In order to compete with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, the Hyundai Carlino based sub-compact SUV is all set to launch in India next year.
Going by the recent images which circulated on the internet of the test mule of this SUV, it seems that the project of this sub-compact SUV has reached its final stages of development.
The Hyundai Carlino based sub-compact SUV will share its platform with the current generation Elite i20.
Here is everything you need to know about it.
Hyundai Carlino India- Launch Date
It was earlier being said that the Hyundai Compact SUV launch will take place only around the end of this decade. However, Hyundai India has said it plans to launch the Carlino by mid-2019. Hyundai was reportedly working on an MPV for India based on the Hexa Space concept. However, the recent slump is MPV sales seems to have prompted a shift in focus towards SUVs/crossovers.

In all likelihood, the Hyundai Compact SUV will go on sale with an aggressive price tag. Expect the entry-level model to have a starting price of roughly INR 7.5 lakh. The top-end Diesel variant could cost a little north of INR 10.5 lakh.

Hyundai Carlino- Engine Specifications
Powering the new Hyundai compact SUV in India might be the same engines that power the Elite i20.

The 1.2 Petrol offers a max. power of 82 bhp and a peak torque of 114.7 Nm @ 4,000 rpm. Whereas, the 1.4 Diesel oil burner pumps out a max. power of 88.7 bhp and a peak torque of 220 Nm.

Also on the cards could be a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. However, nothing’s official about this small capacity petrol motor. That said, by the time the compact SUV arrives, this new engine could already be powering certain Hyundai models in India. We won’t be surprised if the production-spec Hyundai Compact SUV gets a 1.0-litre turbo petrol with an optional 7-speed dual clutch automatic.

Hyundai Carlino- Exteriors
Hyundai Carlino or HND14 is a concept vehicle which showcases what Hyundai has in store for us in near future. This car, unlike most Fluidic design cars from the brand, has very aggressive and butch looks. It, however, does follow the design principles that we have seen on other Hyundai cars. The Hyundai Carlino compact SUV comes with a very aggressive front with a large grille, chunky bumpers and scuff plates under the bumper. The headlamps and fog lamps are sleek and are kind of geometric shapes which are more complex than usually seen on Hyundai cars.
