Designed to meet the evolving requirements of fleet operators and taxi entrepreneurs, the Prime range blends Hyundai’s core strengths of trust, reliability, low cost of ownership and passenger comfort with strong earning potential. Both models are powered by Hyundai’s proven 1.2-litre Kappa four-cylinder engine, offered in petrol and CNG configurations to ensure lower operating costs and improved returns per kilometre.
The Hyundai Prime Taxi range has been competitively priced, with the Prime HB starting at Rs 5.99 lakh and the Prime SD at Rs 6.89 lakh. Customers can book either model by paying a booking amount of Rs 5,000 at Hyundai dealerships across India.
With this launch, Hyundai Motor India aims to expand its footprint in the commercial mobility space while offering reliable, cost-efficient mobility solutions tailored for India’s growing taxi and fleet ecosystem.
