The Indian car market is abuzz with the rumours of the South Korean car major, Hyundai Motors India developing an entry level sedan for the Indian car market. The auto industry of late has been introduced to the idea of entry level sedans and a lot of entry level sedans have been launched in the Indian car market in the past few years. Some of these are Toyota Etios, Mahindra Verito, Maruti Swift Dzire etc. However, Hyundai Motors India is absent from this segment and hence now wants to make its presence felt in the segment. This entry level compact sedan will be made on Hyundai i20 platform so a lot of design cues could be taken from Hyundai i20. Hyundai i20 is a highly popular hatchback in the premium small car segment of the Indian car market. The hatchback was doing pretty well in India but despite that a new version of the hatchback was launched in the domestic market earlier this year. The new version of the Hyundai i20 hatchback features the famous fluidic design of the South Korean car maker which has made the car look even more irresistible than before. The car gives a tough time to its rival in the same segment which includes Maruti Swift, Nissan Micra, Volkswagen Polo etc. New Hyundai i20 price in India is not that low, but despite that the popularity of the hatchback remains intact. Right now this is the only small car which is available in automatic transmission in the premium hatchback segment. Apart from this it comes with a array of world class features that enhances the entire premium feel of the hatchback. Not just this but the car also returns a good mileage, present in both petrol and diesel engine options, this is the only hatchback from the stables of Hyundai which is proffered in diesel engine.Hyundai i20 Diesel Engine has been quite famous for delivering high fuel efficiencies and power packed performances. Rumours also suggest that the car maker is thinking on the lines of barring its ageing sedan, Hyundai Accent which has been present in India since its launch back in 1999. The continual dropping sale of the sedan has led to phasing out the sedan from the domestic market which was once a good seller. Last year the company managed to get bookings of 11,000 units for the sedan in the entire year which is less than 1000 units a month. And last month less than 200 units of the sedan were sold across the nation. Therefore it would not be wrong to say that Hyundai wants to keep an option open to compete with the cars in the compact segment as its old Accent will go redundant soon. In order to fill the void the car maker might be thinking of bringing a new sedan, however there is no official statement out form the company regarding this therefore it is just a speculation. Coming back to the new sedan based on the Hyundai i20 hatchback, it is said to be less than four meters in length. This would enable the car maker to get advantage of the low excise duty which car less than four meters of length attract.
