The South Korean carmaker is all set to foray into the mini SUV segment with the Hyundai AX1 (codename). Its production-ready model will make its world debut in coming months. Early last month, the carmaker released a teaser image showing its headlamp and taillamp design. Now, the spy pictures of its close-to-production version emerge on the web. The new Hyundai mini SUV will carry the brand’s signature SUV design language along with the upright and boxy body built. Check Out – 2022 Hyundai Creta Facelift 1st Spy Images
The front fascia will be adorned by circular projector headlamps with split setup and LED DRLs integrated on the lower part of the bumper. While the LED taillamps will have a triangular pattern, the turn indicators will be designed as a single round lamp. The tailgate will feature bold creases as we have seen in the Venue.
Some of its other key elements will include the signature cascading front grille with mesh pattern, a flat bonnet, multi-spoke alloy wheels, pronounced squared-off wheel arches, black plastic cladding around the body, roof rails and short overhangs. In terms of dimensions, the upcoming Hyundai AX1 will be significantly shorter than the Venue. The overall length of the new mini SUV is likely to be around 3.7 meters, while the Venue is 3995mm long. It might share its platform with the Santro and Grand i10 Nios hatchbacks.

Interior details of the Hyundai AX1 mini SUV are yet to be revealed. Though, it’s likely to be packed with goodies such as a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, wireless charging, power folding mirrors, keyless entry and go, a rear view camera and more.
The new Hyundai mini SUV is likely to be offered with the 1.2L, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that does duty in the Grand i10 Nios. The motor pushes out a peak power of 83bhp and 114Nm of torque. The lower variants of the micro SUV might get a 1.1L, 3-cylinder petrol unit sourced from the Santro.
