyundai would focus more on improving after-sales service. My Verna has been at the service center for 2 weeks waiting for a spare part. Customer care could be better.

The Creta is everywhere! No wonder it's 30% of midsize SUV sales. But Hyundai should reduce prices - the new models are getting too expensive for middle-class families like ours.

₹691,929 Mn revenue! Hyundai is printing money in India. Good for our economy and job creation. But they should invest more in R&D here rather than just assembly.

Waiting for my new i20 delivery since 3 weeks due to this maintenance shutdown. The dealer didn't inform about this delay earlier 😤. Otherwise happy with Hyundai's quality though!
