Hyundai Motor India Limited has expanded its presence in India's commercial mobility sector with the launch of the new Prime Taxi range. The line-up comprises two models, Prime HB and Prime SD, developed specifically for taxi operators and fleet owners who prioritize reliability, low running costs and long-term durability.
The Prime range aims to address the everyday realities of commercial use, where vehicles are expected to cover long distances with minimal downtime. Both the Prime HB hatchback and Prime SD sedan are powered by Hyundai's familiar 1.2-litre Kappa four-cylinder engine, offered with factory-fitted CNG. The CNG powertrain ensures that the running costs are relatively lower compared to the petrol powertrain.
Fuel efficiency plays a major role in the appeal of the Prime range. The Prime SD offers an estimated efficiency of up to 28.40 kmpl CNG, while the Prime HB is rated at 27.32 kmpl. To comply with commercial regulations, both models come with warranty-backed CNG integration as well as a company-fitted speed limiting function of 80 kmph.

Despite their work-centric status, prime models are not naked. Hyundai has equipped them with six airbags as standard as well as rear parking sensors, an emergency stop signal, three-point seatbelts and a rear defogger. Comfortable and convenient features like rear AC vents, power windows, steering-mounted audio controls, fast USB charging and driver seat height adjustment.
For operators looking to add more functionality, Hyundai is offering optional accessories designed for taxi use. These include a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a rear camera and a vehicle location tracking device with multiple panic buttons.
Ownership support remains the main focus of the Prime Taxi range. Hyundai is offering an extended warranty option for the fourth and fifth years or up to 1,80,000 km, which will help operators manage long-term maintenance costs. Flexible finance options with repayment tenure up to 72 months further improve access
Bookings for Prime HB and Prime SD are now open at Hyundai dealerships in India with booking amount 5,000. The models will be available in three color options: Atlas White, Typhoon Silver and Abyss Black.
