Styx to all-new Grand i10: 5 new Hyundai cars & SUVs launching in India in 2019

Hyundai is India’s second largest car manufacturer and has a range of products in the market. Hyundai is planning to launch a slew of new cars and five new cars are expected to be launched next year. This year Hyundai launched the all-new Santro, facelifted Creta and the Elite i20. Next year, Hyundai will launch five new cars and here are all the cars that will be launched in 2019.

Hyundai Styx

Expected launch: Early 2019

 

Hyundai Styx will be the brand’s first-ever sub-4-meter SUV in the world. With the rising popularity of vehicles like Tata Nexon, Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport, Hyundai will also get on the bandwagon. The Styx will be the production version of the Carlino concept and is internally named as QXi. The all-new car will be powered by a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that generates a maximum of 110 Bhp and a peak torque of 170 Nm. The diesel engine can be the same as the 1.4-litre turbocharged.

Hyundai Kona EV

Expected launch: Mid 2019

Hyundai will launch their first-ever electric vehicle in India in the form of Kona Electric Vehicle. It would be launched only in the electric version in India even though it is available in many other powertrain versions in the foreign markets.

It is not confirmed but Hyundai may assemble the vehicle in India if it becomes popular in the market initially. The Indian assembly would help it to keep the prices competitive. The Hyundai Kona EV would get a 64 kWh battery that will propel the SUV to up to 480 km on a single charge.

Hyundai all-new Grand i10

Expected launch: End 2019

Hyundai has started testing the all-new Grand i10 in the Indian market and the vehicle has been caught testing quite a few times under heavy camouflage. The all-new Grand i10 would look quite similar to all-new Santro. The exterior would become much sharper. The interiors would be revamped completely too. It would get a floating-type infotainment screen, multifunction steering wheel and better body rigidity to meet the upcoming safety standard.

Hyundai all-new Xcent

Expected launch: End 2019

The Xcent, which is based on the Grand i10 would also get a new face next year. Hyundai may be developed the Xcent separately to ensure that it doesn’t get the hatchback traits just like Maruti Suzuki developed the Dzire individually. The all-new Xcent has not been caught testing on the Indian roads yet but it is expected to be launched by the end of 2019.

Hyundai Elantra

Expected launch: Mid 2019

Hyundai released the facelifted Elantra in the international markets. The facelifted Elantra gets a new grille, new headlamps, revised bumper and new fog lamp housings. It also gets new tail lamps, which makes it look very aggressive.

The new Elantra also gets a new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, forward collision warning system, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with active lane control and rearview camera with cross traffic alert. Most of these features may not come to India.
