Ai3 model to start production in July
Hyundai has launched an advertising campaign for the new compact crossover Hyundai Ai3, which, according to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, will be the cheapest in the manufacturer’s lineup.
The teaser images show groups of animals and birds in the car’s rearview mirror.
The Ai3 subcompact crossover is expected to be powered by the same 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine as the Venue, Grand i10 Nios and Aura. Buyers will not be offered a diesel version, which means it will be the only Hyundai crossover sold in India that is only available with a petrol engine. The car will be equipped with a manual transmission or a robotic gearbox.
Announced the cheapest crossover Hyundai
The car will be based on the K1 platform, which is also used for the Grand i10 Nios, Picanto and Casper. The length of the car will be only about 3.8 meters. The crossover will receive separate headlights and daytime running lights with a pattern in the form of the letter H.
Serial production of the Ai3 will begin at Hyundai’s Chennai plant in July, with market launch expected in late August.
