India’s largest car exporter Hyundai Motor India is developing a model in the 800 cc segment which would be rolled out in the next three to four years. Hyundai Motor India Managing Director Mr. H S Lheem said that the model would be smaller than Santro and compete in the 800 cc segment. This car is being researched and developed jointly by Indian and Korean engineer teams at Hyderabad and Namyang respectively.
This car would be for domestic as well as export markets as it would as per the global standards. Currently only Maruti Suzuki’s 800 is available in 800cc engine but the Hyundai 800cc car will not compete with it as the car would have a new and modern design and differentiation.
