Tata Punch-rivalling Hyundai Ai3 compact SUV spied

The Hyundai Ai3 will compete with the Tata Punch and Citroen C3 in the Indian market.

The first images of what is believed to be Hyundai’s upcoming compact SUV have surfaced online. The crossover was spotted at a parking lot in South Korea. 

The new model, codenamed: Ai3 CUV, is expected to be positioned below the Venue and could go on sale in 2023 during the festive season. 

Hyundai Ai3 appears to be inspired by the Casper compact SUV that was introduced in the South Korean market earlier. The car has a boxy exterior with squared-off wheel arches and an upright front fascia with a split headlamp design. The test vehicle has a sunroof, roof rails and a shark fin antenna.

Rumours suggest that the new Hyundai crossover could be based on a localized version of the K1 platform and could be slightly larger than the Casper. It will compete with the Tata Punch, Citroen C3 and the like.
