Hyundai Motor India Limited has officially entered the Indian commercial mobility segment with the launch of its new Prime Taxi Range. This lineup has been specially developed keeping taxi drivers and fleet owners in mind, ensuring better earnings, lower expenses, and dependable performance.

Introduction of Prime HB and Prime SD

Two Models Designed for Commercial Use

The new taxi range includes Prime HB (Hatchback) and Prime SD (Sedan). Both models have been designed specifically for commercial applications.

Hyundai’s focus is on users whose livelihood depends on vehicle uptime, low maintenance costs, and good fuel efficiency.

Powerful and Reliable Engine

Petrol + CNG Option for Lower Running Costs

Both Prime HB and Prime SD feature Hyundai’s proven 1.2-litre Kappa 4-cylinder engine, available with petrol and CNG options.

The CNG variant significantly reduces operating costs and increases per-kilometre profit, making it a major benefit for taxi operators.

Prices and Booking Details

The starting price of the Hyundai Prime HB is ₹5,99,900, while the Prime SD starts at ₹6,89,900.

Bookings can be made at all Hyundai dealerships across the country for just ₹5,000, making it easy even for new or small taxi operators to get started.

These vehicles come equipped with:

  • 6 airbags

  • Rear AC vents

  • Electric ORVMs

  • Steering-mounted controls

  • Front and rear power windows

  • Rear parking sensors

  • Central locking

  • Rear defogger

Together, they make travel safer and more comfortable for both drivers and passengers.

  • Adjustable headrests

These ensure compliance with commercial safety norms.

Better Mileage, Higher Profits

Hyundai claims that:

  • Prime SD delivers 28.40 km/kg (CNG)

This high mileage significantly reduces fuel expenses, helping taxi drivers increase their daily earnings.

Long Warranty and Low Maintenance Costs

The company further claims that maintenance costs will be around 47 paise per kilometer, reducing the total ownership cost considerably.
