Hyundai Casper To Come With Two 1.0-Liter Engine Options

Hyundai has been teasing their upcoming micro-SUV for quite a while now. The Hyundai AX1 or Casper, as it is likely to be named, will go head to head against the Suzuki S-Presso and also the upcoming Tata HBX. And now a leaked document has revealed that the Hyundai Casper will come with the choice of a 1.0-liter naturally aspirated and 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine in Korea.The naturally aspirated unit will produce 76hp and will come mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission as standard, while the 1.0-liter TGDI turbo-petrol engine will produce 100hp and is the same unit that’s offered with the Venue in India. This too will come mated to a 4-speed automatic gearbox. That said, it remains to be seen what engine options Hyundai will offer with the Casper in India. While the 1.0-liter turbo-petrol unit could be reserved for higher variants, to keep costs down, Hyundai might offer the Nios’ 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine or even the Santro’s 1.1-litre three-cylinder motor.
