Hyundai Kona
The all-new Hyundai Kona has already been launched in the international market and the company is planning to bring it to the Indian market via Auto Expo 2018.

Hyundai Elite i20 facelift
Hyundai is set to bring in the refreshed version of its premium hatchback, Elite i20. It has been due for an update for some time now, which has witnessed a recent drop in its sale numbers. It is undoubtedly the right time to introduce the facelift model in order to maintain its high standards in sales. It is expected to receive certain makeovers visually, while the same engine would drive it.

Hyundai Creta has proved to be a premium SUV, for its modern design and comfortable ride. Looking to keep up the momentum, Hyundai may introduce the facelift Creta at the Auto Expo. Besides making it more stylish, the company may look for changes to make it fuel-efficient as well.
Hyundai Santro
The most awaited family hatchback, Santro is likely to make its way back to the Indian market after being discontinued for years. It is expected to be the most attractive entry-level car at the event. With a simple compact design of the Santro, the company may provide it with a new look. The iconic hatchback will be placed under the Hyundai Grand i10 in the company’s portfolio. Amidst so much competition, expect it to come out with flying colors.
Hyundai Ioniq EV
