Hyundai to Launch New Mid-Size SUV and Localised Compact Electric SUV in India

Hyundai plans to launch two new SUVs in India later this year: a mid-size SUV based on the Bayon crossover platform and a localised compact electric SUV built on the E-GMP platform. The mid-size model aims to strengthen Hyundai's position alongside the Creta, potentially featuring petrol, hybrid, and CNG options. The compact electric SUV will be manufactured locally in Chennai, targeting rivals like Tata's Nexon EV, with high localisation expected to support domestic sales and exports.
