1. Azera

   

   This class apart luxury sedan is globally sold by Hyundai. Do you think Elantra is a premium sedan? Well, Azera will blow your mind off with the luxury it has to offer. But first things first, let’s take a look at the engine specifications of this car.

   N-line of Hyundai is known for styling and performance which sets them apart from the base cars. Veloster N is one of them. IT comes powered by a 2.0-litre TCi GDi engine. Take a look at its specs.

4. Nexo

   

   It was showcased at the Auto Expo 2020. My personal favourite Hyundai! You must be thinking why? Because it has got the fuel of the future powering the hatchback. It is Hyundai’s vision of better tomorrow. Nexo is powered by Hydrogen, one of the cleanest fuels available on the planet. The only emission it has is H2O a.k.a ‘Water’. Let’s take a look at the specs first.

   Nexo | Specs
   Motor	Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor with 64kWh battery

   Hyundai Nexo is one of its kind. It has got a range of 600kms on a single refill. The fuel cell takes a few minutes to refill. Range anxiety is no more. And the ones who fear Hydrogen being flammable, Hyundai has made sure that the Nexo is safe too. You can take a look in detail here.

5. Palliside

   

   People across the globe love Hyundai’s SUV. We know about Santa Fe and Tucson which have been well known in our country. If you really love the luxury, Pallaside is one SUV you would definitely want Hyundai to launch in India. It has 3 engine options.

6. i40

   

   i10 and i20 have been two of the most successful brands of Hyundai in India. Although station wagons have not been a hit in India, i40 might change the scenario. Unlike conventional wagons, it has got a better design, comfort and performance.

   i40 | Engine Specs
   Engine	2.0-litre GDi Gasoline	UII 1.7-litre Diesel
   Displacement	1,999	1,685
   Power	164ps @6,200rpm	141ps @4,000rpm
   Torque	202.99Nm @4,700rpm	340.2Nm @1,750-2,500rpm

   A turbo-petrol in a station wagon, it already ticks the performance part. On the features part, it gets Full auto air-conditioning system, drive mode selector, cruise control, front and rear seats warmer, front ventilated seats, supervision instrument cluster and so on. Take a look at this station wagon here.

7. Sonata

   

   Hyundai launched Sonata in India earlier but the luxury sedan was not able to grab a lot of attention at that time. It was a good car at the wrong time. But if the current generation of Sonata is launched in India now, it will definitely grab the luxury sedan segment. It has got two petrol engines to offer.

   Hyundai Sonata | Engine Specs
   Engine	2.0-litre MPi	2.5-litre Mpi
   Displacement	1,999	2,497
   Power	152ps @6,200rpm	180ps @6,000rpm
   Torque	192.2Nm @4,000rpm	232.41Nm @4,000rpm

   Sonata according to Hyundai is a step closer to perfection. Hyundai Sonata also oozes out the fluidic design philosophy of the company. It comes loaded with a list of features that you will surely look for in a Hyundai Sedan. Have a look here.

8. Kona (non-electric)

   

   Hyundai was the first company in India to introduce a fully electric SUV in the country. Kona Electric made it to the government fleet too. Globally, this SUV has got a more conventional avatar.

   Hyundai Kona | Engine Specs
   Engine	1.0-litre Kappa TCi GDi	1.6-litre Gamma TCi GDi
   Displacement	998cc	1,591cc
   Power	120ps @6,000rpm	177ps @5,500rpm

   0-100kmph	12	7.9

   Unlike it’s EV contemporary, Kona has been equipped with two engine options. The 1.0-litre GDi engine is currently seen on cars like Hyundai Venue and Verna in India. Kona offers a good amount of features and would surely be a good choice for SUV lovers, IF, launched in India. Read more about the Kona here.

9. H1

   

   Talking about Hyundai vehicles that should come to India, H1 cannot be left behind. The premium MPV from the company can surely be a head-turner. Currently, Hyundai offers no car in this segment.

   Hyundai H1 | Engine Specs
   Engine	2.4 MPi	2.5 TCi Diesel	2.5 CRDi Diesel
   Displacement	2,359	2,476	2,497
   Power	175ps @6,000rpm	100ps @3,800rpm	136ps @3,600rpm
   Torque	227.51Nm @4,200rpm	227Nm @2,000rpm	343Nm @1,500-2,500rpm

   H1 will rival the Kia Carnival directly if launched in India. It has got the space, the comfort and the performance one would demand in an MPV. Read here to know more.

10. 2020 Hyundai i20

    

    Last but not the least, 2020 Hyundai i20. It is to launch soon. Hyundai’s premium hatchback has been favourite among the Indian buyers. What we can expect from it?
