Hyundai Casper

Hyundai Casper

The Hyundai Casper is a compact micro-SUV designed for urban mobility. With a quirky design, LED lighting, and a boxy stance, it stands out in the entry-level SUV segment. Internationally, the Casper comes with petrol and turbo-petrol engine options. These offer a good blend of performance and mileage. While we are yet to hear an official word on the  Hyundai Casper launch date for India, it could come to us as soon as the year-end. 

In India, it will compete primarily with entry-level SUVs like the Tata Punch and Maruti Suzuki Fronx. Hyundai will likely price it competitively. Its compact dimensions and high ground clearance could make it a great choice for Indian roads. 

Hyundai Casper Price in India

The Hyundai Casper price in India is expected to range between ₹6 lakh to ₹11.5 lakh (ex-showroom). This micro-SUV, if launched, will be positioned as an affordable urban crossover with a stylish design and modern features. The expected price will place it against rivals like the Tata Punch.

The on-road price of the Hyundai Casper will vary depending on state taxes, insurance, and RTO charges. If Hyundai introduces it in India, it may come with multiple variants, including petrol and turbo-petrol engine options. It will even get multiple transmission options. With competitive pricing, it could become a popular choice for city-friendly micro-SUVs.

Hyundai Casper Specifications

The Hyundai Casper specs reveal a good blend of performance and mileage for urban mobility. In India, it is expected to feature petrol engines in naturally aspirated as well as turbocharged avatars. The Hyundai Casper mileage could range around 18-22 km/l. In terms of size, the Casper is a small car that measures under 4 meters in length. For India, the Hyundai Casper ground clearance is anticipated to be around 180mm. This should ensure ease over speed bumps and pothole-ridden roads. 

With a modern interior, connected car technology, and segment-best safety features, the Casper could be a good option for budget SUV buyers. If launched in India, it may get a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine with manual and AMT gearbox options. Another engine option could come in the form of a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol mill with DCT. 

Hyundai Casper Rivals

Once launched, the Hyundai Casper rivals will include small SUVs and hatchbacks like the Tata Punch, Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Maruti Suzuki Fronx and Citroen C3. Additionally, it will even rival the lower variants of the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger. Its compact size and competitive pricing and feature-rich cabin could make the Casper a decent VFM option in the micro-SUV segment.
