\"HMILHMIL introduced its Bluelink connected car technology in 2019 with the Hyundai Venue, which the company describes as Indias first OEM-fitted connected SUV.Hyundai Motor India<\/a> Limited (HMIL) is targeting cumulative sales of 1 million connected cars<\/a> by 2027, as the automaker accelerates its Software Defined Vehicle<\/a> (SDV) strategy and expands connected technology<\/a> across its portfolio.<\/p>\n

The company currently has more than 0.8 million connected cars on Indian roads. Connected vehicle penetration across HMIL’s portfolio has increased five-fold from 4 per cent in 2019 to 20 per cent in 2026, reflecting rising customer adoption of connected technologies.<\/p>\n

HMIL said it is targeting 2 million cumulative connected car sales by 2030, building on its connected mobility<\/a> ecosystem powered by 1.2 million lines of code.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe growing adoption of connected vehicles reflects the evolving expectations of customers and the increasing role of technology in shaping mobility,\u201d said Tarun Garg, MD & CEO, HMIL.<\/p>\n

Towards software-defined vehicles<\/p>\n

HMIL introduced its Bluelink connected car technology in 2019 with the Hyundai Venue, which the company describes as India’s first OEM-fitted connected SUV.<\/p>\n

Since then, Hyundai has progressively expanded its connected technology capabilities. In 2020, it introduced OTA map updates with the i20, followed by next-generation AVNT connected technology in 2022.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the company introduced its Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) with Controller OTA update capability, marking a further step in its SDV roadmap.<\/p>\n

The technology allows vehicles to receive software enhancements over the air, enabling them to remain updated with new features and functionality over time.<\/p>\n

HMIL said models such as the Creta, Venue and i20 have been key to customer adoption of its connected technologies.<\/p>\n

Hyundai Bluelink offers customers more than 70 features across safety, security and convenience.<\/p>\n

These include remote vehicle monitoring, vehicle health diagnostics, location tracking, trip history, remote commands, in-car payments through Hyundai Pay, Digital Key, Digital Passport, Remote Immobiliser and Home-to-Car Connectivity.<\/p>\n

The system also supports more than 450 AI-powered voice commands across five languages.<\/p>\n

The automaker said its connected technology is also increasingly being used for safety and emergency assistance.<\/p>\n

Bluelink has assisted more than 0.5 million motorists through SOS and roadside assistance services and supported around 15,000 crash notification interventions. The technology has also assisted law-enforcement agencies in vehicle tracing and recovery.<\/p>\n

Features such as Driving Score and Digital Passport are aimed at helping customers adopt safer driving practices and more proactive vehicle maintenance through personalised insights.<\/p>\n

Deeper integration ahead<\/p>\n

HMIL said its next phase of connected mobility will focus on deeper integration of software, connectivity and electrification.<\/p>\n

The company’s upcoming mass-market electric SUV will offer next-generation connected car technology as standard across all variants, according to Garg.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis marks an important step in strengthening the convergence of connected and electric mobility while delivering future-ready ownership experiences for customers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With connected vehicle penetration currently at 20 per cent, HMIL is seeking to significantly expand adoption over the next few years as it moves towards its 1 million connected-car sales target in 2027 and 2 million by 2030.\n <\/p>\n
