Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has announced its entry into the commercial mobility segment with the launch of two dedicated taxi offerings - Prime HB (hatchback) and Prime SD (sedan). 

With this Hyundai aims to compete with Maruti Suzuki and its 'Tour' offerings. Maruti has five variants in the Tour segment.
 
The Prime SD and HB are available in the 'Petrol + CNG' option and are priced from INR 5,99,900 onwards.

Tarun Garg, managing director and CEO designate, Hyundai Motor India, said, “With the introduction of Prime HB and Prime SD, HMIL is proud to enter the commercial mobility space with products that are engineered for trust, reliability and good earning potential. Fleet operators and taxi drivers look for vehicles that deliver maximum uptime, predictable maintenance and low operating costs, and the Hyundai Prime range has been developed precisely with these priorities in mind. Backed by Hyundai’s extensive service network, attractive warranty, maintenance packages, low cost of ownership and flexible finance solutions, Prime HB and Prime SD will enable our commercial customers to enhance earnings while offering safe and comfortable mobility to passengers. This marks an important step in extending Hyundai’s promise of hassle-free ownership to the commercial segment as well.”
