Jakarta –
Hyundai is said to be preparing a new small SUV named Hyundai Ai3. In fact, the unit was caught being tested on a highway. Then, what are the advantages offered?
Quoted from Autocar, Friday (24/3), the appearance of the Hyundai Ai3 has been widely reported since the last one or two months. The mini-dimensional vehicle is likely to slide first in India this year.
The Hyundai Ai3 is built on the K1 platform like the Hyundai Casper in South Korea. If you look at the dimensions and design, this car will certainly compete with Tata Punch and Renault Kiger to win the hearts of entry-level consumers.
Even though when tested the body was wrapped in camouflage stickers, but there are a number of details that can be recognized from the Hyundai Ai3. For example, the body angles are made a bit boxy, the headlamp is designed separately, and the grille looks quite minimalist.
Meanwhile, for the mechanical heart, the Hyundai Ai3 will likely still use the same engine as the Venue or Grand i10, which has a capacity of 1,200cc with 83 PS of power and 113.8 Nm of peak torque.
This provision is channeled to the wheels via a five-speed automatic and manual transmission.
Until now, there has been no official information regarding the features embedded in the vehicle. However, a number of sources said, the manufacturer provided it with current general technology.
For example, such as a semi-digital instrument cluster, steering wheel with mounted controls, cruise control, type-C charging socket, TPMS, ESC, HSA and six airbags installed at several points.
The Hyundai Ai3 is slated to launch in India in September-October 2023. While production started two months earlier. Although it has not been officially announced, the vehicle will reportedly be sold starting at 600 thousand rupees or approximately Rp. 110 million.
