Hyundai, the second largest car manufacturer in India after Maruti Suzuki, is engaged in updating its cars. Cars like Hyundai Verna Facelift, Hyundai Kona Facelift and Hyundai Creta Facelift will be part of this update. These cars are expected to be launched at the beginning of the new year.
Hyundai Verna
Hyundai India is almost close to launching the Hyundai Verna facelift, the updated version of its luxurious sedan Verna Car. It can launch this car at the beginning of the new year.
Features like Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS), Cruise Control, Digital Instrumental Cluster, and Powerful Hybrid Powertrain can be seen in the updated version of this car. At the same time, you can also get the dimensions of this car increased. Its initial price can be around 15 lakh rupees.
Hyundai Creta Facelift
Creta is the most sought-after SUV from Hyundai. That’s why the company will launch this car at the beginning of 2023.
The company has built this SUV car based on the ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design language. At the rear, the car gets boomerang-shaped LED taillights and a roof-mounted spoiler. The new Hyundai Creta facelift will be slightly costlier than the current model. Its price will start from Rs 10.16 lakh (ex-showroom).
Hyundai grand I10 Noise Facelift
The Grand i10 Nios, Hyundai’s entry-level hatchback, will get a mid-life makeover soon. The new i20 Nios makeover has already been observed undergoing testing on Indian roads. The new model will have some exterior and interior improvements. The new model will have an updated front fascia with a new grille, relocated headlamps, updated alloy wheels, and updated LED taillights. The Grand i10 Nios makeover is anticipated to include an updated, more extensive infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay and a new instrument console. It is anticipated that a 1.2L naturally-aspirated petrol engine and a CNG option will both be available for the 2017 Grand i10 facelift. Both a manual and an AMT transmission will be offered for the hatchback.
Hyundai Micro Suv
A new entry-level SUV developed by Hyundai under the codename Ai3 CUV will compete with vehicles like the Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and others. Before Diwali, in the holiday season of 2023, it is anticipated to be released. In January of 2023, we anticipate the new small SUV to make its world debut. Based on the Grand i10 Nios platform, which also supports the Casper CUV now on the Korean market, the new entry-level SUV will be available. It will be placed between the Nios and the Venue and larger than the Casper. To make room for a new small SUV, Hyundai might drop some of the top and base models of the Grand i10, Nios, and Venue.
The inside of the new vehicle will probably be similar to that of the Grand i10 Nios. A reverse camera, power windows, auto air conditioning, powered ORVMs, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are all anticipated. It is likely propelled by a 1.2L gasoline engine with 82 horsepower and 114 Nm of torque. A 5-speed manual and an AMT are options for transmission. The small SUV might also be offered with a CNG option.
Hyundai Ioniq 5
Early next year, Hyundai will introduce its hugely popular Ioniq 5 EV in our market. It will be sold as a CBU and is anticipated to cost between Rs 45 lakh and Rs 60 lakh. Electric Global Modular Platform, or E-GMP, is the brand’s EV-specific design and development platform for the new Ioniq 5. It has two battery capacities, 72.6kWh and 58kWh, with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations.
Range estimates for the 72.6kWh battery version range from 470 to 480 kilometres. The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes using a 220kW DC charging system, which is compatible with it. It has an AWD system with dual motors that produces a combined 306bhp and 605Nm of torque. The Ioniq 5 is advertised as having a 0-100kmph acceleration time of under 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 185kmph. The crossover’s rear wheels receive power from a 169bhp single motor housed in a 58kWh battery. This variation states that it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds.
Hyundai I20 Facelift
The updated Hyundai i20 is also being tested abroad. In the latter half of 2020, Hyundai unveiled the third-generation i20, which featured significant design and function upgrades. A revamped front grille with new inlays and a slightly modified bumper are anticipated to be included in the visual modifications for the 2019 model. The boot lid and bumper may also get a small facelift, and the rear profile may get taillamps that resemble those on the Venue joined by LED strips.
The cabin’s instrument console and touchscreen infotainment system are likely to change. The 1.2L NA and 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo engines will still be available for the new model. Due to tighter Real-Driving emission standards, Hyundai will stop selling the i20 diesel in our country. The new Hyundai i20 facelift is anticipated to hit the roads sometime in 2023–2024, yet there is no information on when it will premiere in India.
