Get Ready India, Hyundai’s Smallest SUV ‘Ai3’ is Here and It’s a Game Changer!”
Hyundai Motor India Limited’s upcoming SUV, the Ai3, will be the smallest SUV made by the company and is expected to have an angular design with full-width lightbars at the front and back.
The Ai3 SUV will use the same 1.2-liter, naturally-aspirated petrol engine as the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and will be produced at the HMIL factory in Chennai, with sales expected to start around the upcoming holiday season.
The first teaser photographs of Hyundai Motor India Limited’s (HMIL) forthcoming SUV were recently made public. This new SUV, which has the working name Ai3, will be the smallest SUV made by Hyundai.
The Hyundai Casper SUV marketed in South Korea will not look anything like the future Hyundai Ai3 SUV. In truth, the Hyundai Ai3 SUV’s design is expected to be angular and include full-width lightbars at the front and back.
The Hyundai K1 compact car platform serves as the foundation for the forthcoming Ai3 SUV. The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios hatchback is built on the same chassis. As a result, it is anticipated that the next Hyundai Ai3 SUV will be about the same size as the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios hatchback.

The Hyundai Ai3 SUV will face competition in India from vehicles like the Tata Punch and Citroen C3 when it is introduced. Additionally, the model’s performance will give the South Korean automaker a significant advantage over Tata Motors in terms of total sales.
Hyundai India will be able to raise sales overall and draw more clients to its stores with the introduction of the Hyundai Ai3 SUV. Additionally, the Ai3 SUV’s popularity will aid the South Korean automaker in fending against Tata Motors.
