Hyundai Motor India has increased prices of its select models, which get effective from January 2022. While the company’s top-selling Creta SUV gets expensive by up to Rs 7,000, the new 6/7-seater SUV – Alcazar – witnessed a maximum price hike of up to Rs 22,000. Prices of the Hyundai Venue and Hyundai i20 and i20 N-Line have been increased by up to Rs 4,100 and Rs 6,800 respectively.
Buyers have to pay more for Hyundai Aura and Venue sedans as well. While the former gets expensive by Rs 7,300, the latter one witnessed a price increase of Rs 4,000. In the hatchback segment, the Santro and Grand i10 Nios received a price hike of up to Rs 10,000 – 17,400 and Rs 7,300 respectively. One must note that the Hyundai Kona EV, Elantra sedan and Tucson SUV will continue to be available in the same price range as before.
Talking about Hyundai’s future plan, the South Korean automaker is ready to give a mid-life update to its three popular models – Creta, Venue and Kona EV. All updated models are slated to launch this year. Besides this, the company aims to foray into the compact MPV and mini SUV segments in coming years. If reports are to be believed, Hyundai might bring in the Stargazer three-row MPV in India sometime in 2022. Here, the model will be positioned against the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
The company is working on a new entry-level sub-4 meter SUV that will challenge the Maruti Suzuki Ignis and the newly-launched Tata Punch in India. Internally known as Hyundai Ai3, the model is reported to hit showrooms in 2023. Hyundai’s upcoming mini SUV might underpin the modified version of the Casper’s platform. It will be the smallest and most affordable Hyundai SUV in the country.
More details on the upcoming Hyundai cars are likely to be revealed in near future. Stay tuned to IndiaCarNews.
