The latest shots reveal that the India-specific Ai3 SUV will differ substantially from the Hyundai Casper SUV that is sold abroad
Hyundai Ai3's will follow the brand's latest design language for SUVs and will have a unique door design body panel
The front of the Hyundai Ai3 is expected to feature a split-headlamp setup with LED daytime running lamps at the top and a squarish headlamp below it
The daytime running lamps are expected to feature an 'H' pattern. The sides feature front fenders, which gives Hyundai Ai3 a tall SUV look
The Ai3 from Hyundai will use the same platform that underpins the recently updated Grand i10 Nios and the Aura compact sedan duo
Hyundai will position the new Ai3 SUV in India between the Grand i10 and the Venue SUV
As far as powertrain options are concerned, the Ai3 micro SUV is likely to share the same 1.2-litre petrol engine as the Venue, Grand i10 and Aura
The decision on a CNG variant of the Hyundai Ai3 is expected to be taken later. However, there won't be any diesel engine option
The Hyundai Ai3 is expected to go on sale this festive season, most likely around October 2023
Hyundai Ai3 is expected to be launched at a price well under Rs 10 lakh
