Micro SUVs are going to capture the center stage of the Indian automobile sector soon. With the top brands Hyundai and Tata launching Casper and HBX, the battle is going to be tight. The biggest contender for both of the newbies would be Maruti Ignis, which already has cemented its presence in the market. Ultimately, the customers are the beneficiaries. They can choose the right model that suits their expectations and buy it without paying an exorbitant cost.
Reports indicate that Hyundai will base Casper on the same platform as Hyundai Grand i10, Nios, and Santro. The K1 platform that underpins these successful models from the brand will be used for Hyundai Casper. The length of the car is expected to be 3595 mm, width 1595 mm, and height 1575 mm. That is shorter in dimensions compared to the length, width, and height of Maruti Ignis, which are 3700 mm, 1690 mm, and 1595 mm respectively.
There is going to be a tight fight with Hyundai’s plans to incorporate a long array of features in Casper. All the functionalities and systems included are expected to deliver the car a premium feel and pleasurable driving experience.
The features that would adorn the interior of Hyundai Casper might include:
The engine is the heart of any vehicle. A powerful, as well as, fuel-efficient engine will make the car more desirable.
Predominantly, both cars have similar safety features. Nonetheless, Maruti Ignis has an upper hand as of now with the 3-star Global NCAP rating. The performance of Hyundai Casper hasn’t been checked by Global NCAP yet.
