The company also recently introduced the Creta electric model at the ‘Bharat Mobility Global Expo’, which made it clear that now Hyundai has become very active about the electric and hybrid segment. The upcoming Creta, which is currently codenamed SX3, will be manufactured at the Hyundai plant in Tamil Nadu. It is also believed that some old options may continue in terms of engine and gearbox, but there will be a lot of new design and technology.

New 7-seater SUV: Bigger, more powerful and with hybrid tech

Hyundai is also working on a new 7-seater SUV that will directly compete with vehicles like Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari. This SUV will be bigger than the Alcazar but will be placed slightly below the Tucson so that its price can be kept under Rs 30 lakh. It is currently being codenamed Ni1i and its design is inspired by the long wheelbase Tucson found in China, which is about 4.68 meters in length.

This SUV will be produced at Hyundai’s new plant in Talegaon (Maharashtra). This SUV will also come with strong hybrid technology which will include a 1.5-litre petrol engine, an electric motor and a large battery pack. This setup will not only save fuel but will also give a low maintenance and smooth driving experience.

What new will customers get

The introduction of hybrid systems in both these SUVs will open up a new option for those customers in India who are now looking for more eco-friendly and fuel efficient options apart from petrol and diesel vehicles. Strong hybrid vehicles are gradually becoming popular in the Indian market and Hyundai’s entry can further heat up this segment.
