Hyundai Cars To Be Available On Subscription with Revv

• To be available in six cities initially from Q1 2019.
• To offer long term and short term subscriptions with swap facility. 
• Facilities include on-demand delivery, zero down payment.
• To also offer no insurance/maintenance cost for short term subscription.

Hyundai cars will now be available on subscription across six cities in India, under the Korean carmaker’s new partnership with shared mobility company Revv. Under this new model, customers can subscribe to Hyundai cars in cities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

The subscription-based model not only gives customers an opportunity to experience Hyundai’s models with hassle-free ownership, flexibility and limited commitment, it also allows them facilities to swap and choose between long term and short term plans.

Commencing the pilot run in the first quarter of 2019, the carmaker assures subscribers other facilities such as zero down payment, on-demand delivery and no insurance and maintenance costs for short term subscription plans. Hyundai also assures that customers opting for subscriptions of over a year will get a brand new vehicle.

The carmaker already has a fledgling subscription-based ownership model in various countries. Now with traditional mobility being disrupted by ride-sharing companies here as well, it seems like the right time for the carmaker to have such a model available in India. The carmaker offers 10 models in India and prices start at Rs 3.35 lakh for the cheapest car Eon and go up to Rs 26.95 lakh (both ex-showroom, Delhi) for the top model Tucson.
Apart from Hyundai, other manufacturers such as Mahindra, Toyota and Skoda have also announced their own plans for a subscription-based ownership model in the country.
