Seoul: South Korean carmaker Hyundai Motor Co plans to produce a new model in India priced as low as $5,000 and targeting emerging countries, Japanese business daily Nikkei reported.
Lheem Heung-soo, chief executive of Hyundai Motor India Ltd, told Nikkei in an interview the 800cc car, to be manufactured at its Chennai factory, would retail for $5,000-$6,000, adding the vehicle's debut was several years away.
In addition to the roll-out in India, where Hyundai is ranked No. 2, the model will be shipped to other emerging countries, the paper said.
A Hyundai spokeswoman in Seoul said the company was developing a small-size model in India but declined to give details such as the likely price or timing of sale.
